From the Manufacturer:
Acidgone powder absorbs the acid already secreted due to its tremendous absorbing power of its ingredients (water-soluble fibers, detox herbs and nutrients). Unlike long-acting anti-reflux drugs which inhibit the secretion of gastric acid leading to indigestion, Acidgone does not interfere with the digestive process.
Acidgone has the ideal pH of 7 when mixed with water alone. This makes it very effective in neutralizing excessive gastric d with pH of 1 or 2. The goal of therapy is to raise stomach pH to 4 or above for as long as possible except when a person is eating. Drugs which block the secretion of acid do not have this property.
Due to Acidgone's very low content of protein, it discourages the secretion of over abundance of stomach acid (HCl) or gastrin. (Gastric ulcers are no longer managed by diets rich in milk products, because although dairy products do neutralize stomach acid briefly, their high calcium and protein content actually stimulates more acid secretion.)
Acidgone is a soothing gel-like lubricant that acts as an internal moisturizer, which coats the stomach lining and insulates it from the harsh effect of the stomach acid. People with esophageal or stomach ulcers may see immediate relief in pain.
Acidgone provides nutrients to gastro-intestinal tissues to help the body heal itself. No drugs or antacids give you the nutritional values as Acidgone.
