Grapefruit Seed Extracts Solution to Stomach Ulcers

Grapefruit seed extract (GSE) is packed with antioxidant properties that help maintain a healthy digestive system, and may have healing effects on people with stomach ulcers according to a new study.
Employing GE treatments, the amount of gastric secretion was reduced by half and the size of the ulcers decreases after six to nine days. Moreover, a stark increase in blood flow to the ulcers and more gastrin was released. Thomas Brozozowski, MD, PhD said “Because grapefruit is acidic in nature, people with ulcers might assume that they should not include the fruit in their diet”. However, this research might suggests the exact opposite. The antioxidant property found in grapefruit and the ability of this fruit extract to limit oxidative stress in the ulceratic gastric mucosa have the therapeutic properties that when continued in additional therapy, can be beneficial for healing gastric ulcers.
