• H. pylori Support: Mastic gum inhibits Helicobacter pylori growth (linked to ulcers).
• Antioxidant Protection: Vitamin C combats oxidative stress in gastric tissues.
• Acid Balance: Maintains healthy pH for digestion while protecting mucosa.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How long does one bottle last?

At 2 tablets daily, a 60-count bottle lasts 30 days (1 month).

2. What makes Pepzin GI® unique?

It’s a patented chelated zinc-carnosine complex that selectively binds to ulcer sites, staying in the stomach up to 4 hours for targeted repair.

3. Can it replace PPIs (e.g., omeprazole)?

No. It supports healing but doesn’t suppress acid like PPIs. Use for mild-moderate issues; severe ulcers need medical care.

4. Does it kill H. pylori?

Partially. Mastic gum inhibits H. pylori growth but not a substitute for antibiotics. Combine with medical treatment.

5. How does this benefit Kenyan users?

• Dietary Relief: Counters irritation from spicy/acidic foods (e.g., nyama choma, citrus).
• H. pylori Prevalence: 80% of Kenyans carry H. pylori; this supports natural management.
• No Refrigeration: Stable in Kenya’s heat (tested up to 30°C).

6. Can I take it with antacids?

Yes, but space 2+ hours apart (antacids may alter zinc absorption).

7. Is it safe for diabetics?

Yes. No impact on blood sugar.

8. Will it interact with malaria meds?

Unlikely, but avoid with zinc-binding antimalarials (e.g., doxycycline). Consult a doctor.

Who Can Benefit?

• Adults with occasional heartburn, acid reflux, or gastritis.
• Individuals with H. pylori infection (adjunct to antibiotics).
• Those recovering from NSAID-induced ulcers (e.g., from long-term painkiller use).
• People seeking preventive gut support (e.g., high-stress lifestyles, spicy diets).
• Not for: Active bleeding ulcers or severe GERD (requires urgent medical care).
