How This Tablet Helps with Acid Reflux, Gas, and Stomach Discomfort

1. Neutralizes Stomach Acid (Acid Reflux Relief):

• Sodium bicarbonate neutralizes excess stomach acid (HCl), reducing acidity and relieving symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux.
• The reaction in the stomach is similar to the one in water: NaHCO₃ + HCl → NaCl + CO₂ + H₂O
• This helps increase the stomach’s pH, reducing the burning sensation from acid reflux.

2. Relieves Gas and Bloating:

• The release of CO₂ gas can help break up trapped gas in the stomach and intestines, relieving bloating and discomfort.
• However, some people may feel temporary burping as the gas is expelled from the stomach.

3. Aids Digestion and Comforts an Uneasy Stomach:

• Sodium citrate (formed in the reaction) acts as a buffer, helping maintain a balanced stomach pH and reducing excessive acidity.
• The effervescent nature of the tablet helps with rapid absorption for faster relief.

Onset and Duration of Action

• Begins working within minutes as the tablet dissolves and neutralizes stomach acid.
• Effects last for 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on stomach contents and severity of symptoms.
