NaturCress FAQs
Here are answers to questions we hear frequently from customers. We hope the NaturCress FAQs that follow are helpful to your evaluation of our natural supplement.
Why should I consider NaturCress?
Our sensitivity to certain foods increases as we get older. They start triggering an unpleasant, painful burning feeling behind the breastbone known as heartburn. Avoiding heartburn can lead to unwelcome limits on what, how much and when we eat. NaturCress® can help free you from these limits.
What are heartburn symptoms?
- A burning pain in the chest that usually occurs after eating
- The burning may occur at night
- Pain that worsens when lying down or bending over
- Bitter or acidic taste in the mouth
Heartburn is the feeling we get when acid “refluxes” or backs up into the esophagus and irritates it. The lining of the esophagus is not as well protected from acid as the stomach lining.
What’s the difference between acid reflux, heartburn and GERD?
Acid reflux is a mechanism, heartburn a symptom and GERD a disease. (For More on GERD)
Here’s a short explanation from HealthCentral Newsletter on the differences between acid reflux, heartburn and GERD that has been reviewed by a doctor.
When should I see a Doctor about my heartburn?
Seek immediate help if you experience severe chest pain or pressure, especially when combined with other signs and symptoms such as pain in the arm or jaw or difficulty breathing. Such chest pain may be a symptom of a heart attack. Don’t take this lightly. We want you as a customer for a long time. (For Non-Emergency Care)
Is NaturCress effective?
NaturCress® is effective for most healthy people with occasional heartburn from excess acid.* Its formula has a solid basis in stomach biochemistry and in a clinical trial.
Fully 89% of users were highly satisfied with their results in a clinical trial with 40 men and women. Their satisfaction increased over the four days of the trial. Of those with nighttime heartburn, 80% reported improvement. Your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back, hassle-free. More user study information here.
What’s in NaturCress?
100% natural, NaturCress® is specially milled garden cress seed and the mineral nutrient, zinc. Garden cress seed has been a human food for thousands of years. No other heartburn relief supplement has garden cress seed. There is 960 mg of garden cress seed and 6 mg of elemental zinc in each two-capsule serving.
What are the active ingredients?
We test to make sure there is at least 3 mg of glucosinolate, the active component of the garden cress seed, in every serving of NaturCress. It and the zinc lasts at least two years if kept dry and at room temperature. There is a “use by” date printed on each bottle as they are filled. The capsules are vegan and our bottles are BPA-free.
How does NaturCress work?
Both the active components of NaturCress® signal the stomach lining to hold stomach acid where it is made and to not release it into the stomach. Each component does this differently. Together they help prevent acid from irritating the lower esophagus by lowering the amount of acid in the stomach. (For More)
Is NaturCress safe to eat?
NaturCress® herbal supplement is made with US ingredients in a facility in the Midwest which’s certified for current Good Manufacturing Practices for dietary supplements by an independent third-party. The operation has over 50 years of successful experience and a great safety record. (For More)
What cautions are on the label?
Like any dietary supplement, consult your physician before using if you are:
● Undergoing treatment for a medical condition
● Taking a prescription drug for heartburn
● Trying to become or are pregnant
● Also taking a zinc supplement (40 mg per day is the recommended limit by the National Institutes of Health. There are 6 mg of elemental zinc per serving of NaturCress) or

Does NaturCress use chemical extraction?
No chemical extraction is used in making NaturCress®. The active compound in NaturCress’s garden cress seed is concentrated enough naturally that there is no need to reduce its bulk through extraction. There is enough glucosinolate in each dose as the seeds come from the field. The zinc is standardized at 6 mg of elemental zinc per serving. (For More Information)

How can both too much and too little stomach acid lead to heartburn?
NaturCress® works for its intended purpose when too much stomach acid is irritating the esophagus. But surprisingly, having too little stomach acid is also associated with heartburn. We have a product for those with too little stomach acid too. (For Those with Low Stomach Acid)
Why’s NaturCress better than over-the-counter drugs?
