Zinc's role in heartburn relief
Esophageal ulcer related to zinc deficiency following a total gastrectomy.
Direct impact on heartburn symptoms
We investigated how zinc affects heartburn through the case of a 76-year-old Japanese man who experienced significant discomfort after undergoing a total gastrectomy. For two weeks, he suffered from a sore throat, heartburn, and difficulty swallowing. Endoscopy revealed deep, craterlike ulcers in his esophagus, but tests for viral infections were negative.
After initial treatment, his symptoms returned, prompting further investigation. Eventually, we found that his serum zinc level was low at 38 µg/dL, which led to a diagnosis of zinc deficiency. Following oral zinc supplementation, the patient reported relief from his symptoms and a noticeable improvement in the esophageal ulcers observed during a follow-up endoscopy.
Over the five years since his treatment, the patient has continued to take zinc supplements and has not faced similar issues again. This case suggests that zinc can play a crucial role in treating heartburn issues related to ulcers, especially in those with a deficiency.

Severe heartburn reaction
I had a terrible reaction to this drug, hence the one star. While the quality may be good, it didn't suit me at all. From the very first day of use, I experienced hellish heartburn and significant digestive issues. I used it for three days, and after discontinuing, it took about a week for me to feel normal again. Be aware that the side effects related to zinc can be very pronounced, and a consultation with a doctor might be necessary. Thankfully, I managed to recover relatively easily, but it was a harrowing experience that I won't forget.

Relieved heartburn quickly
I took one tablet daily, along with Omega 3 and chelated magnesium from the same brand. After a month, I started feeling a heaviness in my stomach accompanied by heartburn. I ceased taking all supplements at once and soon after, my stomach condition returned to normal. I have no intention of taking these products again.
