When the stomach kicks in: a common but never mundane experience

Heartburn, persistent acidity, a sense of heaviness that creeps in after meals. Those familiar with disorders such as gastritis or gastro-oesophageal reflux know how much these sensations can affect quality of life. Discomfort can begin with a simple gastric tightness, which gradually turns into a dull, diffuse pain, or explode into stinging twinges that rise toward the chest, sometimes mimicking pain of a cardiac nature.Stomach acidity can be a constant presence, an annoyance that accompanies every meal or appears unexpectedly in the middle of the night, disturbing rest and leaving a sour, bitter sensation in the mouth upon waking.

Gastro-oesophageal reflux, in particular, can manifest as a sensation of acid rising up along the esophagus, often accompanied by regurgitation, impaired breath, and an uncomfortable feeling of a knot in the throat. In some cases, gastro-oesophageal pain occurs after large or high-fat meals, with a retrosternal burning sensation that can last for several hours. It is not uncommon to feel pressure in the stomach that limits deep breathing, or mild but constant nausea that occurs without warning and hinders even the simplest daily activities.

Gastric pain often presents itself in an insidious way: a painful empty feeling, a persistent stinging in the upper abdomen, or a widespread irritation that worsens if one remains on an empty stomach or after morning coffee. In cases of gastritis, stomach pain may be intermittent or constant, becoming more acute with the change of seasons, with stress, or following disordered meals. Each person experiences these disorders with different nuances, but what they have in common is the interference with well-being, concentration, and the desire to sit at the table with serenity.

Aligastril meets these needs in two complementary formulations designed to suit different times of the day. The powder version, to be taken after meals, is suitable for regular, daily use. The gel stick, practical and ready to use, represents a pocket-sized ally, always at hand to manage the unexpected, even when out of the house. Both solutions are created to accompany those who experience these disorders, offering a simple gesture in response to a discomfort that should never be underestimated.

Targeted action and natural relief: physiological support against gastric disorders

The efficacy of Aligastril and Aligastril Gel is based on an integrated approach, capable of acting in synergy with the body's natural protective mechanisms to promote a functional rebalancing of the gastrointestinal system. Thanks to a unique combination of phytotherapeutic active ingredients and components with mechanical and regulatory action, the product exerts a comprehensive intervention designed to provide rapid and lasting relief while respecting digestive physiology.

Central to Aligastril's action is the formation of a protective barrier, which is achieved through the presence of sodium alginate. This substance, in contact with the acidic environment of the stomach, gives rise to a viscous gel that floats above the gastric contents, creating a mechanical anti-reflux effect. This physical layer helps to contain the rise of gastric juices and is an active protection of the gastric mucosa, reducing acid aggression and helping to restore tissue integrity.

The barrier effect ofalginate is complemented by the regulatory action of bicarbonate, which can locally neutralize excess acidity, thus helping to inhibit acid production and stabilize gastric pH. This buffering effect offers an immediate sense of rebalancing, especially at times when the gastric environment is particularly altered.

Aligastril's innovation is in the use of melatonin, traditionally used to regulate sleep-wake cycles but also crucial in gastric health. It has gastroprotective action in that it stimulates the production of bicarbonate by duodenal enterocytes, enhancing protection of the mucosa downstream of the stomach, and prostaglandins, which are critical in regulating the balance between mucus production and acidity. In addition, melatonin stimulates the contractile activity of the lower esophageal sphincter, whose function is impaired in gastro-oesophageal reflux. Finally, it stimulates the processes of angiogenesis and tissue repair, which are essential in cases of corrosion caused by stomach acid.

Finally, in Aligastril we find chamomile, rich in mucilage, polysaccharides and flavonoids, has anemollient and soothing action, while its antispasmodic component promotes a more regular and harmonious digestion, with an indirect effect on gas elimination and abdominal distension.

In Aligastril powder, we find the patented Lacursome® technology whereby the active ingredients of the product are encapsulated in lipid particles derived from cocoa butter, coated with pharmaceutical-grade, positively charged chitosan of fungal origin. Through this technology, the active ingredients are delivered to the gastric mucosa and adhere to it by electrostatic interaction with the negatively charged mucus layer.

Available in two distinct formats, Aligastril Powder and Aligastril Gel in ready-to-use sticks, the product adapts flexibly to different daily needs, offering valuable support against gastritis and reflux, in protecting the gastric mucosa and restoring a deep and natural feeling of well-being.
