Researchers have found that spinach (Spinacia oleracea) exhibits potent antacid activity. The study, which was published in the Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine, looked at the antacid effect of raw spinach juice and methanolic extract of spinach.
With these findings, the researchers concluded that spinach, whether in the raw juice form or as an extract in methanol, possesses significant antacid activity.
