About Healios

Healios is an over-the-counter, nutrient-based product for cancer patients at-risk for oral mucositis, as well as esophagitis. It was developed by hematologist-oncologist Dr. Peter Anderson to address the epithelial cellular damage caused by cancer treatments.

Healios contains L-glutamine as the active ingredient and it comes as a powder that patients mix with water to form a swish and swallow solution. Download the Healios resource guide to learn more.
