Flora Antacid

Digestive Aids > Misc.

Flor•Antacid™ contains selected fruit fibres (also called pectin), developed for medical use, and quality tested natural dolomite chalk from the Norwegian mountains. One Flor•Antacid™ tablet contains 200mg of the dolomite that gives the foam a neutral pH of approximately 6.

Flor•Antacid™ is sugar-free as it is sweetened with sorbital, and peppermint oil has been added for a refreshingly pleasant peppermint flavour.

Flor•Antacid™ is different from other antacid preparations because it contains no aluminum hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate. Scientists are now questioning the possible side effects of aluminum, and long term use of sodium bicarbonate is not recommended.

Flor•Antacid™ does not cause acid rebound. Most antacids work by neutralizing the stomach acids so it doesn't "burn" if they get into the esophagus. Unfortunately, the stomach just responds by producing more acid, thus setting up a vicious circle. This does not happen with Flor•Antacid™ because the neutral dolomite/pectin foam rises to the top of the stomach, keeping the acid in the stomach where it belongs. This soft foamy "lid" stays in place for up to 5 hours with no acid rebound effect. Flor•Antacid™ also quickly neutralizes any acid that may have already reached the top of the esophagus, easing discomfort quickly.
