As we eat, the stomach produces gastric acid to break down food for proper digestion. In order to prevent the gastric acid from coming in direct contact with the stomach or esophagus wall, cells on the stomach/esophagus wall secrete mucus, forming a protective lining. Nature’s Lining supports the cells that secrete mucus to maintain a protective barrier between gastric acid and the stomach tissue. Spicy foods, coffee, overeating, alcohol and smoking can add to gastric discomfort.
