Gum Tonic
L.A. Naturals
Overview
Gum Tonic's effectiveness is based on a blend of traditionally used herbs with known antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. While individual ingredients like Goldenseal, Myrrh, and Coptis have supporting in vitro and some clinical evidence (particularly for their active compounds), the product's use of a 'Proprietary Blend' prevents an accurate assessment of individual ingredient dosages, making definitive claims about overall efficacy difficult. The stated 253 mg 'Herb Weight Equivalence' per serving for the entire blend further limits understanding of active compound concentrations critical for therapeutic effects.
The Good
Utilizes traditional herbal medicine for oral health support.
Ingredients like Myrrh, Goldenseal, and Coptis offer antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Convenient liquid form for direct application to gums or swishing.
The Bad
Proprietary blend hides individual ingredient dosages, making efficacy and safety assessment difficult.
Goldenseal and Coptis can cause significant drug interactions due to CYP enzyme inhibition.
Long-term use of Goldenseal is not well-studied and may carry risks.
