Question
I bought some neem capsules.  The main reason why I bought it was because its suppose to help maintain healthy gums.  Is that true?

What else is it good for?

Thanks in advance.

Answer
Dear Sallie,

Thank you for your interest in Neem and buying Neem Products.

Neem leaf & Bark are mainly used and effective on gums when applied topically.

Powders, Extracts of the same can be used directly or incorporated in toothpowder/ toothpaste or a product from any FDA approved company for dental application is to be used.

Neem Powder capsules can show result also when ingested but the effect comes slowly and is sure when the problem is due to internal causes

However to remove existing plague / avoid buildup , bleeding of gums, etc..you can use it externally.

Best of Health to you Sallie !!
