MUCOSAVE™ CLINICAL STUDY
Study Overview
118 adults with moderate acid reflux participated in this 2-month double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2016
What They Tested
Researchers wanted to see if Mucosave (the blend of prickly pear and olive leaf extracts in Kiss My Acid Goodbye) could effectively reduce reflux symptoms without the side effects of acid-blocking medications.
Who Participated
- 118 men and women with moderate gastroesophageal reflux
- Participants experienced reflux episodes 2-6 days per week
- All had symptoms that significantly impacted their quality of life
How the Study Worked
- Double-blind design: Neither participants nor researchers knew who was getting the real treatment vs. placebo
- Duration: 2 months of treatment
- Measurement: Participants completed validated questionnaires about their symptoms and quality of life before and after treatment
The Results That Matter to You
Symptom Relief
- 74.3% total improvement from baseline on GERD-Health Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQoL) assessment
- 56.5% reduction in overall reflux-related quality of life impact
- 59.1% reduction in symptom severity scores
- Significant decrease in both heartburn and acid regurgitation episodes per week
What This Means
Participants experienced dramatic improvement in their daily lives—less burning, less discomfort, and fewer episodes of acid coming back up their throat.
Safety
The treatment was well-tolerated with no significant side effects reported.
The Bottom Line
This rigorous clinical study proves that Mucosave doesn't just provide temporary relief—it significantly reduces the frequency and intensity of reflux symptoms over time, allowing people to get back to enjoying their lives without constant digestive distress.
