Product Description
Alocid has been designed with traditional nutrients known
to support digestion and reduce GI inflammation, thereby limiting the
excessive reflux experienced by patients suffering from Acid Reflux Disease.
A timely response is vital when dealing with your reflux condition. Addressing
both the severity and frequency of your Acid Reflux symptoms with Alocid
may reduce the presence of condition complications.
Today, 36-44% (60 million) of Americans suffer from recurrent heart burn,
or heart burn that occurs at least once a month, and 7% (25 million) have
gastroesophageal symptoms daily. Of these percentages, 2 out of 10 individuals
within the adult populous has or will suffer from Gastroesophageal Reflux
Disease (GERD), or Acid Reflux Disease. This finding may prove insignificant
to some, but for those suffering from acid reflux, it can be a reassuring
statistic as acid reflux is a condition which requires modifications of
both diet and lifestyle.
Heartburn is the most common symptom associated with GERD. However, other
complications may occur, such as esophageal inflammation, dysphagia, and
oral abnormalities, and can become potentially life threatening. Although
the diagnosis and treatment of GERD in today's clinical settings is extremely
accurate, most sufferers will present symptoms for years without seeking
medical intervention. This procrastination often proves detrimental.
When persons with acid reflux ignore the condition, either because of
fear, scheduling concerns, or laziness, potential precursors to more serious
diseases are missed. Taking steps to ensure the health and integrity of
the digestive tract is critical for not only a remission of symptoms,
but for avoiding any future health concerns. Alocid effectively addresses
GERD symptom prevention; minimizing the inhibition to intrinsic mucosal
defense mechanisms and limiting the most uncomfortable of symptoms, including
heartburn.
Alocid Ingredients
Orange Peel Extract 4:1- Orange peel can provide symptomatic relief from
reflux and indigestion. Extracts should be standardized to contain a minimum
of 98% of d-limonene. Citrus peel extracts have even shown the ability
to induce programmed cell death in stomach cancer cells (1). Orange and
citrus peel extracts may also play a role in preventing stomach cancer
and precancerous lesions in the colon (2,3).
Aloe Vera Extract Powder 100X- Aloe vera extract has been used for years
to aid in digestion and has a documented history of clinical use for the
treatment of ulcers in the digestive tract (4). This soothing plant is
considered to be a gastroprotective agent, containing anti-inflammatory
fatty acids. Extracts of aloe can reduce secretion of acid from the stomach
(functioning similarly to antacid medications), and can actually prevent
injury to the lining of the stomach from irritating substances (5). Aloe
can also increase the secretion of pepsin, a digestive enzyme aiding the
breakdown of proteins (6).
Picrorhiza- This medicinal plant has a long tradition of use for indigestion
in Ayurvedic medicine (7). Picrorhiza acts similarly to other 'digestive
tonic' herbs by assisting digestion. Research has shown that as many as
6 compounds in Picrorhiza have anti-inflammatory activity, inhibiting
the COX-2 enzyme (8). This is useful for patients with chronic inflammation
in the digestive tract from maldigestion. Furthermore, the main constituents
in Picrorhiza can prevent damage from liver toxicity (9).
Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL)- Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL)
is licorice with the glycyrrhetinic acid removed for safety reasons (otherwise
could cause high blood pressure, water retention and low potassium levels).
Licorice has potent anti-inflammatory activity, due to its effects on
cortisol production from the adrenal glands, the body's natural source
of anti-inflammatory hormone (10). Extracts of licorice have demonstrated
the ability to accelerate the healing of gastrointestinal ulceration (especially
in the stomach and esophagus) possibly due to its antioxidant effect (11-13).
A clinical trial of 120 patients with functional dyspepsia who were given
an herbal preparation containing licorice showed significant improvements
in gastric complaints and, in 43% of patients, complete relief of symptoms
was observed (14).
Digestive Enzymes (Protease, Amylase, Lipase)- Digestive enzymes aid
digestion and help prevent heartburn. The primary digestive enzymes are
released from the pancreas: proteases (to digest protein), amylases (to
digest carbohydrate), and lipases (to digest fat). A double blind trial
of healthy volunteers given pancreatic enzymes prior to a high fat, high
caloric meal showed reductions in bloating, gas, and fullness during the
dinner to bedtime period (15). Research in animals with pancreatic failure
has also demonstrated the ability of digestive enzymes to eliminate dyspepsia/indigestion
(16). Evidence also shows that crude protein digestion is improved with
supplementation of pancreatic enzymes (17).
Alocid FAQs
What is GERD, or GORD, and is it related to my Acid Reflux?
GERD is Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, and is the same condition as
Acid Reflux Disease. It is just another term which denotes the diagnosis
of the reflux condition. The term is relatively new, approximately 20
years old, and is the preferred term for physicians today because it accurately
describes the problem: a backflow (reflux) of acid from the stomach into
the esophagus, which causes symptoms and potential damage. GORD is GERD.
To lessen the confusion, the formal spelling of esophagus in Britain is
oesophagus. Hence, GERD is GORD in many European Countries.
I've been having a lot of heartburn lately and I'm scared about
the effects of the acid on my digestive tract. Should I be concerned?
Because of the inconsistencies between heartburn and esophageal damage,
we recommend you consult with a physician immediately, to determine the
severity of your condition. As well, your symptoms may be related to uncomplicated
GERD, as opposed to complicated GERD, which prevents the severest of symptoms.
Generally, acid reflux can be injurious and ignoring this condition can
result in damage to the lining of the esophagus. This is important as
damage to the esophagus may cause severe inflammation (esophagitis), ulcers,
unexplained coughing and asthma, as well as strictures of the esophagus.
However, acid reflux, or GERD, can be controlled and treated with specific
lifestyle and dietary modifications, antacids, nutritional supplements,
and finally, prescription medications.
I have children and heard that they can get GERD. Is this true?
Most certainly. Although this condition is typically seen in persons
over 40 years of age, anyone can develop the symptoms associated with
Acid Reflux Disease (GERD), even infants. Many scientists have theorized
a genetic link with acid reflux; mainly because of inherited muscular
or structural problems in the esophagus or stomach.

resulting from the implementation of Progressive Health products into
existing treatment programs.
