Food supplement useful in cases of gastric acidity and gastroesophageal reflux.
Indications
Sineacid is a supplement indicated in cases of gastroesophageal reflux, gastric acidity, dyspepsia, heartburn, peptic ulcer, dysphagia, based on:
- Sodium Alginate and Acid
Sodium alginate, from a chemical point of view, is the sodium salt of alginic acid, a natural compound extracted from different types of brown algae (Laminaria and Fucus) with a mainly thickening and emulsifying function.
The active ingredient comes into contact with gastric acids, reacting with them and forming a gel having a nearly neutral pH.
This gel forms a barrier that prevents the reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus, providing relief from symptoms.
In the presence of particularly severe reflux, the gel barrier thus formed can be pushed into the esophagus in place of the gastric contents, where it can exert an emollient action.
The effect of sodium alginate lasts approximately 4 hours.
Why? For the barrier action of sodium alginate to be truly effective, the gelled alginate must position itself above the stomach contents to form a sort of "floating raft".
To promote buoyancy, sodium alginate is administered in a formulation with sodium bicarbonate. - Sodium Bicarbonate
Bicarbonate, when in contact with the hydrochloric acid present in the stomach, releases carbon dioxide.
The carbon dioxide incorporated into the alginic acid gel pushes it upwards, promoting its floating above the stomach contents and the consequent barrier effect.
In the absence of carbon dioxide, the alginate would tend to mix with the food and therefore pass into the intestine together with it.
The concentration of bicarbonate influences the consistency of the alginate gel. - Calcium Carbonate
Calcium carbonate is used as an antacid for the purpose of Relieves heartburn, indigestion, and other gastric problems.
It is an inorganic salt whose action is expressed by neutralizing gastric acids.
The resulting increase in pH blocks the action of pepsin, an enzyme that digests proteins in gastric juice. - Ficus Carica
Anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic, it combats abdominal swelling.
Its glycerine macerate acts on the nerve centers.
It decreases the production of gastrin, a hormone present in the gastric mucosa, responsible for secreting hydrochloric acid.
In phytotherapy, fig buds are used to produce a glycerine macerate that facilitates digestion and helps relieve pain caused by irritable bowel syndrome, hyperacidity, and gastritis.
This natural remedy acts directly on the stomach and is also effective for disorders caused by emotional factors and stress. or in the case of psychosomatic problems that affect the gastrointestinal level.
Regulator of the cortico-hypothalamic axis (excellent help in case of visceral somatizations). - Mallow Extract
Rich in mucilages, flavonoids, tannins, vitamins and minerals; Due to its properties, it is used as a remedy for irritation of the oral cavity, esophagus, and gastric and duodenal ulcers. - Althaea Extract
The mucilages give the plant emollient, protective, and soothing properties for the mucous membrane.
It has decongestant and antiseptic properties on soft tissues.
