When researching on acid reflux, I came across info on this product on the site of the Life Extension Foundation:

http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-044b.shtml#cope
excerpts on "Digest RC":

The mechanism of action of the formula is to stimulate peristalsis of the intestines, speed digestion of fats, and prevent stagnation of food in the digestive tract.

Benefits to the user are a reduction in esophageal acid reflux, alleviation of the feeling of fullness and bloating after eating, decreased digestive tract tension, alkalization of the gastric content, constipation relief, and normalized elimination.

Independent clinical research was conducted on Digest RC to analyze the therapeutic effectiveness of the product among patients with chronic digestive problems.

Results showed statistically significant improvement in patients' symptoms during treatment.

Digest RC was most successful in eliminating the most frequently occurring symptom, gas, in more than 95% of the cases.

Symptoms such as constipation, intestinal pains and cramps, heartburn (reflux), and stomach pains and cramps decreased or were completely eliminated in more than 90% of the cases. Bloating ceased in more than 80%, diarrhea in about 75%, and nausea and vomiting in approximately 65% of the cases.

The only group of people who should avoid Digest RC are those with biliary tract obstruction or gallbladder disease because of the bile-stimulating effects of the black radish and artichoke extracts.

It is not known how this product would affect those who have had their gallbladder removed.
************************************************

The article says Digest RC has been used in Europe for 45 years. I suppose that's where the clinical research took place. It's only available here from a few places.

Has anyone tried it or know anyone who did? Any results, good or bad?

Thanks,
Sue G.
