Helo-Acid: Product description
Helo-Acid are capsules for digestive problems caused by a lack of gastric juice, acid and enzymes in the stomach.
Helo-Acid: Effect
The effect of Helo-Acid is based on the digestive properties of organic fruit acids and lactic acids, and the digestive action of a gastric enzyme.
These perform the various functions of natural gastric juice, particularly the breakdown of food and the protection of the stomach. Furthermore, Helo-Acid can have a positive effect on the stomach’s own acid production.
Helo-Acid must not be taken in cases of hypersecretory irritable stomach or pyloric stenosis.
Helo-Acid: Uses and indications
To be taken orally with liquid at mealtimes to aid digestion in cases of low stomach acid and insufficient fermentation. It is best to take 1 capsule in the morning, 2 capsules at lunchtime and 2 capsules in the evening, without removing the capsule shell.
Helo-Acid: Ingredients
Citric acid, tartaric acid, calcium lactate, pepsin, bulking agent: microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, separating agent: magnesium salts of fatty acids, glazing agent: hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, glazing agent: hydroxypropyl cellulose, separating agent: calcium carbonate, medium-chain triglycerides
One tablet contains 120mg citric acid, 100mg tartaric acid and 8.2mg pepsin.
The total acid content of one tablet of Helo-Acid is approximately equivalent to 34ml of 0.1 N-HCl.
Do not simultaneously use so-called "base powders", as this can reduce the effectiveness of Helo-Acid.

Good to know
What are the causes of low stomach acid?
Causes of low stomach acid (achylia) can include surgical procedures, advancing age, chronic gastritis, stress or the long-term use of acid-suppressing medication.
What are the symptoms of low stomach acid?
Stomach acid is often mistakenly associated with negative side effects. In fact, the stomach acid produced by the stomach lining plays a vital role in breaking down food and releasing all nutrients, such as trace elements and vitamins. Furthermore, the acidity kills off most of the unwanted bacteria present in food.
It is not only too much stomach acid, but also a lack of it, that can cause unpleasant symptoms: digestive problems, flatulence, deficiency symptoms (e.g. of vitamin B12), a feeling of fullness and pressure in the stomach.
