LJ88 improves heartburn symptoms
We investigated the impact of a heat-killed lactic acid bacterium, known as No. 1088 (LJ88), on heartburn symptoms in healthy individuals. In a randomized, placebo-controlled study with 120 participants, the LJ88 group noticed significant improvement in heartburn symptoms after six weeks compared to those taking a placebo.
Remarkably, no serious side effects were reported. This suggests that daily consumption of LJ88 can potentially alleviate heartburn issues in otherwise healthy people.

Lactobacillus offers some quality of life improvement
Our randomized, double-blind study explored the effects of fermented soy containing Lactobacillus delbrueckii on heartburn in adults. Participants consumed it over three weeks, but we found no significant differences in heartburn severity or frequency between the fermented soy and placebo groups.
However, some quality of life aspects, like medication inconvenience and ability to concentrate, showed marked improvement with fermented soy. Moreover, certain digestive issues improved during a washout period for the fermented soy group. While lactobacillus may help improve some quality of life factors, further research is needed to confirm its long-term benefits for heartburn relief.

Supplement reduces heartburn symptoms
In this well-structured study, we examined how a food supplement with probiotics, peptides, and vitamins might help those suffering from mild-to-moderate heartburn. Over 28 days, 56 participants received either the supplement or a placebo.
Remarkably, those taking the active supplement experienced noticeably fewer and less intense heartburn episodes compared to the placebo group. Additionally, they reduced their reliance on over-the-counter medications.
Improvements in quality of life scores were also significant in the group taking the supplement, indicating its potential effectiveness for managing GERD symptoms.

After struggling with a messed up gut, I started taking these capsules daily, opening them and mixing with yoghurt. Within days, my stomach felt better. I’m thrilled to have found these; I rarely need to take them now—the heartburn and distress from eating are gone.

We explored the effects of the NC Gut Relief Formula, a blend of herbs and nutrients, over 16 weeks in adults with digestive disorders.
After taking the formula, participants reported a significant 60%-80% improvement in upper and lower gastrointestinal symptoms, including heartburn. Remarkably, many were able to stop using proton pump inhibitors by the study's end.
Additionally, the formula improved overall quality of life, energy levels, and enabled individuals to reintroduce previously troublesome foods without increased symptoms.

We explored how taking probiotics alongside proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) impacted children with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In a study with 128 GERD kids, half received PPIs and a placebo, while the other half got PPIs and probiotics for 12 weeks.
After treatment, 56.2% in the placebo group had dysbiosis, but just 6.2% in the probiotics group did. This shows that adding probiotics significantly reduced dysbiosis rates, bringing them close to those of healthy children.
The findings suggest that probiotics can be beneficial for children using PPIs to manage GERD.

Lactobacillus strain shows promise
We investigated the potential of a unique strain of Lactobacillus johnsonii No. 1088, renowned for its impressive ability to survive in acidic environments and its antibacterial properties.
This strain not only inhibited the growth of harmful bacteria like Helicobacter pylori but also reduced gastric acid secretion in mice. While these findings suggest it could aid in treating conditions like heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease, the direct effectiveness of Lactobacillus johnsonii No. 1088 for heartburn relief in humans remains to be established.
Therefore, while promising, more research is needed to confirm its benefits for heartburn sufferers.
