The article discusses the results of using the biologically active supplement VENTRAP, consisting of dried mulberry, black root, and large plantain, in addition to eradication therapy (ET) in 40 hospitalized patients suffering from Helicobacter pylori-associated chronic gastritis. Despite the implementation of highly effective eradication therapy (ET), 15-25% of patients continue to experience persistent dyspeptic symptoms (DS) such as a burning sensation and pain in the epigastric region, heaviness after meals, and early satiety, significantly worsening the patients' quality of life. VENTRAP has demonstrated high effectiveness and safety in eliminating (DS) and has been recommended as an alternative phytotherapy for the treatment and prevention of (DS) in patients with Helicobacter pylori-associated chronic gastritis.
