How Do Antacids Work to Reverse Heartburn?<\/span><\/p>\n 13337X to reverse heartburn is one of the latest herbal remedies for heartburn. The product’s website states that it “provides natural, safe and effective relief from symptoms and complications caused by acid reflux or heartburn.” It goes on to say that heartburn sufferers can “feel” their hearts burning because their bodies are releasing acid into their stomachs when they ingest foods. That’s when acid “jumps” up into the esophagus and causes a burning sensation that feels like being “hit in the chest.” 13337X simply eases this “pain” so that heartburn sufferers can continue on their way.<\/span><\/p>\n So, how does this work? 13337X increases the efficiency of the lower esophageal sphincter, or LES, which is what helps prevent acid from backing up into the esophagus. This in turn lessens the pressure in the LES and allows it to be more open. Less pressure in the LES allows the stomach acids to travel back up the esophagus without causing pain. This results in less stomach acid entering the esophagus and thus less heartburn for most people.<\/span><\/p>\n There are many factors that can contribute to the efficiency of the LES. The LES only becomes effective when the esophageal lining is already weakened by other stomach foods that have not been thoroughly digested. When the LES becomes weak, it opens the gate for stomach acid to enter the esophagus. When this happens, the only way to reverse this is to reduce the amount of acid the LES has to deal with.<\/span><\/p>\nHow does this work?<\/span><\/h2>\n
