Why Choose Alginate for Occasional Heartburn*
Alginate, or alginic acid, is a substance found in brown algae. It possesses a viscous gel texture that quickly absorbs water – over 200-300 times its own weight. In the stomach, that gel forms a “raft” that floats on the stomach’s acid pocket.*
That raft keeps the acid from entering the esophagus, which helps soothe the sensation of occasional heartburn while also giving the esophageal tissue an opportunity to rebuild itself.*The combo of ingredients in Heartburn Soothe‡ forms 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.*
Alginate gets help from two buffering agents, calcium carbonate and trimethylglycine, and prickly pear cactus extract. This combination offers two major benefits. First, the alginate barrier is stronger and more flexible. And, we can use less alginate, for a tastier tablet that’s not foamy or chalky.
Heartburn Soothe‡ also uses a prickly pear cactus extract made from the flattened stems, rather than the fruit. This botanical extract cools and soothes the gastrointestinal tract lining (similar to aloe vera but without irritating laxatives).*
Formulated for immediate results, Heartburn Soothe‡ is another one to keep close at hand when you eat.
