A muscular band or ‘sphincter’ at the base of the esophagus, also known as the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), functions as an internal valve to either relax and allow food to enter the stomach, or contract to keep the contents of the stomach inside the stomach and away from the esophagus. Supporting the function of the LES is the diaphragm, which acts as a sphincter on the outside of the stomach (see Figure 1).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintaining the muscular tone of the LES is important as this ensures that the stomach’s contents, which include gastric acid, bile, pepsin and other digestive fluids, remain inside the stomach where their primary function is to break down, digest and absorb nutrients from the food we eat. However, occasional poor muscle tone of the LES, but also normal gastric distension caused by mild bloating, may allow small amounts of digestive fluids to spill out of the stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis may irritate the delicate and protective mucosal tissues that line the esophagus, causing mild symptoms of discomfort. Another factor that may contribute to this common irritation is a temporary lack of tone in the esophagus itself as it tries to clear away any unwanted stomach contents.\u003csup\u003e1,2\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow HiPep Supports Your Health:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeadowsweet is one of the most valued digestive herbs used in traditional Western paradigms.
