FDgard 24 Count

Persistent or Recurring Indigestion? It may not be just heartburn, it could be Functional Dyspepsia (FD). Introducing nonprescription FDgard, a medical food specially formulated for the dietary management of FD. FD symptoms are in the upper belly and include pain, discomfort, early fullness with meals, nausea, bloating and belching. FDgard Helps Normalize the Natural Rhythm of the Digestive System. FD (persistent or recurring indigestion with no known organic cause) is a relatively common and often frustrating condition. It is a disorder of sensation and movement in the organs of the upper digestive tract where the normal downward pumping and squeezing is altered, and the digestion and absorption of food nutrients is affected. Functional Dyspepsia often reoccurs over time. Most doctors are not sure what causes FD. In the absence of a known organic cause, it is thought that the function of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum) may be altered in some way, which can disturb the movement, digestion and absorption of food. FD occurs in the upper belly above the naval. In FD, the stomach does not expand normally in response to a meal, which means the food eaten backs up in the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine. FDgard is a medical food specially formulated for the dietary management of functional dyspepsia. The combination of caraway oil and peppermint oil (primary ingredient: l-Menthol) has been shown in several clinical studies* to be effective in helping manage FD. FDgard capsules deliver individually triple-coated, targeted-release, solid-state microspheres of caraway oil and l-Menthol quickly and reliably where they are needed most in FD - the upper belly. In addition to caraway oil and l-Menthol, FDgard also provides fiber and protein.
