My schedule has never been as hectic as it has for the past 3 months! Amidst growing the number of retailers for Little Baby Grains, I’ve also been busy organising pop-up stores for Petite Troopers and being more hands on with other tasks, which were otherwise delegated to others. A growing business, holiday season and 2 young children is otherwise known as a recipe for…
…GASTRIC.
I’ve been plagued by gastric since my college days. After a really horrific bout of gastric when I was 19, I have put in a lot more effort into ensuring my mealtimes are somewhat regular. Unfortunately after I started working, my gastric attacks would crop up every now and then and it wasn’t long before I realised that the gastric episodes weren’t just about irregular mealtimes, they were stress-related.
So, what did I do?
The usual. I took charcoal pills, and gastric medication prescribed by the GPs. After awhile, I stopped taking them altogether. I hardly felt any relief and when my gastritis was especially severe, I didn’t feel the efficacy of the medication.
After I became a mother, I am especially more careful about medication! I try to avoid medications as much as possible, even when I’m sick, due to the fact that I’m breastfeeding.
So last month, when I was prepping for my pop-up stores and struggling to manage even more than I usually did, it happened.
The gastric episodes.
I was too busy to care about eating and when the pain came, I knew it was too late. I was stressed, rushing against time and had reverted to my bad habits of irregular mealtimes, which was a perfect concoction for gastritis!
It was so bad that I almost thought I should try the gastric medications, but then, I learnt about NuvaPineA.
Have you heard of NuvaPineA?
Unlike most gastric medications, NuvaPine A contains the patented ingredient Bioeffective® A, which apparently, has been in use since the 1930s! Bioeffective® A, which is made in Australia, has a botanical research program in various different therapeutic areas, spanning the last 80 years.
While that sounds impressive, here’s the clincher.
Bioeffective® A is a pine conifer green needle extract, which means that it is a natural substance.
I’m all for natural ingredients over medication, if possible, but sometimes, natural treatments tend to have a lower efficacy. Impressively though, clinical studies found that patients treated with Bioeffective® A experienced a 92% improvement in gastrointestinal dyspeptic symptoms and GERD (acid reflux), including improvement of symptoms such as gastritis, gas and bowel disorders. Not only that, patients also experienced a return of normal stomach functionality besides a reduction in pre-cancerous lesions.
NuvaPineA® has been shown to be a powerful tummy healing agent. For gastritis sufferers, this pine green substance works by healing those areas of the tummy damaged by inflammation and injured by acid. When the stomach lining is nicely patched up, then gastritis is resolved. For those struggling with acid reflux problems, it is the valves guarding the opening of the stomach which are in trouble, letting out acid which is hurting the oesophagus. Here, NuvaPineA too helps heal and strengthen those gate keepers so acid stays where it is. These multiple actions lead to the return of optimal stomach functions without the side effects of conventional acid-blocking medications. (Source: NuvaPineA)
As a start the recommended dose for acid reflux patients is 320mg three times a day. Each dose is to be taken about 30 minutes before meals. (Source: NuvaPineA)
I was definitely more than happy to discover a natural and clinically proven alternative to medication for my gastritis!
Also do keep a look out for the double dose NuvaPineA box which offers greater convenience as you only need to take one capsule each time instead of the two capsules (NuvaPineA 160mg) I tried.
Thank you, Nuvapine, for kindly sponsoring this blog post!
