NOW Foods Acid Relief with Enzymes - 60 Chewable Tablets

Now Foods, Acid Relief With Enzymes, 60 Chewables

The use of calcium carbonate for the relief of occasional heartburn has long been well-known. Calcium carbonate works by neutralizing the acid produced in the stomach. However, when used alone, it can slow down digestion because the enzymes secreted by the stomach work best in an acidic pH. Acid Relief with Enzymes combines calcium carbonate with digestive enzymes to support complete digestion of food even in cases of reduced stomach acidity.

NOW® Acid Relief with Enzymes provides fast relief from occasional digestive discomfort while providing digestive enzymes in a tasty chewable tablet.

Suggested Use

Chew 1-2 tablets daily as needed.
