Definition
Something that neutralizes or counteracts acid, or is not affected by acid; often refers to substances that reduce stomach acid.
Etymology
From 'anti-' (against) + 'acid' (from Latin 'acidus' meaning sour), formed in chemistry and medicine in the 19th century.
Kelly Says
Antacids work through a clever chemical trick—they use bases like calcium carbonate to neutralize hydrochloric acid in your stomach, essentially winning a tiny chemical battle every time you feel heartburn.
