Proton-pump inhibitors reduce the production of acid by blocking the enzyme in the wall of the stomach that produces acid. The reduction of acid prevents ulcers and allows any ulcers that exist in the esophagus, stomach and duodenum to heal.

Minimize the potential side effects of nutrient deficiencies by using NutraMD Antacid Essential-Nutrients supplements®.

PPIs (proton-pump inhibiotors) are used for the prevention and treatment of acid-related conditions such as ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. They also are used in combination with antibiotics for eradicating Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that together with acid causes ulcers of the stomach and duodenum. Depletion of Cobalamin (B12), calcium, zinc, and iron can occur.
