What other benefits does Acid Redux provide in addition to treating GERD or acid reflux?

Acid ReDux Acid Reflux Supplement
There is emerging science concerning the alkaline condition of the body and possible benefits. If the lower esophageal sphincter is relaxed incorrectly it allows food and acid to enter the esophagus before this muscle closes. Acid Redux tablets are formulated to, not only reduce stomach acid, but also to pass through the stomach and dissolve in the upper intestine. Once there, they can reduce the acidity of all the body's electrolytes (first the blood, then the urine and other fluids).

How does Acid ReDux work in the stomach to provide relief and what are the mechanisms of reaction?

Acid ReDux Acid Reflux Supplement
Acid Redux influences the gastrointestinal (GI) smooth muscle, mucosa and blood vessels by buffering acidic secretions that irritate the GI and cause symptoms described as GERD or acid reflux. Acid Redux contains H+ (positive hydrogen) ions in combination with calcium, magnesium and potassium. This combination allows the calcium, magnesium and potassium to be more effective in neutralizing acid that cause irritation, restores oxygen to the blood and soothes irritated tissues.

Is Acid Redux? as effective in buffering hydrochloric acid as some other over the counter products?

Pro Plus FAQ's
Laboratory testing comparing Acid Redux? to four major over-the-counter brands of antacids has shown that Acid Redux? is faster acting in its ability to neutralize a hydrochloric acid solution of pH 2.20. Its stronger "base nature" (alkalinity) initiates the buffering effect on the H+ ions (positive hydrogen),allowing the neutralizing effect to react quickly and over a longer period of time for extended relief. No,Acid Redux? is not a proton or gastric acid pump inhibitor.

What are neutralizing antibodies?

avonex
The body's immune system can develop an immune response to foreign substances such as viruses, bacteria, and an injected medication. This results in the production of antibodies whose only job is to label a specific foreign substance for destruction by the immune system. Sometimes man-made interferon beta is recognized as a foreign substance. If this happens, antibodies can latch onto the interferon key and not allow it to fit into the receptor.

What are antibodies? What are neutralizing antibodies?

avonex
Antibodies are molecules that the body can make as part of its normal defense (the immune system) against foreign bodies, such as viruses. For example, when a person is infected with the flu, their body makes antibodies against the flu virus (this takes a few days) and eventually these antibodies help to defeat the virus. When a person gets vaccinated against flu, the doctor is simply injecting an inactive form of the flu virus.

What should I do if I develop Neutralizing Antibodies?

avonex
Your doctor is the best person to make recommendations about what to do if you develop neutralizing antibodies to a medication. Every person responds differently to medications and it is important for you to speak with your doctor about your unique case.
Related Questions

Why do Neutralizing Antibodies develop?

avonex
As part of the immune system, our body is able to distinguish between what is made internally and what is introduced, such as viruses or medication. In the case of medication molecules there is a potential for the body to recognize the medication molecule as a foreign rather than something that is made by your body. Whether or not you develop neutralizing antibodies to the medication is dependent upon your body and the molecule you are taking.
Related Questions

What are the effects of Neutralizing Antibodies?

avonex
Neutralizing antibodies are a type of antibody that 'neutralizes' the activity of a foreign molecule that the body thinks is foreign. Therefore, if your body makes neutralizing antibodies against a molecule you are taking, the neutralizing antibody may prevent the medication molecule from reaching its target. With some drugs, neutralizing activity reduces the therapeutic effect. The clinical significance of neutralizing antibodies to interferons in MS is unknown.

I have acid reflux and burped during the breath test. Does that have an effect on the results?

The Capetti Group
Acid reflux is a much more prevalent problem than most people realize. It becomes especially problematic in the DUII context. Acid reflux is a condition by which the acid in the stomach as eroded the sphincter valve at the end of the esophagus to the point that the esophagus, larynx, throat, and mouth are exposed to the contents of the stomach. This includes all the gases produced by the stomach.

What's an acid mantle?

answers to frequently asked questions about skin care
Our bodies have a natural covering called the acid mantle. It's composed of fatty acids from our perspiration and amino acids from our skin tissue. This acid mantle fights infection from bacteria that gather on the skin. The pH factor is a measurement of the percentage of hydrogen ions in the acid. The pH scale runs from 0 to 14, with 7 the the neutral point. Strong Skin Savvy Mist and Cream helps protect the acid mantle.
