Magnesium alginate offers heartburn relief
Emerging from gastroesophageal reflux (EMERGE): An Italian survey - II the viewpoint of the patient.
High relevance; promising findings
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
Efficacy and Safety of GutGard® in Managing Gastroesophageal Reflux-Related Symptoms: A Phase III, Single-Centre, Double-Blind, Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial.
Relevant study; positive findings
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
Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of a Fixed-Dose Combination of Esomeprazole and Magnesium Hydroxide Compared to the Enteric-Coated Esomeprazole.
Findings are moderately relevant
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.

Bad lot experience
I have taken this magnesium for years and been very satisfied. Recently, however, I had a dreadful experience with lot# 264292-05 EXP 03/2022. It was bitter and felt like it was burning my mouth, resulting in horrible heartburn afterward. I hope it was just this particular lot and not a sign of decline in product quality.

Causes heartburn
The pellets are rather large, making them difficult to consume, and can lead to heartburn and stomachaches.

Mineral waters aid GERD treatment
Application of mineral waters in the complex treatment of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Findings support mineral water use
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.

Dietary intervention for symptom relief
Naturopathic Treatment of Gastrointestinal Dysfunction in the Setting of Parkinson's Disease.
Research strongly supports dietary benefits
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.

Looking for alternatives
I experience heartburn when using this product, and the tablets are too large. However, it works reasonably well, and I am looking for another brand.
