Frutarom Position Fenulife to Address Heartburn

07/02/07 According to European researchers, heartburn (also known as acid reflux) occurs in one out of every ten adults. The incidence of heartburn is spread across the entire population, but more than 50 percent of incidences are reported by men and women in the age-bracket of 45- 64 years according the Journal of Ethnopharmacology.

This common problem results when acid released by the stomach seeps back into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation. This condition often is exacerbated by eating fatty foods, chocolate, peppermint, alcohol, caffeinated drinks, citrus juices and carbonated beverages.

The current available treatments for heartburn are H2 blockers, proton pump inhibitors and antacids which are either associated with side effects such as dizziness, headache and diarrhea or are only effective for relieving minor symptoms of acid reflux. 

Frutarom is positioning FenuLife as providing a natural and safe alternative for treating acid reflux (patent pending). FenuLife is a branded ingredient, clinically proven to slow carb absorption. People who have taken FenuLife to help balance sugar absorption have reported added relief from heartburn. The natural fiber found in FenuLife may coat the stomach wall during the digestion process, serving as a barrier against harmful stomach acid and thereby inhibiting excess acid production.
