Curcumin – Attacks the inflammatory pathway at multiple points. For example, it lowers pro-inflammatory enzymes (LOX and COX-2) and blocks NF-kB – a molecule that turns on genes involved in the inflammatory process. So effective is this anti-inflammatory action that its potency has been compared to prescription drugs but without the side effects.

Aloe Vera Gel – This specific gel form of aloe vera contains 12 different types of anti-inflammatory compounds which are especially effective on irritations of the oral mucosa.

Sage Extract – Its active constituent called rosmarinic acid helps reduce swelling in the uvula and brings fast symptomatic relief from the irritation.

Bilberry Extract – Works in synergy with the sage extract as active compounds called tannins reduce inflammation of the uvula’s mucosal lining.

Garlic Extract – This natural extract doesn’t just protect your uvula, it protects the tissues around it as well, effectively defending you from the flow-over effect.

Ginger Extract – As a potent anti-inflammatory agent it helps relieve the pain and actively prevents tissue damage to your uvula’s epithelium.

Meadowsweet Extract – A natural source of salicylates which have excellent pain relieving properties in addition to soothing the inflammation of the uvula’s outer lining.

Gotu Kola Extract – Active compounds in gotu kola, called triterpenes, promote proper tissue healing while another active constituent called glycosaminoglycan helps shorten the recovery period from the irritation. Gotu kola also works by stimulating specialized cells called fibroblasts to re-synthesize and replace the damaged extra cellular matrix under the uvula surface. It also stimulates epithelial cells on the uvula surface to ensure proper, scar-free regeneration of its delicate tissue.

Ginkgo Biloba – Active compounds in this extract, called ginkgolides and bilobalides, help accelerate uvula healing by improving blood supply to the injured tissue. These compounds also help maintain the integrity of newly repaired blood vessels by improving their tone and elasticity.

Bilberry Extract – This extract works synergistically with ginkgo biloba to improve microcirculation in the irritated tissue and supports the proper regeneration of connective tissue in our uvula.

Grape Seed Extract – Grape seed extract is a rich source of antioxidants and oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes (OPCs), both of which have powerful wound healing properties. It helps reduce edema (swelling), improves microcirculation and maintains the strength of the connective tissue under the uvula surface.

Vitamin A – Vitamin A is so essential to the healing process that even minor deficiencies can slow down your recovery and result in poor tissue repair. The outer lining of our uvula is composed of epithelial cells and Vitamin A directly exerts its beneficial effects on these cells. It not only helps improve the migration of epithelial cells to the site of damage but also improves the cellular turnover of existing epithelial cells for proper tissue regeneration.

Zinc – Just like Vitamin A, Zinc is also essential for regenerating new epithelial cells. It also promotes healing by reducing inflammation and boosting collagen production in the deeper layers of the uvula.

Vitamin C – Helps speed uvula healing by boosting collagen levels in the injured tissue and maintains an optimal production of healthy connective tissue under the epithelial surface.

Wheatgrass Extract – It is a rich source of amino acids which are vital building blocks necessary for the proper regeneration of our uvula tissue after an injury or infection.

Aloe Vera Gel – This remarkable ingredient contains at least six different kinds of antiseptic compounds known to kill viruses, bacteria and fungi.

Garlic Extract – Contains an active compound known as Allicin with antibacterial properties so astounding that it compares in effectiveness to penicillin. In addition, it also has antifungal and antiparasitic properties and is known to be effective in treating uvulitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and even allergies. In other words, garlic extract doesn’t just protect your uvula, it protects the extended tissues around it, effectively defending you from the flow-over effect.

Sage Extract – Sage has excellent antiseptic properties that are especially effective on the oral mucosa. It has shown to be effective against different strains of bacteria such as Salmonella, E.Coli. It even has remarkable antifungal activity, particularly against Candida albicans which is a common cause of oral yeast infections that often affect the uvula. Sage is not only effective at directly fighting infections of the uvula, it can even help prevent secondary opportunistic infections that may emerge as a result of the uvulitis cycle of damage. It’s high tannin levels also give it marked astringent properties which help tighten the mucus membranes, preventing the infection from going deeper into the tissue.

Ginger Extract – Ginger’s antimicrobial properties make it effective against E.Coli, Salmonella, Staphyloccoccus and even the Steptococcus species.

Curcumin – Curcumin has shown to be extremely beneficial as an antimicrobial especially upon direct contact of mucosal tissues such as the uvula.

Green Tea Extract – Active compounds known as green tea catechins have shown to be effective in neutralizing both bacterial and viral infections.

Wheatgrass Extract – There is a reason why wheatgrass is considered the king of alkalinizing foods. It has an acidity lowering (pH increasing) effect which is extremely helpful for defending your uvula against acid erosion.

Meadowsweet Extract – Meadowsweet acts like a natural antacid that protects the outer surface of the uvula from acid damage.

Marshmallow Extract – The active component of marshmallow, called mucilage, is a slippery gel-like substance that coats the mucous membrane of our uvula. This coating is especially helpful in protecting our uvula from acid reflux because it remains unaltered by the gastric acids and retains its benefits all the way to the colon.

Green Tea Extract – The polyphenols found in green tea have wide ranging benefits, however one particular polyphenol called EGCG has remarkable benefits for uvulitis sufferers. While many other extracts in the Uvulin formula protect the uvula from acid damage through a shielding effect, EGCG is the only natural compound that has shown to target the root of the problem and help the smooth muscles of the lower esophageal sphincter tighten better so that acid doesn’t escape the stomach in the first place.

Licorice Extract – Compounds called sterols and sterolins found in licorice help balance the immune system, preventing allergy driven immune attacks on the uvula.

American Ginseng Extract – One of the oldest studied adaptogen and has shown to be helpful in restoring immune system balance and normalizing organ function.

Quercetin – A bioflavonoid, derived from fresh fruits and vegetables, which helps provide relief from allergic reactions that may be the cause of your uvulitis. It works by stabilizing mast cells and blocking the release of histamines and other pro-inflammatory signals.

Gotu Kola Extract – Studies have now shown that active compounds in this extract have the ability to heal ulcerations, especially those affecting mucosal tissues.

Aloe Vera Gel – Has shown to heal mucosal ulcerations, such as apthous ulcers (common uvula ulcers) which is precisely what is needed to protect the uvula from erosive damage.

Licorice Extract – Flavonoids in this extract are known to relieve mucous membrane sores in our mouth. It helps protect the uvula from ulcerative damage by forming a protective film coating its outer lining.

Marshmallow Extract – The slippery gel-like mucilage found in this extract acts like a natural liquid bandage coating over uvula ulcers, while flavonoids found in this coating help the ulcerations underneath.

Curcumin Extract – In multiple clinical studies, curcumin has shown to not just heal mucosal tissues ulcerations but also prevent their occurrence in the long run.

Meadowsweet Extract – It astringent properties helps heal ulcerations by tightening and toning the lining of the uvula, which has an immediate shrinking effect on the ulcer.

Aloe Vera Gel – This gel form of aloe vera helps maintain the uvula surface’s moisture levels by creating a protective hydrating barrier around it (similar to saliva).

Licorice Extract – Reinforces aloe vera gel’s barrier function by forming a film coating on the outer lining of the uvula which prevents both dehydration and throat itchiness.

Cleavers Extract – This extract has a unique protective effect on the salivary and seromucous glands of our uvula. The active compounds in cleavers which include flavonoids, tannins and iridoid glycosides help defend these glands from the damaging effect of inflammation, allowing them to sustain their normal function even in the middle of a uvulitis flareup.

Bilberry Extract – Anthocyanosides are also known to have potent antioxidant activity which provide critical protection against oxidative damage.

Grape Seed Extract – Clinical studies have even confirmed that the proanthocyanidins found in grape seeds can prevent cancer cell development.

Ginkgo Biloba Extract – Active compounds, called ginkgo flavone glycosides, have remarkable antioxidant properties that effectively counter free-radical damage to your uvula.

Zinc – Is a powerful antioxidant with the ability to quickly scavenge cell-damaging free radicals.

Vitamin C – Vitamin C is another powerful water-soluble antioxidant, which means it can neutralize free radicals in the aqueous fluids in the intracellular environment of our uvula cells.

Garlic Extract – Clinical studies have validated its anticancer properties. Garlic has potent antioxidant effect on our uvula and its surrounding tissue. As a matter of fact, research has even suggested that it can help in preventing throat cancers – one of the biggest risks of chronic uvulitis.

Curcumin – Curcumin’s biggest benefit is its ability to slow and even prevent the development of many types of cancer. The powerful antioxidant properties of curcumin can help prevent free radical injury to the membranes of our uvula cells and guard its DNA from damage. Curcumin has also shown to interrupt the growth of blood vessels in developing tumors.

American Ginseng Extract – Emerging research has also supported ginseng’s antioxidant role in protecting against cancer.

Quercetin – Quercetin’s anti-cancer protection comes from a unique process where it activates a key step in the production of glutathoine – our body’s most important antioxidant.

Wheatgrass Extract – Not only does wheatgrass contain many different antioxidant compounds, it has also shown to reduce the absorption of toxins and carcinogens into our cells.

Green Tea Extract – Recently green tea has also been garnering a lot of attention because of its powerful antioxidant effect which is 25 times stronger than Vitamin E. Studies have even shown its protective effects against esophageal cancer. It is believed to selectively induce apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone. Especially noteworthy for uvulitis sufferers is one particular study that showed Green tea extract’s benefits on leukoplakia – precancerous patches that occur in the mucosal membranes of our mouth, such as the uvula. Green tea had shown to cause significant decreases in this condition and even prevented it from growing into cancer.

Preventing age related uvula elongation – While tannins found in the extracts of meadowsweet, sage and cleavers have a tightening effect on the uvula tissue surface, ingredients such as gotu kola help maintain the uvula’s normal size by boosting collagen in the connective tissue underneath. This effect combined with Uvulin’s antioxidant properties helps defend your uvula against many age related processes that progressively degrade the structure and function of the uvula tissue.

Detoxification of the uvula – Many ingredients in the Uvulin formula help cleanse toxins from your uvula tissue. For example, the natural sulfur compounds found in our garlic extract and the saponins found in our wheatgrass extract are known to have a detoxifying effects on our soft tissues. In addition, cleaver’s extract also helps flush our uvula of toxins by boosting the flow of lymphatic fluids through it.
