For you to digest your food properly, you NEED acid in your stomach!

This is something that is very obviously overlooked by those who make and those who take antacids.

While antacids may temporarily relieve heartburn and indigestion, in the long run it can actually make it worse. Indigestion is caused when the food you eat is not broken down completely - a situation cause by TOO LITTLE acid. Some doctors have found that a supplemental INCREASE in stomach acid along with a quality digestive enzyme supplement can improve digestion and reduce the symptoms of indigestion. Why?

It's simple: without enough acid present large food molecules aren't broken down into smaller molecules efficiently and completely which causes gas, bloating and - you guessed it - acid reflux. The exact thing antacids are supposed to counteract. Another complication is that once your stomach realizes there isn't enough acid present, it starts to over-produce acid to try to keep up, which leads to more antacid use - a vicious cycle!

Further complications of low stomach acid can include food allergies, reduced resistance to harmful bacteria such as those that cause food poisoning and Candida, malnutrition (Because your body cannot extract and absorb the nutrients from your food. This can lead to chronic fatigue, reduced immunity, brittle hair, nails and bones and a myriad of other health problems.) and worsening of your indigestion.

 

As if that weren't enough.

The compounds and elements that make up antacids can have negative health effects.

• Calcium compounds can cause kidney stones.
• Aluminum compounds cause constipation and aluminum is neurotoxic.
• Magnesium causes diarrhea and can cause cardiovascular and neurological complications in some people.
• Increased sodium intake can cause hypertension, heart failure and renal disease.

Those are just some examples, there are more and they vary by element, compound and the person taking them.

 

So do you see a better more NATURAL solution?

The use of enzyme supplements for reducing or even eliminating indigestion issues is a far better choice than using an antacid. It is the enzymes found in the foods you eat, and those made by your digestive organs (including stomach acid) that are responsible for proper digestion. - NATURAL compounds found in your body. There's not a lot that's natural about an antacid.

The 12 enzymes found in Enzalase are the same that are found in your body, and aid digestion NATURALLY and without side effects. Just one a day with your largest meal should make a difference within a few days. True it's not "instant" like some antacids are, but like the old adage goes "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". Antacids may sound really good, but in the long run, you may pay a pretty high price. Instead, try Enzalase.
