ENO Orange 200g Bottle

ENO is the classic fruit salt: sodium bicarbonate and citric acid that fizz together in water to make a fast-acting alkaline drink. It neutralises stomach acid on contact, typically easing heartburn, acid indigestion and that overfull, gassy feeling within minutes, and the released gas helps bring up trapped wind. It is the fastest-onset antacid format there is, and also the shortest-acting, which makes it the right tool for sudden after-dinner acidity rather than for daily management of chronic reflux. The 200g bottle is the family kitchen-cupboard format, a season of fizz by the teaspoon.

When acidity strikes after a rich meal you want relief in minutes, not an hour. Nothing on the antacid shelf works faster than a dissolved bicarbonate salt, and the familiar fizz-and-drink ritual is half the comfort. Keeping a tin at home also ends the late-night improvisation with kitchen bicarb, which nobody doses correctly.
