Product Information
Benefits Enzymedica’s Heartburn Soothe‡ is the result of detailed, proprietary scientific research to provide immediate results. * This formula soothes occasional heartburn, protects the digestive tract, and rebuilds the mucosal lining of the GI tract.*It represents a major scientific breakthrough that supports digestive health and total body wellness, by combining the effects of alginate, a buffering agent from seaweed, and a unique botanical extract.* These ingredients act as both a barrier and a buffer for gastric acid, while soothing the GI tract lining.* The Science Heartburn Soothe‡ features alginate, or alginic acid, a viscous compound found in the cell walls of brown algae.
