We explored the impact of a new treatment, Marial®, on patients suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In a large survey involving 56 gastroenterological offices across Italy, patients were treated with either proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a combination of PPIs and an additional remedy, or the Marial® formulation containing magnesium alginate. The results showed that both Marial® and the combination therapy significantly reduced heartburn symptoms, with Marial® proving to be more effective than the combination. Overall, patients reported a marked improvement in their GERD-related symptoms.

GutGard® shows promise for heartburn
In a well-designed phase III trial, we explored how GutGard®, a licorice extract, helps relieve heartburn related to gastroesophageal reflux. Over 28 days, participants were randomly assigned to receive either GutGard® or a placebo without knowing which one they had.
Remarkably, those taking GutGard® reported quicker relief from their GER symptoms, particularly heartburn, compared to those on the placebo. This suggests that GutGard® may offer an effective, safe option for managing heartburn symptoms.

Rapid relief, similar effectiveness observed
We conducted a study to see how well a fixed-dose combination of esomeprazole and magnesium hydroxide works for heartburn compared to enteric-coated esomeprazole. By using a crossover design, forty-nine healthy subjects received each treatment, allowing us to closely observe the effects.
Our findings showed that the combination drug reached maximum concentration faster and achieved gastric pH levels that suggest quicker acid suppression. Despite these advantages, the overall effectiveness in reducing gastric acidity was similar for both treatments. This indicates that while magnesium may enhance the speed of relief, it doesn't significantly outperform traditional esomeprazole.

Highly effective pills
20 people found this helpful
Tiny little pills that really work – and very easy to swallow. I received a sample of these. Recently, I've faced a lot of stress, including putting down my 15½-year-old dog, but I can eat anything, even heavy comfort foods that usually cause heartburn, without any issues. Even when I miss a day, I feel it works longer than 24 hours. Nexium 24HR ClearMinis has outperformed any other antacid I've tried, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone suffering from frequent moderate to severe heartburn.

The best heartburn medicine! I suffer from severe heartburn daily. After trying numerous medications with no success, I decided to try Nexium clear minis, and I’m grateful I did! I took two pills with water at the onset of symptoms, and within 20 minutes, my heartburn disappeared. It’s been days since I took them, and I feel fantastic! I highly recommend this product!

Pregnancy relief

Thank goodness for these during my pregnancy! I’ve always had terrible heartburn while pregnant, but my doctor suggested trying this instead of multiple Pepcid ACs. It started working on the first day, and I haven’t had heartburn since. Now, I take it daily with my prenatal vitamins. Problem solved!

We investigated how different types of mineral waters might assist in treating patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Ninety patients were split into three groups: a control group receiving standard treatment, one group drinking boric sodium bicarbonate water, and another consuming highly mineralized sodium-magnesium water.
While basic treatment showed little effectiveness, the boric water alleviated some symptoms, and the magnesium water notably improved dyspepsia and liver function. Overall, our findings support the use of mineral waters as part of a comprehensive GERD treatment plan.

We investigated the effectiveness of dietary changes and natural remedies in treating gastrointestinal symptoms in a 73-year-old woman with newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease. The patient faced constipation and acid reflux after starting medication. By increasing her vegetable intake, fiber, protein, and hydration while reducing sugars, she saw improvements in her symptoms. Notably, integrating apple cider vinegar, deglycyrrhizinated licorice, probiotics, and magnesium citrate helped alleviate her acid reflux significantly—50% improvement within just five days. Ultimately, she achieved complete symptom resolution in one month, highlighting the promise of diet and natural treatments.
