GastroWiken is a dietary supplement useful for the physiological and natural control of grastric acidity and to reduce its symptomatology. The distinguishing feature of GastroWiken is that it does not just protect the gastric mucosa like many analogues, but acts physiologically on the natural mechanisms of gastric acidity control due to the presence of Banana extract (Musa x Paradisiaca), Licorice deglicirizinate ( does not increase blood pressure) and Lentisk. The active ingredients that perform active protection on the gastric mucosa are Calcium-Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Alginates and Sodium Bicarbonate.

 

SYMPTOMS of gastric hyperacidity are:

– Dull pain in the upper abdomen (up to and including the jaws)

– Nausea and vomiting

– Euctation or swelling

– Sense of full stomach after past

– Hypersalivation

– Decreased appetite and weight loss

– Insomnia

 

The average contents per 15-mL stickpack sachet are:

– Calcium Sodium Hyaluronate 70mg

– Banana e.g. 10mg

– Licorice deglicirizinated e.s. 100mg

– Lentisk 25mg

– Sodium Alginate 350mg

– Sodium Bicarbonate 40mg

 

SODIUM HYALURONATE is a glycosaminoglycan that protects the mucosa of the stomach and esophagus from hydrochloric acid in a mechanical manner.The high solubility in an aqueous environment is important to ensure tissue hydration while protecting it from tension and irritation.

 

BANANA plays an active role in controlling gastric acidity and regularizing digestive functions.

 

LIQUORICE EXTRACT as an anti-ulcerative is widely known and used in gastric and duodenal ulcers and as an adjunct in the treatment of spasmodic pain of chronic gastritis due to its anti-inflammatory saponins. In addition, licorice prolongs the life of stomach surface cells, with a demonstrated anti-pepsin effect. No side effects of deglicirizinated licorice are noted.

 

LENTISCO acts on digestive system function and intestinal transit regularity and is effective against Helicobacter pylori infections.

 

ALGINATES are assimilated to soluble fibers: in contact with the mucosa of the esophagus they have a mucoadhesive effect and in the presence of calcium they form a protective layer that reduces the rise into the esophagus of gastric acids.

 

SODIUM BICARBONATE in contact with gastric acids generates carbonic acid, which releases carbon dioxide gas that allows the alginate to float on the stomach contents promoting antireflux action. GastroWiken has an EXCELLENT TOLERABILITY PROFILE and can be combined with any drug therapy.

 

TOLERANCE PROFILE

GastroWiken is SAFE and DOES NOT HAVE the potential COLLATERAL EFFECTS of Proton Pump Inhibitors of a synthetic nature:

×Increased cardiovascular risk

×Bouncing acid hypersecretion.

×Reduced absorption of vitamin B12 and iron

×Reduction in Calcium absorption and increased risk of fractures.

×Increased risk of “Clostridium Difficile” infections.

×Increased risk of gastric fundus polyps and stomach cancer

×Increased risk of colon cancer.

×Reduced Magnesium Absorption.

 

GastroWiken is recommended in cases of.

– Digestive Difficulties

-Gastroesophageal Reflux

-Hyperacidity

-Gastric Burning Sensation

-Abdominal Pain

-Brucus of the Esophagus

 

METHOD OF USE AND POSOLOGY: Homogenize the gel by manipulating the sachet before opening. We recommend taking one or two sachets daily on an empty stomach 20 minutes after meals or before going to bed in cases of nocturnal gastro-oesophageal reflux
