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. Orange and citrus peel extracts may also play a role
in preventing stomach cancer and precancerous lesions in the colon.
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. 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. Aloe can also increase the secretion of pepsin, a digestive
enzyme aiding the breakdown of proteins.
Picrorhiza- This medicinal plant has a long tradition of use for
indigestion in Ayurvedic medicine.. 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. 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.
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.
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. 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.
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. Research
in animals with pancreatic failure has also demonstrated the ability
of digestive enzymes to eliminate dyspepsia/indigestion. Evidence
also shows that crude protein digestion is improved with supplementation
of pancreatic enzymes.
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.
How soon can I expect to see results?
The results derived from Alocid are dependant on both the individual
and severity of condition. While a large number of customers yield
immediate results, others may see results in only a few short weeks.
Generally, we advise that you use the product continuously, for
a minimum of 45 - 60 days.
Are there any side effects when taking Alocid?
As with all nutritional supplements, there is potential for reaction.
Progressive Health ensures that all potential conflicts and side
effects are listed on the product information pages. However, we
strongly recommend consulting with your physician if you suffer
from any pre-existing conditions (other than acid reflux), known
allergies, or if you are currently taking any medications. Based
on customer feedback, order history, and regular product overview,
there has yet to be a report of any serious side effects resulting
from the implementation of Progressive Health products into existing
treatment programs.

for any reason, simply return all of your empty and unused bottles
of Alocid for a full refund (excluding shipping) within 180 days.
