NATURAL RELIEF FOR INDIGESTION & HEARTBURN
Sometimes the simplest remedies earn their place in the cupboard for generations. HEALTH NUT's imported, pharmaceutical-grade Sodium Bicarbonate is a time-tested natural antacid — helping neutralise excess stomach acid for fast relief from occasional indigestion and heartburn, while supporting your body's natural acid-alkaline balance.
WHAT MAKES PHARMACEUTICAL-GRADE DIFFERENT?
Not all bicarbonate of soda is created equal. The baking-aisle variety is made to food-manufacturing standards; pharmaceutical grade is produced and tested to a higher purity standard — the quality used where consistency matters most. If you're taking bicarb as part of your wellness routine rather than baking with it, purity is worth paying attention to.
WAYS TO USE BICARBONATE OF SODA
- Occasional indigestion & heartburn: acts as a natural antacid, neutralising excess stomach acid.
- Acid-alkaline balance: supports the body's natural pH balance as part of an alkaline-conscious lifestyle.
- Sports performance: bicarbonate is one of the most-studied natural performance aids — athletes use it to help buffer the acid build-up that causes muscle fatigue during intense exercise.
- Home & beauty: from a soothing foot soak and gentle exfoliant to a natural deodoriser and cleaner — one tub, dozens of uses.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is it safe to take bicarbonate of soda every day?
In the recommended small doses, most healthy adults tolerate it well. Because it's naturally high in sodium, daily use isn't suitable for everyone — check the note above and speak to your doctor if you're unsure.
I've read that bicarbonate can support kidney health — is that true?
There is genuine medical research in this area, but it involves treatment under a doctor's supervision. If kidney health is your concern, please don't self-treat — discuss sodium bicarbonate with your doctor or specialist first.
What's the difference between this and the baking soda at the supermarket?
Chemically they're the same compound — the difference is purity standard. Pharmaceutical grade is produced and tested to stricter specifications, which matters when you're consuming it regularly rather than baking the occasional cake.
What else can I use it for?
Plenty: a soothing bath or foot soak, a gentle scalp or skin exfoliant, a natural fridge and carpet deodoriser, a fruit-and-veg wash, and of course baking. See our guides below for ideas.
