Acid reflux help
For managing acid reflux, several supplements have shown potential benefits:
- Ginger: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger can help soothe the gastrointestinal tract and reduce the frequency of heartburn by reducing acid production1.
- Melatonin: Typically known for its role in regulating sleep, melatonin has also demonstrated benefits in reducing GERD symptoms2.
- Peppermint Oil: This can relax the lower esophageal sphincter and other abdominal muscles, potentially helping with gastrointestinal symptoms. However, care must be taken as it might have adverse effects like heartburn in some individuals3.
- Chamomile: Chamomile tea is widely known for its calming effects and might help reduce GERD symptoms and associated issues like stomach cramps, bloating, and flatulence4.
- Zinc Carnosine: Some studies highlight its role in protecting and healing the stomach lining, which could help alleviate acid reflux symptoms5.
