OUR MISSION
Balance and Indulgence
Our mission is to create solutions to heartburn and acid reflux that actually fit into our lives the way we want to live them.
The Research
-
Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Omeprazole may increase the risk of kidney disease, bone fractures, and vitamin B12 deficiency. 1
-
Chronic use of H2 blockers like Pepcid can interfere with the absorption of key nutrients and has been linked to an increased risk of gastrointestinal infections. 2
-
Frequent use of antacids can lead to dependency and might cause an acid rebound effect, where stomach acid secretion significantly increases after stopping use. 3
-
Long-term antacid use can alter the natural pH of the stomach, potentially leading to digestive discomfort and imbalances in stomach bacteria.4
OUR STORY
It was never supposed
to be a business…
Acid Hero is the result of two lovers of food and wine who were sick of struggling with heartburn and acid reflux. Too many TUMS, too many OTC meds, too many prescriptions... we wanted a solution that worked for us and fit our lifestyles.
When we stumbled into one, we shared it with friends, and over and over, we kept hearing, “I wish I could just buy it.” Eventually enough was enough, and we decided to give it a try. After spending months developing and tweaking our recipes, Acid Hero is finally ready to share with the world.
