Reflux Alginate Therapy - All Natural GERD and LPR Treatment #shorts

An alternative all-natural and safe way to treat reflux long-term is with sodium alginate (1:41) derived from seaweed. When taken after meals, it coats the esophagus and stomach lining, but more importantly, it creates a floating gelatinous raft on top of the stomach secretions. This raft physically prevents reflux from happening by plugging the opening into the esophagus whenever a reflux event is about to occur.

Standard medications to treat reflux include H2 blockers (peptcid, zantac) and proton pump inhibitors (prilosec, nexium, prevacid, protonix), but long-term use is typically not recommended since these medications can cause unacceptable side effects. Unlike H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors, alginate does not alter how the stomach lining itself functions.

There are a few alginate products on the market to treat reflux and include the following:
