What are the best supplements for GERD (acid reflux)?

Research suggests that deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), melatonin, and alginate-based supplements may help manage GERD symptoms. DGL may help protect the esophageal and gastric lining, while melatonin has shown promise in reducing acid secretion. Slippery elm and aloe vera may also soothe esophageal irritation. These supplements are generally considered for mild GERD or as adjuncts to conventional treatment.

Can supplements alone manage GERD?

For mild, occasional heartburn, lifestyle changes and certain supplements may provide adequate relief. However, frequent GERD (more than twice per week) often requires medical evaluation and may need prescription medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to prevent esophageal damage. Untreated chronic GERD can lead to complications including Barrett's esophagus. Supplements should complement, not replace, appropriate medical treatment.

When should I see a doctor for GERD symptoms?

See a doctor if you experience heartburn more than twice a week, difficulty swallowing, persistent vomiting, unintended weight loss, chest pain (always rule out cardiac causes first), or symptoms that do not respond to over-the-counter antacids. Long-standing GERD requires endoscopic evaluation to check for esophageal damage. Hoarseness, chronic cough, or asthma-like symptoms may also indicate GERD-related complications.
