Acid Reflux Protocol

Natural support for acid reflux and silent reflux that doesn't switch your stomach acid off.

Acid-blocking medications such as omeprazole or lansoprazole work by shutting down acid production. Antacids neutralise stomach acid for a short while. However, Toxaprevent Sachets is different. The sachets contain magnesium and calcium carbonate, which buffer acid on contact, and the active ingredient, MANC Zeolite Clinoptilolite, binds histamine and ammonium in the stomach, both linked to high and low stomach acid. Working from the mouth all the way to the stomach.

Key Benefits of The Acid Reflux Protocol

1. Binds histamine and ammonium: Toxaprevent binds histamine and ammonium, which contribute to high and low stomach acid. Toxaprevent binds these in the stomach and removes them from the body via the stool.
2. Strengthens the stomach barrier: Toxaprevent's intended purpose is to strengthen and support the stomach wall barrier by binding and removing histamine.
3. Buffers acid: Each sachet is preloaded with 420mg of calcium carbonate and 180mg of magnesium carbonate. This neutralises high stomach acid and protects the active ingredient from stomach acid, allowing it to work.
4. Timed for night-time reflux: Easy-to-follow protocol: you take Toxaprevent 2 hours after your final meal, allowing it to work when reflux typically peaks, which is at night.
5. Doesn't switch acid production off: Your stomach needs acid for digestion, to breakdown food, absorb nurtients such as iron, B12 and magnesium. Toxaprevent doesn't stop this natural process.
6. Works alongside medication: Toxaprevent can be used alongside medication such as PPI's, antihistamines (H2 Blockers) and alginates. Leave a two-hour gap; take medication first.

Acid Reflux happens when stomach contents, acid and the digestive enzyme pepsin push back up past the valve at the top of the stomach (the lower oesophageal sphincter). In the oesophagus, this causes heartburn. When it reaches the throat and voice box, it's called laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) or silent reflux.

Toxaprevent Sachets work in two ways

1. Toxaprevent Zeolite binds histamine and ammonium: Histamine is one of the main chemical signals that switch on acid production; it's why H2-blocker medicines such as famotidine exist. MANC®, the zeolite in Toxaprevent, binds histamine and ammonium in the stomach contents and carries them out with digestion.
2. Calcium and magnesium carbonate: Calcium and magnesium carbonate react with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) and neutralise it, releasing water and carbon dioxide. It's the same ingredient used in many over-the-counter antacids such as rennie. Calcium and magnesium carbonate are added to the sachets to buffer the acid and prevent it from breaking the zeolite particle down.

The 90-day Acid Reflux health pack contains the following to support with heartburn:

• 3 x Toxaprevent Medi Plus Sachets (Targets Upper GI: Mouth, Oesophagus and Stomach) | 90 Sachets = 90-Day Supply (1 sachet daily)

Each Toxaprevent Sachet Contains:

1 x Toxaprevent Medi Plus Sachet contains 2400mg of MANC® particles (Modified Activated Natural Clinoptilolite) blended with 420mg calcium carbonate and 180mg magnesium carbonate.

What is MANC®?

MANC® stands for Modified Activated Natural Clinoptilolite. Clinoptilolite is a zeolite: a volcanic mineral formed when ash meets water, with a honeycomb structure full of channels. The structure carries a negative charge, which is why it attracts and holds positively charged compounds. Think of a magnet with south and north poles; the north attracts the south, and vice versa.

Raw zeolite varies enormously in purity and particle size. MANC® is purified, activated and milled to a controlled particle size (6 to 10 microns), works only in the gut and is not absorbed. It passes through the digestive tract, does its physical job and is not metabolised or broken down.

Why Toxaprevent is a medical device and not a food supplement

A food supplement is something that fixes a nutritional deficiency by adding key minerals or nutrients we are missing out on. However, Zeolites do not do this. They remove toxins from the body, but not all Zeolites are made the same.

Toxaprevent is classified as a class 2b medical device, and it has held this certification since 2006 because of its safety and quality standards. Toxaprevent is made under an independently audited medical-device quality system (ISO 13485 and 9001); it has a defined intended purpose, and the instructions for use in every box set out exactly how to take it. Its intended purpose is to strengthen the stomach and intestinal wall barrier under recurring strain, and it is particularly suited to situations where levels of ammonium, histamine or heavy metals such as lead and mercury are raised.

An easy-to-follow protocol: a sachet in the evening and another in the morning for faster support.

Toxaprevent binds and detoxifies histamine and ammonium from the stomach.

• Mix 1 x Toxaprevent Medi Plus sachet with 300ml of water and drink 2 hours after your evening meal.
  
• Optional: To feel the benefits more quickly, take another 1 x sachet in the morning, 1 hour before your first meal.

Toxaprevent is safe to use whilst fasting.

It's important to note that once Toxaprevent has mopped up the histamine and ammonium from the stomach, they cannot be released and will leave the body when you pass a bowel movement.
