Food-acid relief
Take the edge off acidic foods and drinks
CalGly is a pre-meal food supplement that may help reduce the acid content of the foods and drinks you enjoy — and a European option for those who used Prelief in the US.
Add CalGly — €19.95The everyday problem
When everyday foods feel less than friendly
Coffee first thing, a squeeze of lemon, tomatoes in almost everything, a glass of wine with dinner — acidic foods and drinks are woven through everyday life. For many people who follow IC-friendly diets, these are among the foods they most often choose to moderate.
Dietary guidance from organisations such as the ICA and the IC Network includes long lists of higher-acid foods. The result, for some, is a narrower, more cautious way of eating than they would like.
A different approach
A buffer, not another food to avoid
Rather than asking you to cut more foods out, CalGly works as a pre-meal acid buffer: taken just before an acidic meal or drink, it may help reduce the acid content of foods and drinks.
Each serving combines calcium glycerophosphate (230 mg, providing 44 mg calcium) with organic, anthraquinone-free aloe vera (40 mg, with SSAV), as 120 vegan capsules. It is made with the same active ingredient many people used in Prelief in the US, produced by Desert Harvest and available across Europe.

“I keep one bottle in the kitchen and one in my bag. Taking CalGly before my morning coffee has become a simple, easy part of my day, and I like that it is made with aloe vera as well.”Marieke
From the US to the EU
A European option if you used Prelief
If you relied on Prelief while living in or visiting the US, you may have found it difficult to source once back in Europe. CalGly offers a European option: it is made with calcium glycerophosphate, the same active ingredient many people used in Prelief, and adds organic aloe vera.
It is supplied and supported by Desert Harvest Europe (Bivio Medical B.V., the Netherlands), so you can order within the EU without looking overseas. Read more about food acid and the bladder before you decide.
