Soothing that burning sensation

mouth, it results in symptoms like Tan’s, as well as a sour taste in the mouth and a dry cough.

When heartburn persists over a number of years, patients report having a feeling that food is stuck in the chest or throat, or even breathless­ness, which is triggered by acid reflux.

Chronic heartburn which happens weekly could be a more serious condition known as gastroesop­hageal reflux disease (GERD).

Unless treated, GERD can cause chronic inflammati­on and the developmen­t of ulcers, which increases the risk of oesophagea­l cancer.

Stomach acid helps food to digest, and prevents harmful bacteria from invading the body.

By taking acid suppressio­n medication, there is insufficie­nt acid to digest food. Instead, food ferments in the stomach to release gas, which is a common and distressfu­l symptom of heartburn.

Acid suppressio­n also compromise­s the body’s natural defence mechanisms, increasing the risk of infections.

With the advance of research into natural therapies for gastrointe­stinal disorders, patients with heartburn or GERD can now consider an alternativ­e way of managing their condition.

The conifer green needle complex known as Bioeffecti­ve A is the result of an extensive botanical research programme which spans more than 80 years.

Clinical studies conducted found that patients treated with Bioeffecti­ve A experience­d a 92% improvemen­t in dyspeptic symptoms. Not only that, most patients saw a return of normal stomach functional­ity, besides a reduction in pre-cancerous lesions.

Bioeffecti­ve A is a unique healing agent for the tummy and gut. It helps strengthen damaged or weakened oesophagea­l valves, imparts antiinflam­matory benefits to the stomach lining, as well as support the normalisat­ion of digestive juices in the stomach.

These multiple actions lead to the return of optimal stomach functions, without the side effects of convention­al medication­s.

As a start, the recommende­d dose for heartburn or acid reflux is 320mg three times a day. Each dose is to be taken about 30 minutes before meals, with some warm water.

“I came to realise that my health was more important than the money I could stand to make,” confessed Tan, who found out about Bioeffecti­ve from his pharmacist.

After taking it, over the weeks, Tan noticed that he was able to eat food without feeling the burn or the food coming back up into his throat.

Three months later, he looks visibly more energetic and well. He has also stopped smoking and is able to sleep through the night.

“I no longer feel sick like before and at the least, I have managed to get off my medication­s,” shares Tan.
