Both my husband and I have been taking Prevacid for years now for GERDS (acid reflux). We have very different symptoms, his being heartburn, mine is a swallowing problem when I eat -esp. certain foods. We heard from a M.D./Naturopath that Zypan and vinegar (with the mother in it)could be helpful. We take 1-2 with each meal. My husband has totally gotten off Prevacid for several weeks and seldom has any problems at all. He's also almost completely off of the vinegar (used supplementally at first between meals as needed). Also his intestinal digestion has improved greatly. I have been off now for 3 weeks which is simply amazing for me (I couldn't miss even 1/2 a day without Prevacid) and am doing really well. I can't believe it. I was soooo scared of choking and asperating. What a relief to be off that harmful antacid cycle.
My sister has had Type I Diabetes for 40 years now and could NEVER have a normal BM. Now she does more than fine! Zypan is amazing!

My daughter has been using Zypan for over two years with excellent results--in fact if we miss it for more than one or two meals you can see her stomach start to swell up (distension). I started using it a few months ago and wish I had tried it sooner. I have very low stomach acid and it has completely taken care of the debilitating stomach aches I got every time I ate, as well as helped my extremely bound up system become regular again (sorry if that's TMI, but if you're suffering with that like I was you'll want to know). My natural doctor said that when your liver and pancreas get over-taxed (for various reasons) it can slow down your production of digestive enzymes which then can cause severe stomach pain (and distension, bloating, gas, etc) and eventually leads to build-up of wastes in your system (poor/no elimination w/o help). It's a nasty cycle which builds on itself. Taking digestive enzymes takes some of the pressure off your pancreas and liver which allows them to heal and start producing enzymes again...which then leads to your system becoming more regular and functioning on its own again. This process takes time, though, especially if you have other things going on (we do), but one nice thing to keep in mind is that zypan is a whole-foods supplement and is not addicting.
PS My daughter is fairly young and has trouble swallowing pills so we crush hers up in a small amount of applesauce each time; it's not ideal but it works and she deals with the taste quite well. That's probably because she can feel such a difference with it.

I suffered from acid reflux for YEARS. I took Previcid, Prilosec, etc. Anything to help.
Then I went to a chropractor for tennis elbow and just ask out of the blue if he had something for acid reflux. He told me to try the Zypan. After a day it helped. Now I only take it occasionally, when I have a flair up. Yesterday I took 2 with lunch and 2 with dinner. Today, it is completely gone.
It is a miracle pill.

I have been taking Nexium for a couple of years now. I was taking one Nexium before my evening meal. About a month ago, I began taking two Zypan at my evening meal and at the same time I stopped Nexium. This has taken care of about 95% of my problems with heartburn and reflux. I recommend it.

I have had acid reflux since I was 15 and nothing seemed to work. I took prevacid,nexium,prilosec,OTC antacids,etc to no avail. Luckily this happened to be recommended to me by a doctor and its worked wonders ever since. Zypan has helped amazingly with my digestion and I have seen a vast improvement. Standard process is a great company and this is definitely an excellent product for anyone who is looking for help with digestion issues.

Something eaten on a trip to south Texas whacked out my lifelong intestinal good health. Just about everything went wrong. Strangely enough I couldn't eat beef without dire consequences.

In the end, no medical diagnosis could be made. I was told I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome, meaning they couldn't identify the cause of my discomfort. I ate a restricted diet and was placed on a regimen of Prilosec for acid reflux. Seemingly a life sentence.

Then a friend, who's also a chiropractor, recommended I drop the Prilosec and take Zypan and A-F Betafood (also available on Amazon). Chiropractors and Standard Process products go hand-in-hand, but if that puts you off, you're missing a chance at relief here. He told me to take two tabs of each before each meal. In three days I was through with three years of extreme discomfort. It was a miracle in my mind and a reminder that when medical science reaches a dead end, there's still hope.

I'm now taking only one dose a day, in the morning. If I know I'm going to eat something that set me off before, I take an extra dose before or after the meal. I've added a good probiotic and daily yogurt. I'm a new man. And I can enjoy a steak if I want (although I've not gone back to the old red-meat diet, by choice).

Still, a smothered burrito once in a while is one of life's great pleasures for someone who thought he'd never be able to eat one again!

I was very skeptical as I have been taking antacids (everything from Zantc to aciphex) for approximately 20 years now. My hearburn had gotten so bad that I was taking 2-4 a day at times! My friend talked me into trying these saying they worked for her (thank you Teresa!)but I was still not expecting them to help. It has only been a week but I have not taken a single antacid since I started taking Zypan and have only had a couple of slight feelings of heartburn and no reflux. I take 2 with each meal but have heard you can cut down to 1 and sometimes none at all for a while at least. I do also take a good Probiotic (GNC brand) that was higly recommended since I was also having digestive issues. I'm amazed that these work so well. You have to get past the smell and taste but I take them in the middle of my meal so I get rid of the taste with some food. I tried them because I wanted to stop taking antacids and stop my stomach pain figuring what did I have to lose, especially with them not costing much. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that has had ongoing heartburn issues.

I used to have to clear my throat ALL the time. I could eat a piece of ice and have to clear my throat. It was especially bad right after I ate food. It was driving me and my husband nuts. My chiropractor/nutritionist recommended Zypan 330. She felt like my digestion was causing the "yuck" in my throat. I started taking it and saw results almost immediately. I mentioned it to a couple of my friends, one who is a teacher. She clears her throat while she is teaching and is frustrated by it. She started taking it and was amazed at the difference.

Zypan is a great solution to anyone that has trouble digesting proteins or digesting in general. I love the product and need it to live a normal life.

My doctor recommended Zypan by Standard Process about eight months ago to aid with digestion and absorption of food. I've used it almost every day since then and I never have a problem with digestion anymore. I'm a 73-year-old male now in excellent health. Once a month I see my doctor just for monitoring of past problems and anything that may pop up. Until and if he says I don't need it, I would not want to be without Zypan. He also recommended two Standard Process products for prostate issues (Palmettoplex and Prostate PMG) and I've had excellent results with those too. This shipment came within two days after ordered by the usual excellent service from amazon.com.
