FAQ's
What is GERD?
Hydrochloric acid is secreted due to chemical signals in the stomach.
This digestive acid secretion is one of the links in the chain of events
necessary for proper digestion of food. Some people overproduce stomach
acid and suffer occasional heartburn when they consume certain acid-stimulating
foods and beverages.
A more serious condition is called GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease).
GERD is a syndrome caused by a dysfunctional lower esophageal sphincter
that permits an upward flow of gastric hydrochloric acid into the esophagus.
In other words, the top of the stomach fails to close properly and allows
stomach acid to escape upwards. This abnormal upward flow of gastric acid
causes burning and continual erosion of the esophageal tissue. This can
happened even if the stomach lacks enough acid to properly digest proteins
and minerals, and is sometimes caused by food intolerances, stress or
other factors.
How does Acid Redux™ work in the stomach to provide relief?
Acid Redux™ has a soothing influence on the smooth muscle, esophageal
mucosa (mucus membraines) and blood vessels of the gastrointestinal system
(GI) by buffering the hydrochloric acid secretions that cause the irritation
experienced by those with GERD or acid reflux. Acid Redux™ does not
treat GERD or acid reflux disease, but does relieve the symptoms. The
acid-neutralizing composition of Acid Redux™ includes the rapid-acting
alkaline minerals potassium and magnesium hydroxide, as well as the longer
acting alkaline mineral calcium carbonate. These alkaline minerals are
effective in directly reducing stomach acidity. This product is equally
helpful in reducing the acidity of orange and tomato juice, as well as
caffeinated beverages like coffee and tea.
The proper low pH (acidity) in the stomach should not be confused with
the overall pH of the body, which is sometimes assessed by urinating on
a pH test strip with the first urination of the morning. This test approximates
the pH of the bloodstream as a means of assessing the body’s reserves
of alkaline, buffering minerals, which affects a wide range of health
factors, including bone health. This is about metabolic pH, not stomach
acid or foods that taste acidy.
Is Acid Redux™ as effective in buffering hydrochloric acid as
some other over the counter products?
Laboratory testing comparing Acid Redux™ to four major over-the-counter
brands of antacids has shown that Acid Redux™ is faster acting in
its ability to neutralize a hydrochloric acid solution of pH 2.20. Its
stronger “base nature” (alkalinity) initiates the buffering
effect on the H+ ions (positive hydrogen), allowing the neutralizing effect
to react quickly and over a longer period of time for extended relief.
Is Acid Redux™ like the prescription proton pump inhibitors that
stop the secretion of gastric acid in the stomach?
No, Acid Redux™ is not a proton or gastric acid pump inhibitor. It
does not inhibit the production of gastrin (the hormone that stimulates
the production of gastric juice), as proton pump inhibitors do.
