Finding Relief: Exploring the Benefits of GastraKalm for Acid Reflux
Acid reflux is when you experience that burning feeling behind your breastbone, in your throat that may occur after eating, in the evening, or when lying down or bending over. Sometimes you can even taste food that has travelled from your stomach back to your throat through the oesophagus (regurgitation). This can be uncomfortable and make you feel sick. Being overweight also increases the risk of acid reflux. A more serious version of acid reflux is also referred to as GERD (gastroesophageal reflux).
Understanding GERD
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects millions worldwide, causing discomfort and disrupting daily life. While lifestyle changes and medications are commonly recommended, there’s growing interest in functional foods that may offer relief. In this article, we delve into the unique patented ingredients that have been formulated together to give a synergistic effect designed to soothe, calm, and ease the symptoms of GERD rapidly.
Occasional heartburn is common but does not necessarily mean one has GERD. Heartburn that occurs more than twice a week may be considered GERD, and it can eventually lead to more serious health problems. This condition can cause chronic cough which may be the only symptom.
The prevalence of GERD is staggering, with approximately 20% of the population in the United States experiencing symptoms at least weekly. Globally, GERD affects an estimated 10% to 20% of the adult population.
Most current treatments are not natural. Antacids can neutralize stomach acid but, in response to this, the stomach produces even more acid. There are pharmaceutical options that can help but H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors when taken long-term have serious side effects. We need something natural that works to soothe the burning and bring relief.
The Natural Functional Solution—A Synergistic Approach
Introducing a promising functional food product – GastraKalm which has been formulated to address acid reflux symptoms effectively. This innovative solution combines four active ingredients: Gastro-AD®, DigeSEB Pro™, AstraGIN®, and ginger. Let’s explore how each ingredient contributes to soothing and calming the discomfort associated with acid reflux and GERD.
Gastro-AD® – Fermented non-GMO Soy with Postbiotics for Quick Relief
Gastro-AD® is a natural plant-based fermented solution that has been proven to be effective for acid reflux and related symptoms of heartburn by neutralizing gastric acidity. It provides immediate relief of symptoms, and with regular use, long-term relief as well. A recent 2020 clinical trial found that Gastro-AD® may reduce heartburn frequency and may alleviate stomach bloating over time whilst a 2021 preclinical model showed that Gastro-AD® suppresses gastric acid secretion and protects gastric tissue from damage. A more recent, 2022 preclinical study confirms the efficacy of Gastro-AD® against acid reflux and gastric pain. It is a non-GMO soy fermented by Lallemand’s Lactobacillus delbrueckii R0187 which has been inactivated and categorized as a postbiotic with health benefits. Its unique formulation helps maintain the integrity of the gastric mucosa, reducing the risk of acid-induced damage and inflammation. By promoting a healthy gastric environment, Gastro-AD® works to alleviate symptoms such as heartburn.
DigeSEB Pro™ – A Complete Enzyme Blend for Healthy Digestion
DigeSEB Pro™ is another patented ingredient known for its digestive support properties. This blend of 17 digestive enzymes aids in the breakdown and absorption of nutrients, promoting smoother digestion and reducing the likelihood of indigestion and reflux. By enhancing digestive efficiency, DigeSEB Pro™ helps minimize the occurrence and severity of acid reflux and GERD symptoms.
AstraGIN® – Helps Promote Healthy Gut Wall
AstraGIN® is a patented compound derived from Astragalus and Panax Ginseng. This synergistic combination helps to improve gut health by reducing intestinal mucosa inflammation and thus supporting gut lining repair and enhancing nutrient absorption and gut health. By modulating gut microbiota and improving intestinal barrier function, AstraGIN® may help alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort associated with GERD. Its inclusion in GastraKalm contributes to its overall efficacy in managing symptoms.
Ginger Extract – Renowned Anti-Inflammatory and Digestive Aid
Ginger has long been recognized globally for its anti-inflammatory and digestive properties. Studies suggest that ginger may help reduce inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract and alleviate symptoms of indigestion and heartburn. Additionally, ginger’s carminative properties help expel excessive gas, providing further relief from discomfort.
Conclusion
Acid reflux and GERD can significantly impact the quality of life, but relief may be found in GastraKalm which has been designed to address underlying digestive issues. With its potent blend of patented ingredients and natural botanicals, it represents a promising option for those seeking effective symptom management. By soothing, calming, and easing discomfort, GastraKalm offers hope to those battling the effects of acid reflux and GERD.
