Rennie Spearmint 48s contains antacid to neutralise excess stomach acid and works fast to relieve the symptoms of heartburn and indigestion. Rennie Spearmint tablets contain two naturally-occurring antacids called calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate which neutralise stomach acid by turning it in to water and other natural substances. They act directly in the oesophagus as well as in the stomach and are then eliminated by your body.
Stomach acid, or gastric acid, is a watery, colorless fluid that's produced by your stomach's lining. It's highly acidic and helps break down food for easier digestion. This helps your body absorb nutrients more easily as food moves through your digestive tract. Stomach acid encounters a lot of things on behalf of your body. It breaks down the foods you eat into easier-to-digest particles. It also acts as the first line of defense against pathogens and microbes that could make you sick.
Indigestion can be pain or discomfort in your upper abdomen (dyspepsia) or burning pain behind the breastbone (heartburn). Dyspepsia and heartburn may occur together or on their own. Symptoms usually appear soon after eating or drinking. Common associated symptoms include: feeling full or bloated.
