We examined a combination product of carbonate antacids—specifically calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate—with an extract from Opuntia ficus-indica, commonly known as prickly pear. This study looked at how this product could potentially protect esophageal cells from damage caused by both acidic and non-acidic reflux.
Through a series of laboratory tests, we aimed to understand the effectiveness of the product in two ways: neutralizing stomach acid and protecting esophageal cells. The carbonate ingredients showed promising results in neutralizing acidity, which is a common complaint for those suffering from heartburn. However, while calcium’s role in this combination is significant, it isn't isolated; the extract from prickly pear also plays a crucial role in lowering inflammation triggered by bile acids.
Ultimately, we found that the combination product provided dual benefits, helping cells withstand both acidic conditions and irritation from bile acids. Yet, it's essential to note that we could not determine the isolated impact of calcium on reflux, as it works in tandem with other active ingredients. This insight encourages further exploration into the specific effects of calcium in reflux management.

We explored the effects of a multi-herbal Tibetan formula known as Cong zhi 6, which includes calcium carbonate, on individuals suffering from laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). Our focus was to understand whether calcium plays a role in alleviating reflux symptoms.
In our examination of ten patients who took Cong zhi 6, we observed significant improvements in both reflux symptoms as measured by the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and findings from laryngoscopy assessed via the Reflux Finding Score (RFS). While the results were promising, they did not isolate the specific impact of calcium.
Consequently, we cannot affirmatively state that calcium alone has a beneficial effect on reflux. The study indicated that LPR symptoms improved overall, but we remain uncertain about calcium's individual efficacy in this context. This highlights the need for further research to pinpoint the mechanisms at play in reducing reflux symptoms.

Tastes great. This fine powder is my favourite so far. Drinking it with purified water has relieved my joint pain. I expected worsening with age but feel fantastic. I've also stopped my prescriptions for acid reflux; it's resolved, and I notice my throat healing. I didn't realise the need for healing until the clay eliminated my acid problem. I’ve been using it for four weeks now. Previously, I would feel dizzy from my reflux medication, but now I can’t stop sharing my improvement with others.

This clay works brilliantly for reflux! I bought it to treat my reflux naturally after three years on Prilosec. Previously, when I attempted to stop the meds, I felt ill and in pain within days. However, I've been consuming clay water for almost a week and haven’t taken Prilosec! It has worked wonders! Each morning, I have two tablespoons of clay water before my workout, and most days, I’ve not needed a second dose. I recommend this clay to anyone suffering from chronic heartburn or acid reflux. It also works wonders on bumps and bruises!

Fantastic product! So many people should know about this. After suffering from ulcers in my twenties and dealing with acid reflux for years, I’m finally off the medications. I've been drinking this product and am thrilled with how I feel. It truly works! I notice a difference if I miss a day. Fantastic product – more people need to know about its healing properties!
