For foodies, stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets must be familiar to them. They can even be said to be a must-have item at home or when traveling.

What should you do if you feel uncomfortable because you are full? Take a few tablets of Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets. They taste sour and sweet. Not only do they taste good, but they also help digestion. You can't stop eating them!

But foodies, beware! You can’t just take these stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets!

Experts have raised objections to the phenomenon that many people treat stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets as snacks: if the specific cause of indigestion is not identified, and a large amount of digestion medicine is taken blindly, it may lead to symptoms such as heartburn and acid reflux.

After all, Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets are medicines, which are fundamentally different from snacks. The Xiaoshi tablets on the market are mainly composed of Pseudostellaria heterophylla, tangerine peel, yam, malt (fried), and hawthorn. The most important ingredient is hawthorn, because hawthorn tastes sour, which can increase gastric acid secretion and enzyme activity, thus playing a role in aiding digestion.

Many people know that eating too much hawthorn can cause stomach stones and aggravate gastric ulcers, so they mistakenly believe that eating too many stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets can also cause these symptoms.

Moreover, " all medicines are poisonous to some extent ". If there is no food accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract, but you take stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets excessively, it will weaken the spleen and stomach functions, interfere with the dynamic balance of the gastrointestinal tract, and may even cause a decrease in digestive function after stopping the medication.
