The esophageal guardian is typically used to provide protection and support for the esophagus, particularly in cases of occasional heartburn, acid reflux, or other forms of esophageal irritation. These products often work by forming a protective barrier or raft on top of the stomach contents, which helps prevent acid and other irritants from refluxing into the esophagus.
