Supports Gastro-esophageal Health
HCl-Ease provides highly effective, targeted nutritional support for gastroesophageal health.
The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a ring of muscle at the entrance to the stomach. When functioning normally, the LES closes as soon as food passes through it. With improper closure, stomach acid may move up into the esophagus, potentially resulting in signi cant discomfort, and even tissue damage.
