The Science
A “life raft” for occasional heartburn*
Found in brown algae, alginate possesses a viscous gel texture that quickly absorbs 200-300 times its weight in water. In the stomach, it forms a “raft” that floats on the stomach’s acid pocket.* That keeps the acid from entering the esophagus, soothing the sensation of occasional heartburn while also giving the esophageal tissue an opportunity to rebuild itself.*
Boost the benefits of alginate*
The buffering agents calcium carbonate and trimethylglycine, plus prickly pear cactus extract, form a barrier and buffer for gastric acid while soothing the GI tract lining.* Multiple clinical trials have shown a natural approach to occasional heartburn can be safe and efficacious.*
