The 9 p.m. burn isn't acid. It's pressure.
A stressed day, a late dinner, a burn high in the belly, and antacids that buy you twenty minutes. A Belgian study showed what stress does to the stomach. Ten-second check below.
Step 1. Tap what sounds like you.
Step 2. Tap what is true most weeks.
A stomach has two exits. The burn comes from the wrong one.
Dinner is supposed to leave through the door at the bottom. When that door runs slow, food sits, makes gas and pressure, and pushes on the only exit that gives: the valve at the top. Tap what you have tried.
Four of those act on what comes out the top. One supports the door.
Ten minutes of worry, and the stomach made less room.
Researchers in Leuven, Belgium had healthy volunteers listen to a recording of an anxious memory from their own lives, then measured the stomach. Same people, same stomachs. Under stress, the stomach relaxed less to receive a meal and hit discomfort with less food in it. Fullness and bloating scores went up.
So I built Cool in two halves.
An antacid mops up what comes out the top. Cool is built for the two things underneath: the door and the shield. Seven actives, two capsules a day, with a meal.
The muscle and nerve cells that time the stomach's exit use vitamin B1 for energy. Allithiamine, a fat-soluble B1, with magnesium glycinate and ginger, supports healthy stomach emptying.*
Mastic gum, zinc carnosine, DGL licorice and aloe inner gel support a healthy stomach lining.*

Twelve-week money-back guarantee. Not helping? One email refunds your first order, up to three bottles, and you keep them.
For adults whose upper-belly burn, pressure and fullness track with stress and late meals. Not for pregnancy, nursing, or under 18. Ask your clinician first if you take a blood thinner or live with kidney disease.
Cool is not an antacid and does not replace a prescription. Trouble swallowing, vomiting blood, black stools, weight loss, or chest pain with exertion is a doctor visit today, not an order.
Why do antacids only buy twenty minutes?
They neutralize what is already there. If dinner is still sitting behind a slow door, the pressure builds again.
Can I take it with my acid reducer?
Yes, for most people. Cool contains no acid blocker and does not replace one. Keep taking what your clinician prescribed and bring the label to your next visit.
Why B1 for a stomach problem?
The stomach's exit is timed by muscle and nerve cells that use B1 to make energy. Several common prescriptions, metformin and some antidepressants among them, interfere with how the gut absorbs ordinary thiamine. That is one reason Cool uses the fat-soluble form.
Is the licorice safe for blood pressure?
Cool uses DGL, licorice with the glycyrrhizin removed. Glycyrrhizin is the compound that raises blood pressure.
How does the guarantee work?
Twelve weeks from delivery. If Cool is not helping, email support@belly-md.com and your first order is refunded, up to three bottles. You keep the bottles. One refund per household.
