What is JAVAcid and how does it work?
JAVAcid is an all natural, flavorless, powdered coffee additive containing FDA GRAS (generally recognized as safe) ingredients known to reduce the effects of acidic foods and beverages. JAVAcid comes in convenient, 2 gram single serve stick pack packets. JAVAcid does not affect the acidity of the food itself but reduces the impact of the acids on the stomach in multiple ways. It contains the ingredients listed below which provide specific benefits to digestive health.
Dietary Fiber- 800mg of Resistant Maltodextrin and 800mg of (Chicory) dietary fiber. These are pre-biotic fibers that help absorb the acids within the stomach and are more effective then most other fiber products. They also increase the “good bacteria” in the stomach and improve digestive health and regularity.
DGL- 200mg of diglicerized licorice (DGL). This licorice extract has been shown to help increase the layer of mucus in the stomach that protects the stomach lining and reduces the effects of acid. Many people have been taking DGL in its raw form for years to help their digestive health but have to endure the strong taste. With our food chemist and years of trial and error we have been able to reduce the taste of the DGL so it does not impact the flavor of your coffee or food.
Calcium- 200mg of Calcium Carbonate. Calcium Carbonate reduces the acidity of the coffee in the stomach by adding an alkaline (opposite of an acid) into the stomach. This is a very effective antacid and along with the other JAVAcid ingredients is much more effective then calcium carbonate by itself. In addition the calcium is ingested at the same time as the coffee increasing it’s effectiveness. The calcium also has a beneficial effect on bone retention and strength.
Vitamin D- 200IU of Vitamin D. This increases the bodies ability to absorb or “uptake” the calcium carbonate. It makes the calcium carbonate more effective and it provides 50% of the US RDA of Vitamin D.

Does JAVAcid work with any coffee?

Is JAVAcid a 'Low Acid Coffee' product?
No – JAVAcid is not a coffee product in itself, but is a flavorless coffee additive. Rather than limiting you to a low acid coffee bean, JAVAcid’s Patent Pending formula reduces the acidic effects of any coffee, allowing you to continue drinking the coffee(s) you prefer.
What is the difference between JAVAcid and a Low Acid Coffee?
JAVAcid was designed to be added to any coffee whether you drink an espresso from the neighborhood coffee shop, or your own favorite blend at home. You don’t have to compromise and change your coffee to a custom low acid coffee bean. Also, it is not only coffee acid that can upset your digestive health. JAVAcid’s natural, healthy ingredients help your stomach deal with coffee acid and other coffee related irritants.
Why is JAVAcid so unique?

Many people suffer from an acidic unbalanced pH in their body. This condition forces the body to borrow minerals—mostly calcium - from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidity—a condition that may go undetected for years. Mild acidosis can cause such problems as cardiovascular damage, including the constriction of blood vessels and the reduction of oxygen, weight gain, obesity and diabetes, bladder and kidney conditions including kidney stones, immune deficiency, acceleration of free radical damage, premature aging, osteoporosis; weak, brittle bones, hip fractures and bone spurs, joint pain, aching muscle, lactic acid buildup, low energy, and chronic fatigue.
A recent seven-year study conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, on 9,000 women showed that those who have chronic acidosis are at greater risk for bone loss than those who have normal pH levels. The scientists who carried out this experiment believe that many of the hip fractures prevalent among middle-aged women are connected to high acidity caused by a diet rich in animal foods and low in vegetables. This is because the body borrows calcium from the bones in order to balance pH. — American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
How is JAVAcid different from acid reflux and heartburn medicines?
JAVAcid is not a medicine or drug. It is all natural and contains more digestive health ingredients than an acid reducer. These ingredients include Inulin Fiber (Prebiotic), Deglycerized Licorice root extract (DGL), Fibersol 2 (Resistant Maltodextrin), Vitamin D3 and Calcium Carbonate. All of these ingredients on their own are useful against digestive upset, however, the proprietary JAVAcid formula combines these ingredients to work together in a synergistic combination. The fiber absorbs acid and promotes digestive flora, the calcium reduces acid, the vitamin D helps your body absorbs the calcium, the Inulin neutralizes the flavor of the DGL and the DGL helps your body protect itself against digestive and food acids.
JAVAcid easy to use and remember to take. Once you add the healthy benefits of JAVAcid to your daily coffee routine, you will never go back!
Does JAVAcid have a lasting effect?
JAVAcid is formulated to immediately provide relief from coffee-acid stomach discomfort while helping your body long-term against excess stomach acid, acidic foods and an imbalanced pH condition. Each ingredient in JAVAcid is known for both immediate relief and also lasting digestive health benefits when taken over time.
Some customers report they use one packet of JAVAcid in the first cup of coffee and stomach benefits last throughout the day helping with other acidic foods. Many use a packet for every cup. Each customer experience is different depending on the severity of your digestive issue. Please visit www.javacid.com to read what other JAVAcid users have to say!
A single-serve JAVAcid packet will work fine in an 8-20 oz coffee.

Though not every trial has reported efficacy, most studies find DGL to facilitate healing of peptic ulcer. A review of the DGL research shows that the studies not reporting efficacy used capsules, and the trials finding DGL to be helpful were done with the DGL coming into contact with saliva as it does in JAVAcid.
JAVAcid includes Vitamin D3 to maximize the absorption of Calcium and for the vitamins other established health benefits. Vitamin D is found in very few foods and is increasingly considered to be a vital supplement. Vitamin D is essential for promoting calcium absorption and maintaining adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralization of bone and prevent diseases caused by abnormally low levels of calcium in the blood. It is also needed for bone growth and bone remodeling. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen.
Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis. Vitamin D has other roles in human health, including modulation of neuromuscular and immune function and reduction of inflammation. Many genes encoding proteins that regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis are modulated in part by vitamin D.
"GRAS" is an acronym for the phrase Generally Recognized As Safe. Under sections 201(s) and 409 of the FD&C Act, any substance that is intentionally added to food is a food additive, that is subject to pre-market review and approval by FDA, unless the substance is generally recognized, among qualified experts, as having been adequately shown to be safe under the conditions of its intended use, or unless the use of the substance is otherwise excluded from the definition of a food additive. GRAS substances are distinguished from food additives by the type of information that supports the GRAS determination, that it is publicly available and generally accepted by the scientific community, but should be the same quantity and quality of information that would support the safety of a food additive. Additional information on GRAS can be found on the GRAS Notification Program page.
