If you've been stuck on prescription drugs like rabeprazole, or find yourself often reaching for tums, pepto, rolaids, zantac, etc., then you owe it to your health to a) start eating better (d'uh) but also b) check out Glutagenics. I've never found a price as good as the $39 I see here on Amazon and I've used this product for two years now. I had taken rabeprazole for 4 years, then started seeing an ND who said to get off it as we need stomach acid to help digest food and get the enzymes and nutrition out of it.<br /><br />As soon as I got off it though, heartburn and acid reflux went nuts. It was painful, and you don't want to suffer through that for extended lengths of time because it can erode your esophagus and cause esophageal cancer or Barrett's Esophagus. Enter Glutagenics. After only a couple days my heartburn was gone. I was taking 1tsp in water in the morning and one at night. If you have bad GERD then you may wish to take 1tsp four times a day, one with each meal then one just before bedtime, for the first week until you notice symptoms subside completely.<br /><br />I changed to just an L-Glutamine powder because I found it to be much cheaper, but because I wasn't watching my diet and still eating a lot of animal protein, over-eating and drinking too much alcohol on the week-ends the symptoms returned. Turns out the L-Glutamine only gives you muscle relief (ie - the esophageal sphincter is a muscle) and strengthens your digestive tract, while your esophagus lining is coated by the licorice extract and aloe extract, so I was missing those two components. A return to the Glutagenics and I had my relief again.<br /><br />These days I try to consume substantially less animal protein, eat more vegetables thanks to the Vitamix blender I picked up, and I'm finding that even if I only take the Glutagenics a couple times a week I don't get return symptoms. If I'm going to barbecue up some slow smoked ribs on a week-end (rarity) and drink a little more than usual then I'll have a hit of the Glutagenics a few times in the day leading up to those meals/events.<br /><br />This is an amazing product, thank you Metagenics.

This is a invaluable supplement for anyone who has gut issues, immune issues, or allergy (histamine) issues. Unlike many of its counterparts, the aloe is debittered, which is crucial for those who are at all prone to getting the runs (sorry to be so crude). Of course, it is also valuable to those with high blood pressure that their licorice root is deglycerized. It is on the pricier side, but you can get some plain old L-glutamine to rotate with it if necessary.

Excellent! Natural product for irritatated GI system

Been taking this for about six weeks. Energy is more consistent and I feel less sluggish in the afternoons. Happy with the purchase.

Third-party tested, clean label. That's what I look for first. Actually works too, which is a bonus.

Switched from a more expensive brand and honestly can't tell the difference in results. Saves money.
