If you find yourself reaching for proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers to manage acid reflux or heartburn, you're not alone. These medications can offer much-needed relief, but did you know they may also disrupt the absorption of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron?

It's a concerning thought, but fear not! There are natural ways to support your body's mineral needs and maintain optimal health.

Incorporating Mineral-Rich Foods:

One effective strategy is to incorporate mineral-rich foods into your daily diet. Foods such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, dairy products, and seafood are excellent sources of calcium, magnesium, and iron. By including these foods in your meals regularly, you can help replenish the essential minerals that may be affected by acid blockers.

In addition to dietary changes, targeted supplementation can also be beneficial in reducing potential deficiencies caused by acid blockers.
