Natural EsophaGuard
10 softgels
Item Catalog Number: 00913

The gastrointestinal tract is a long muscular tube that functions as the food processor for the human body.The digestive system includes the following organs: the mouth and salivary glands, stomach, the small and large intestines, colon, liver, pancreas, and the gall bladder. The gastrointestinal tract is not a passive system; rather, it has the capability to sense and react to the materials that are passed through it. For a healthy digestive system, every person requires different food selections that match their gastrointestinal tract capacity.

Gastric distress poses far greater dangers than burning sensations. Constant regurgitation of harsh stomach acids, bile, and food from the stomach into the esophagus can damage the delicate lining of the esophagus and increase the risk of problems of the upper digestive tract.18-23

Natural EsophaGuard is a novel, all-natural solution for gastric distress. Its active ingredient, a standardized extract from orange peel known as d-limonene, has been shown to provide fast-acting, long-lasting relief from gastric distress. D-limonene is thought to coat the esophagus and guard against caustic stomach acid, while helping to reduce the amount of gastric juices regurgitated into the esophagus.24

In one study, 89 percent of participants reported resolution of gastric distress after taking one 1000-milligram gelcap of orange peel extract every other day.7 In a controlled, double-blind second phase of this study, 83 percent reported significant relief after two weeks of using orange peel extract.25 No adverse effects were reported, and some participants reported relief lasting up to six months.25.

Natural EsophaGuard does not contain potentially harmful compounds such as aluminum, nor does it impair the body’s absorption of critical nutrients such as calcium, or shut down the production of stomach acids needed for normal, healthy digestion.
