Elcid Antacid Range: Syrup and Capsules for Digestive Relief
Elcid is Elzac Herbals’ Ayurvedic formulation designed to alleviate acidity, heartburn, gas and constipation. The range includes a sugar‑free syrup and capsules. Both versions combine classic digestive herbs to neutralize excess stomach acid, promote healthy digestion and restore bowel regularity. A trusted Ayurvedic blog notes that Elcid Syrup combines Saunf (fennel) with other ingredients to soothe the digestive system and promote overall digestive health[1].
Key ingredients and their benefits
Elcid Syrup and Capsules share a core set of herbs. Proportions and herbs may vary between syrup and capsule, but the actions remain similar.

Ingredient |
Evidence‑based benefits |
|
Amla (Indian gooseberry) |
Amla is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Animal studies show amla juice can enhance liver health, improve metabolism and prevent fatty liver disease[2]. It also supports digestion by reducing GERD symptoms and diarrhea[2]. |
|
Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) |
Haritaki is a rejuvenating fruit high in vitamin C, flavonoids and antioxidants. It is traditionally used to relieve constipation, gas and bloating, support detoxification and improve digestion[3]. |
|
Fennel (Saunf) |
Fennel seeds are a well‑known digestive aid. Research suggests they reduce gas and bloating due to their anti‑inflammatory and fiber content, relax gastrointestinal muscles and have antimicrobial properties[4][5][6]. |
|
Pippali (long pepper) |
Pippali contains piperine, which stimulates digestive fire, kills parasites and reduces swelling[7]. In Ayurveda it enhances the absorption of other herbs and improves respiratory health[8]. |
|
Baheda (Terminalia bellirica) |
The fruit of Terminalia bellirica contains chemicals that may affect digestion and protect the liver[9]. It is traditionally used for constipation, cough, diarrhea and high cholesterol[10], although scientific evidence is limited. |
|
Other herbs (Chitrak, Agar Agar, Ajwain etc.) |
Elcid formulations often include digestive stimulants like Chitrak (Plumbago zeylanica) and soothing agents such as Agar Agar (natural gelatin). Ajwain (carom seeds) provides antimicrobial and carminative properties and helps relieve indigestion and gas[12][13]. |
Forms and dosage
Elcid Syrup (200 ml): Typically taken 2 teaspoons (10 ml) twice daily after meals, or as directed by an Ayurvedic practitioner. The syrup base provides relief by coating the stomach lining and neutralizing acid.
Elcid Capsules (30 caps): Usually 1 – 2 capsules twice daily with water after meals. Capsules offer convenience for those who prefer a pill over liquid.
Dosage may vary depending on age, severity and individual constitution. Always follow the product label or consult a healthcare professional.
The combined action of these herbs aims to:
Neutralize excess acid: Amla and baheda provide mild astringency and anti‑ulcer properties, helping to reduce hyperacidity[14].
Relieve gas and bloating: Fennel and ajwain relax digestive muscles and help expel gas[5][12].
Improve digestion and metabolism: Haritaki and Pippali stimulate digestive enzymes, enhance nutrient absorption and support detoxification[3][7].
Support liver function: Amla and baheda offer antioxidant effects that protect the liver and improve metabolic health[2][9].
Restore bowel regularity: The laxative and fiber content of haritaki and fennel help relieve constipation[3].
Blood sugar monitoring: Terminalia bellirica may lower blood sugar; people with diabetes should monitor levels and consult their doctor[11].
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Safety of certain herbs (Baheda, Ajwain) during pregnancy is not well established; consult a healthcare provider.
Medication interactions: Ajwain and Pippali may interact with antacids, blood thinners or anti‑inflammatory drugs.
Allergies: Some individuals may have allergies to spices like fennel or Ajwain.
Conclusion
Elcid Syrup and Capsules blend digestive herbs like amla, haritaki, fennel, Pippali and baheda to provide a natural approach to managing acidity, gas and indigestion. Fennel’s gas‑relieving effect, haritaki’s detoxifying action and baheda’s liver‑protective properties work synergistically to soothe the gastrointestinal tract[5][3][14]. While generally safe, users should follow dosage instructions and consider medical advice, especially if pregnant, diabetic or taking other medications.
