GastroAid®

  • Digestive balance and comfort
  • Breakdown of food and stomach acid
  • 5 botanicals for digestive comfort
  • 500mg chamomile with artichoke and fennel

What sets DRV+ apart

The stomach needs two things working together: hydrochloric acid to break food down, and enzymes to digest carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

GastroAid® provides both. Betaine HCl as a source of stomach acid (from beets, not synthetic), and the enzymes amylase (carbs), lipase (fats) and protease (proteins), so food gets digested. Plus 5 botanicals: chamomile for comfort, artichoke for digestive flow, amla berry for intestinal function, and fennel and caraway for wind.

KEY FEATURES

  • 250mg betaine HCl, a beet-derived source of stomach acid.
  • Amylase (15,000 SKB), lipase (2,000 LU), protease (10,000 HUT) for carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
  • 500mg chamomile flower extract for digestion.
  • 300mg artichoke leaf extract with 200mg amla berry for intestinal function.
  • 50mg fennel seed extract and 40mg caraway seed extract for fullness and wind.
  • 15mg bamboo silica, natural source of silica.

Still have questions?
We’ve got answers.

Can GastroAid® be taken with PPIs?

No. PPIs decrease acid in the stomach, whereas GastroAid® supports optimal acid levels. These 2 would be conflicting. We recommend your client seeks guidance from their GP or healthcare practitioner before use.

How long after stopping PPIs can my client take GastroAid®?

Your client can take GastroAid® straight away after they stop taking PPIs.

What products should my client take if they have been on PPIs long term?

If your client has been taking PPIs long term, we recommend taking a Daily Multi-Vitamin and probiotics like Gut Works®.

We provide high-quality dietary supplements and foods. We cannot give medical advice. We recommend your client seeks guidance from their GP or healthcare practitioner if there are any concerns using supplements along with PPIs.

Can my client take GastroAid® if they're pregnant?

No, there are some botanicals in GastroAid® that are not compatible with pregnancy. Therefore we do not recommend taking this product if your client is pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can my client take GastroAid® if they're on cancer medication?

This depends which one. We provide high-quality dietary supplements and foods. We cannot give medical advice. We recommend your client seeks guidance from their GP or healthcare practitioner if there are any concerns using supplements with cancer medication.

If my client can't swallow capsules, can they add GastroAid® into their food / drinks?

No, we do not recommend opening the capsule and adding it into food or drinks, as the ingredient Betaine HCl in GastroAid® may irritate the mouth and throat.
