Phytochemical study of a phytocomposition for the correction of hyperacid gastric conditions

Abstract

Hyperacid gastric conditions and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) remain significant medical and social challenges in modern gastroenterology. Their high prevalence, chronic recurrent course, substantial impact on patients’ quality of life, and the risk of complications necessitate the search for new effective and safe approaches to prevention and comprehensive treatment. Aim of the Study: To perform a phytochemical investigation of a phytocomposition consisting of marshmallow roots (Althaea officinalis L.), St. John’s wort herb (Hypericum perforatum L.), calendula flowers (Calendula officinalis L.), and fireweed herb (Epilobium angustifolium L.), and to provide a theoretical justification for its potential use in the correction of hyperacid gastric conditions.
