We conducted a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial to evaluate how benesco™, a supplement containing quercetin, might help alleviate reflux symptoms. Our study involved 100 participants who were randomly assigned to receive either benesco™ or a placebo for six weeks.
The results showed that 39% of participants taking benesco™ experienced at least a 50% reduction in their reflux symptoms. However, this was not significantly different compared to the 47% success rate in the placebo group. Additionally, both groups reported a comparable number of reflux-free days and nights, offering no strong evidence that benesco™ is effective in treating reflux.
In conclusion, while we explored the potential of quercetin through benesco™, our findings indicate that it did not provide a significant benefit over the placebo. This suggests that those struggling with reflux might not find relief from this particular natural alternative.

What I received exceeded my expectations. I was not compensated for this review, just a regular person with issues I was unaware of. I purchased this hoping it would aid weight loss alongside resveratrol. My metabolism had slowed, my digestion was poor, and I faced acid reflux daily. Initially worried, I dismissed it as minor, thinking slippery elm would help. My stomach appeared as if I were pregnant, my energy was low, and my mood was down. I had tried other supplements that improved my energy and mood, but this one provided a fast, dramatic result. For the first time in years, I woke up able to suck in my stomach. No visible bloating and improved digestion, plus I feel energetic and well overall!

Effective for reflux
I purchased this for my mother in hopes of managing her IBS. The ingredients are very well formulated, and she found the capsule size acceptable. She loved it because it helped alleviate bloating, acid reflux, and heartburn. Quercetin is known as an antioxidant with anti-cancer properties and aids in fighting inflammation. I highly recommend it.

They’re okay, but they give me a terrible stomach ache, much like acid reflux. I had to stop using them, so I can’t comment on their actual effects. I've tried others that worked wonders for congestion, but this one has not been effective.

I believe it works, but it didn't suit me. I genuinely think this product is effective for some, but it caused unusual side effects for me. Each time I took it, my nose swelled alarmingly. Initially, I suspected illness, but it cleared once out of my system. Then I experienced severe acid reflux from it. I truly hoped it would work, but ultimately, it’s not for me.
