    I have heartburn right now and took two tums. Was curious of how it works and I'm here now.
    Thanks for teaching me something I didn't know brotha ✊🏽

      Thanks for the Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Iiyayloon Straightforward Interest (just google it)? It is a smashing one off product for destroying your heartburn issues without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my buddy at last got astronomical results with it.

    Here's a suggestion along similar lines. There's a component of more complex treatments for heartburn called sodium alginate. When I was at university we learned that upon contact with the stomach they expand and form a raft which floats on top of the stomach contents which stops them from refluxing into the oesophagus. A cool follow up experiment would be to have a plastic bottle as a "stomach" and some tubing connected as an "oesophagus" and show the raft forming. See how effective it is at stopping reflux when the bottle is squeezed or if you tilt the bottle back like someone lying down. Just an idea, really enjoy your videos. :)

    Just throwing this out there but bicarbonate (HCO3) reacting with free hydrogen (H+) to reach an equilibrium is also whats happening in your blood right now due to the CO2 combining with H2O (from blood plasma) in your blood as it's making its way to your lungs to be converted back to CO2 and H2O so that the CO2 can be released and O2 can be gained. These reactions cause free H+ to lower your blood pH which if it gets low enough (usually from too much CO2 in the blood) is what makes you feel an urge to need to inhale (breathe). Also though, your kidney can actually create more bicarbonate as a buffer if your blood pH is getting low which will take up free hydrogen and raise the pH that way too. Idk, I'm not big on biology really but the chemistry that happens in the body is usually pretty interesting to me, of course there's a lot more to this that I've just been learning but I thought it was cool that it's basically the same buffer in antacid and in blood.

    Dude I did the ph buffer a couple of weeks ago in Chem II lab and I had a tough heartburn yesterday I decided to buy it yesterday and I didn’t know that it was ph buffer for real thank u so much for this info.

    The only time I get heartburn is from eating nothing but MRE's in the field. Little known fact: antacids make it extremely difficult to absorb some nutrients from food, especially Iron and Vit B12. Therefore they shouldn't be relied on regularly.

    As a non-native speaker, the fist time I saw antacid I wondered why someone would use ant-acid (In German formic acid is colloquially known as Ameisen-Säure, direct translation: ant-acid) for heart burn...
