Life Extension - Esophageal Guardian (Berry) - 60 Chewable Tablets

What is Esophageal Guardian?

Esophageal Guardian helps to protect the sensitive lining of the esophagus from strong stomach acids. Less than a minute after you chew and swallow two berry-flavored tablets, this formula forms a temporary foam layer on top of the stomach's contents. Clinical studies show that this barrier helps to protect the esophageal tissue.

Research on Esophageal Guardian

Clinical studies have shown that when alginic acid in Esophageal Guardian comes into contact with stomach acids, it forms a gel that has been shown to relieve stomach discomfort.

Why have we added potassium bicarbonate?

When potassium bicarbonate is combined with alginic acid, it forms a temporary foam barrier between the stomach and the esophagus.

Alginic Acid and Potassium Bicarbonate

When the alginic acid and potassium bicarbonate in Esophageal Guardian come into contact with stomach acids, they form a bubble-filled gel. This creates a temporary foam layer on top of the stomach’s contents. This barrier helps to protect the esophageal tissue and provides relief in less than a minute and lasts up to 4 hours.

Product Information

Acid reflux is very common and can have a significant impact on quality of life, and data suggests that its incidence is increasing. According to a systematic review of scientific literature, 18 to 28 percent of the US population experiences some form of stomach discomfort.

Gel-forming Alginates

When alginic acid and potassium bicarbonate in Esophageal Guardian come into contact with stomach acids, the alginic acid forms a gel and the potassium bicarbonate produces bubbles that are then trapped in the gel. This protective, temporary foam barrier (or raft) between the stomach and the esophagus helps to protect your esophageal tissue from strong stomach acids: alginate raft formulations have been shown to relieve stomach discomfort in clinical studies.

Maximum Support for Sensitive Esophageal Tissue

This formula contains calcium and magnesium carbonate to provide maximum support for digestive comfort. Additionally, Esophageal Guardian also includes pomegranate and strawberry extracts to combat oxidative stress, provide gastro-protective benefits, and help promote a healthy inflammatory response. In a preclinical study, strawberry extract promoted the health of the gastric mucosa by inhibiting oxidative stress and oxidation of gastric lipids.

Esophageal Guardian's ingredients provide relief in less than a minute, but last up to 4 hours.
