Acid Calm™ - 90 Capsules

Enzyme Science Acid Calm™ Provides relief for occasional heartburn and indigestion.* Enzymes to aid digestion* Soothing botanicals Marshmallow Root and Gotu Kola* With PepZinGI® Zinc Carnosine Occasional heartburn after a meal is often a symptom of impaired digestion due to lifestyle and poor dietary choices. A deficiency in the natural production of digestive enzymes may be an underlying cause of gastrointestinal complaints including occasional heartburn. Acid Calm™ supports those who experience occasional heartburn by helping to better digest problem foods, while also providing long-term support for the function of the GI system.* Zinc carnosine is included to optimize the mucosal lining of the stomach, acting as a buffer to gastric acid.* The National Institutes of Health estimate that 60 million Americans experience a burning sensation in the chest or acid taste in their throats at least once a month.1 Occasional heartburn is a digestive problem that may occur when stomach acid comes into contact with the lining of the esophagus, causing irritation. Most people suffer from heartburn occasionally, usually after a meal. Although commonly attributed to excessive acid production, occasional heartburn is often a symptom of impaired digestion as a result of factors including lifestyle, diet and genetics.
