Nutralox® Mint Antacid - FAQs...
What are Antacids and Use?
Antacids are over-the-counter medications used to neutralize stomach acid and relieve symptoms associated with acid indigestion, heartburn, and acid reflux. These symptoms occur when the stomach produces excess acid or when acid flows back up into the esophagus (a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD). Antacids work by raising the pH level of the stomach, reducing acidity, and providing relief from the discomfort caused by excess stomach acid.
Symptoms Treated by Antacids
Antacids are commonly used to treat the following symptoms:
• Heartburn: A burning sensation in the chest or throat caused by acid reflux.
• Acid Indigestion (Dyspepsia): General discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen due to stomach acid.
• Acid Reflux: When stomach acid backs up into the esophagus, causing irritation or a sour taste in the mouth.
• Upset Stomach or Sour Stomach: Indigestion due to excess acid production.
• Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining, which can be aggravated by acid.
In addition to these symptoms, antacids are sometimes used as part of a treatment regimen for conditions like peptic ulcers or GERD, though more advanced treatments (such as proton pump inhibitors or H2 blockers) may be necessary for these conditions.
What is Nutralox Mint Antacid?

List of Nutralox Antacid Ingredients
Active Ingredient:
• Calcium Carbonate (420 mg): Calcium carbonate is a common antacid that works by neutralizing stomach acid. It’s often used in antacid formulations because it is effective at providing relief from symptoms of heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach. Additionally, calcium carbonate can help to provide a source of calcium in the diet.
Inactive Ingredients:
• Acacia Gum: A natural gum derived from the sap of the Acacia tree, often used as a binder or thickening agent in tablet formulations. It can also be used to help hold the tablet together.
• Mint Flavoring: Provides a pleasant, minty taste to the product, making it more palatable, especially in chewable tablets or liquid forms.
• Magnesium Stearate: A fatty acid compound used as a lubricant or binding agent in the manufacturing of tablets and capsules. It helps to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the machinery during production and ensures the tablets are uniform in shape and size.
• Maltodextrin: A carbohydrate used as a filler or stabilizer in tablet and powder formulations. It is often derived from starch and helps to maintain the texture or consistency of the product.
• Silicon Dioxide: Often used as an anti-caking agent, it prevents clumping and helps maintain the flowability of powdered or granular ingredients. In tablet formulations, it can help ensure that the ingredients mix evenly.
• Starch: Starch is commonly used as a filler or binder in tablets, helping to hold the other ingredients together and give the tablet its shape and size. It can also help with the consistency of the product.
• Sucrose: A form of sugar used as a sweetener, particularly in chewable tablets or liquids, to improve the taste of the product.
These inactive ingredients work together to give the Nutralox Antacid its texture, consistency, flavor, and stability, while the active ingredient, calcium carbonate, provides the therapeutic effect of neutralizing stomach acid.
