Natural Antacid and Digestive Relief: The Science behind Gasovit, Elcid and Carom Seeds
Digestive discomfort and acid reflux
Indigestion, gas and heartburn are common gastrointestinal complaints. Elzac Herbals offers syrups such as Gasovit and Elcid that contain antacid herbs and extracts (like Ajwain (carom seeds), Adraka (Zingiber officinale Roscoe), Pudina (Arvensis Linn), Trikatu, Saunf (Foeniculum vulgare Mill) etc.). Ajwain (carom seeds) is a key digestive herb used in many Indian remedies.
Carom seeds and digestive health
Healthline’s nutrition article highlights several benefits of carom seeds:
Combats ulcers and indigestion: Carom seeds are used in Ayurvedic medicine to relieve digestive issues. Animal studies show that carom seed extract can improve peptic ulcers and may help treat gas and chronic indigestion[1]. The seeds may accelerate gastric emptying, thereby reducing discomfort[2].
Anti‑inflammatory and antibacterial: Carom seeds contain thymol and carvacrol, compounds with antibacterial and antifungal properties[3]. They exhibit anti‑inflammatory effects in animal models[4].
May relieve cough and improve airflow: Preliminary research suggests that carom seed extract may reduce coughing and improve airflow in asthma patients[5].
How Gasovit and Elcid may work?
These syrups combine natural antacid compounds to neutralize stomach acid with herbal carminatives like ajwain, saunf (fennel) and pudina (mint) to:
Reduce gas and bloating by relaxing intestinal muscles.
Accelerate digestion and improve stomach emptying.
Neutralize excess acidity, providing relief from heartburn.
For indigestion, 10–15 ml of the syrup after meals is typically recommended. According to Healthline, carom seeds are safe for most people but should be avoided during pregnancy due to potential toxicity[6]. Large doses may cause nausea or interact with medications; always follow dosage instructions.
Gasovit and Elcid harness the digestive benefits of carom seeds and other herbs alongside natural antacid minerals to offer natural relief from gas and acidity. Scientific evidence shows that ajwain may combat peptic ulcers, relieve indigestion and provide anti‑inflammatory effects[1], supporting the traditional use of these formulations.
