Picot Antacid Display 50 Units - Sal de Uvas
Summary
This product contains basic ingredients like citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, which are common in antacids and generally considered safe. However, the presence of sucrose adds unnecessary sugar, which is not ideal for a supplement intended for digestive relief. The formulation is relatively simple with minimal additives, but the inclusion of sugar slightly detracts from its overall healthfulness.
