Conclusion of Our Aftazen Review
We found several encouraging features of this product. The ingredients are likely to be beneficial and have been shown to help cure canker sores. The manufacturer offers various discounts for bulk orders. Buy 2, save $20, buy 3 save $50, buy 6 save $120. Shipping is free in the U.S. and Canada. There is a 60 day money-back guarantee. AftaZen contains no animal ingredients and is suitable for vegetarians. We felt that there was room for improvement however. In terms of dosage instructions, the information was somewhat vague. The manufacturer did not mention if you need to take the capsules with food or if you are required to take all the capsules together at the same time or not. It’s also unclear what determines whether you need to take 2 capsules or 6. The 60 day money-back guarantee is only valid on 2 and 4 month treatments only. This is a very expensive product costing $49.99 for a 60 capsule bottle which at a dose of 6 per day will only last you 10 days! We are skeptical that a supplement that you swallow can heal a topical problem. There are many effective topical creams, and gels that are sold to treat canker sores and these might be more effective than swallowing a pill. We were also concerned that AftaZen states that it can take several weeks before the supplement shows any results. A canker sore can disappear by itself in a couple of weeks without any treatment at all so it would be hard to determine if this product is doing any good at all. For all these reasons we are not able to recommend this product to treat your canker sores.
