A medicinal composition using nutrients herbs, botanicals and other natural substances for supporting structures and functions in the upper digestive tract, including but not limited to beneficial effects on the lining and functions of esophagus, stomach and duodenum and the treatment of disorders of the digestive tract that are related to excessive secretions of acid and pepsin which affect any tissues of the upper digestive tract. The basis of the invention and method of treatment focuses on the use of natural substances which exert several effects on body structure and function, including but not limited to: immediate neutralization of acid secreted by the human or animal stomach, antioxidant effects on tissues, complimentary actions for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) or primary actions on the eradication of H. pylori, delayed effects on the reduction of the secretion of gastric acid by a mechanism of inhibition of the function of gastric proton pumps. A key factor in this patent is the use of natural substances to achieve a bimodal, chronological effect on acid reduction. The inventive formulations and the range of the ingredients provide an opportunity for initial neutralization of gastric acid followed by an inhibition of gastric acid secretion, as a function of this unique formulation of natural ingredients with bio pharmaceutical actions. This invention can be used as complimentary therapy with all acid reducing natural substances and pharmaceuticals. Its unique formulation will compliment any attempts to reduce the damaging effects of gastric acid and reduce the damaging effects of H. pylori infection of the upper digestive tract. |
