Baking Soda for Heartburn: Benefit or Risk? Find Out What Really Works!

Heartburn — a familiar burning sensation in the esophagus caused by acid reflux from the stomach. Many people try to relieve it with baking soda, but is this method truly safe?
This article explains how baking soda works, its potential risks, and why modern dietary supplements — such as Hyalera — may be a more effective solution.

Does Baking Soda Really Help with Heartburn?

Baking soda reacts with stomach acid, temporarily neutralizing it. While this may bring quick relief, it often comes with:

• bloating and gas formation;
• rebound acid increase (“acid rebound” effect);
• sodium buildup in the body;
• risks for people with cardiovascular diseases.

Thus, baking soda does not eliminate the cause — it only masks symptoms for a short time.

How Long Does It Take for Baking Soda to Work?

Relief is usually felt within 10–15 minutes, but it doesn’t last long — heartburn may return within an hour.

Can You Take Baking Soda During Pregnancy?

Experts do not recommend it: baking soda may cause swelling, fluid retention, and other side effects.

Baking Soda or Modern Remedies — Which Is Better?

Instead of short-term relief from baking soda, it’s better to choose Hyalera, a dietary supplement by Vorwarts Pharma, designed to relieve heartburn and protect the mucous membrane.
