Gut Health Startup, Terra Health Essentials, Takes On PPI Industry

Colorado-based gut health startup, Terra Health Essentials is rewriting the rulebook on what we know about acid reflux. Approximately 15 million Americans take PPIs to deal with GERD, Acid Reflux, and Chronic Heartburn. PPIs work by blocking stomach acid production. But Terra Health says this is the exact opposite approach you should be taking.

“PPIs work by preventing acid production so that there is nothing to ‘reflux’ back up into the esophagus. This is like getting a shot of Novocaine for a tooth cavity. It can blunt the pain for a while, but if the cavity isn’t treated, the pain comes right back as soon as the Novocaine wears off. It’s the same with acid reflux. If you don’t fix what’s causing the problems, your symptoms will keep coming back.”

While the pharmaceuticals industry continues to push PPIs that reduce stomach acid, Terra Health says that it is actually the opposite approach that many of us should be taking.

“What often gets overlooked, is that low stomach acidity can actually lead to issues far worse than the original problem. We believe in treating these conditions at their root cause, through promotion of healthy digestion. The products that we’ve developed are not a ‘cure all’ for every condition, but most of our clients are able to get the extra boost needed to get their digestive systems back on track.”

10 years from now, will we be seeing Terra Health products taking over the likes of OTC PPIs and Acid Blocking medications? Only time will tell. But they make a compelling case for their methods of natural treatment options.
