Zinc-enhanced therapy improves eradication
We explored the effectiveness of a modified bismuth quadruple therapy that includes zinc carnosine, in comparison to the traditional triple therapy for treating indigestion caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. In our study, 92 patients with symptoms of dyspepsia and positive breath tests were randomly assigned to receive either the conventional treatment of esomeprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin for 14 days, or a shorter 10-day course of the new therapy that also included bismuth subcitrate and zinc carnosine.

The results were quite revealing. Our findings showed that the modified bismuth quadruple therapy group had a significantly higher eradication rate of 93.5%, compared to 69.6% in the standard treatment group. This suggests that the addition of zinc carnosine to the treatment regimen could enhance the effectiveness of indigestion relief. Importantly, the side effects reported between the two groups were similar, with only mild dizziness noted in those receiving the new therapy.

Overall, the study indicates that a shorter course of therapy that includes zinc carnosine may be a superior option for individuals suffering from indigestion related to Helicobacter pylori. This approach not only appears to work better but also does not lead to more serious side effects, making it an appealing alternative to traditional treatment methods.

Unfortunately, this zinc did not work for me; it caused severe abdominal pain and indigestion. I had to stop taking it.

A good helper in improving skin and hair, I am satisfied with this zinc option. After a disappointing experience with zinc sulfate (indigestion, nausea), I was pleased to find that I had no discomfort with this chelate form, provided I took it after meals. On two occasions I neglected to eat first and felt a bit nauseous, but I quickly adjusted. My goal is to enhance my skin and hair condition, and while it’s too early to assess the success, it certainly hasn’t worsened.

It helps at the first sign of a cold and truly works. I take one tablet three times a day, but only after meals; otherwise, indigestion is guaranteed. I also experience frequent stomach aches.
