This aniseed-flavoured liquid can provide relief for symptoms that occur:

  • After meals
  • During pregnancy
  • When lying down
  • At night

Its active ingredients – sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonate – work together to neutralise stomach acid and create a soothing barrier.

As someone who suffers regularly with chronic heartburn (GERD) I have need of this often. This stuff neutralises in literally seconds, and thank goodness it's so easy to take (I love aniseed) because if the only other choice was the well known leading brand I would be in deep trouble as it makes me 'gip'. I hope the manufacturer doesn't stop making this, I don't know what I'd do!
