Benefits

For quick relief from occasional heartburn and acid indigestion, Equate Antacid Ultra Strength offers a reliable solution. Each chewable tablet not only neutralises stomach acid on contact but also provides a convenient source of calcium. The refreshing peppermint flavour makes it a pleasant choice for those seeking fast digestive comfort without the need for water.

Key Ingredients

Calcium Carbonate USP 1000 mg: This naturally occurring mineral works by elevating the pH of stomach acid, offering ultra-strength neutralisation. Additionally, it supplies elemental calcium that supports bone health as part of a balanced diet. Peppermint flavour: Adds a refreshing taste without an artificial aftertaste.

How It Works

Upon chewing, calcium carbonate dissolves and reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach, forming calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water. This reaction rapidly reduces acidity, alleviating the burning sensation and discomfort associated with heartburn and sour stomach within minutes.
