Oxifem SMF Capsules

Description

Oxifem SMF capsules is a dietary supplement designed to support oral health, specifically in the treatment of submucous fibrosis (SMF). Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic, progressive condition characterized by the formation of fibrous bands in the oral cavity, particularly in the submucosal layer of the oral mucosa. This condition primarily affects the oral mucosa, the membrane lining the inside of the mouth.

Curcumin is known to inhibit the cytokine storm induced by areca nut and prevent fibrosis of the oral cavity. Various studies have shown that curcumin could inhibit the symptoms related to this disease, such as burning sensation, and improve mouth opening, and tongue protrusion through the modulation of various biochemical processes and molecules. Curcumin was found to modulate multiple hallmarks of several fibrosis disorders characterized by cytokine storm, oxidative stress, collagen synthesis, and expression of matrix metalloproteinases. As curcumin is a safe and affordable agent, it has remarkable potential in the prevention and treatment of OSF.
