Around one in five adults worldwide experiences functional dyspepsia,
such as upper abdominal discomfort, bloating, or heartburn, which can affect daily life and sleep.

A broader approach to stomach health looks beyond acid suppression
and focuses on protecting the gastric mucosa, supporting the mucus layer, and reducing oxidative stress.
