"Although the multimineral Zorba pill was designed as a simple dietary supplement, a

study of first-time ulcer patients who took Zorba suggests that Zorba actually helps

prevent ulcers. The study showed that only 25 percent of those ulcer patients who took

Zorba under a doctor's direction developed new ulcers, compared to a 75 percent

recurrence rate among ulcer patients who did not take Zorba. Clearly, then, Zorba will
