FAQ: Is Gaviscon Mixed Berry the same formula as the peppermint versions?

Yes - Gaviscon Dual Action Mixed Berry provides the same dual-action alginate and antacid formula as the peppermint versions. The only difference is the flavour. Some people with heartburn find that mint can actually worsen their symptoms by relaxing the lower oesophageal sphincter - for these people, the mixed berry flavour is the better choice while still providing the same Gaviscon protection.

FAQ: Why might peppermint flavour worsen heartburn?

Peppermint contains menthol, which can relax the lower oesophageal sphincter - the valve that prevents stomach contents from refluxing upward. In people sensitive to this effect, mint-flavoured products could theoretically trigger or worsen reflux. The mixed berry version of Gaviscon provides the same protection without this potential concern, making it preferable for some heartburn sufferers.
