Holistic Health Unpacked

Alginate therapy offers a mechanical solution to GERD. Derived from brown seaweed, it reacts with stomach acid to form a physical barrier, or raft, that floats on top of your stomach contents. This raft prevents acid and pepsin from splashing back into the esophagus, providing relief from heartburn and regurgitation. Unlike antacids or acid blockers, this method is non-systemic, meaning it works locally in the stomach without being absorbed into your bloodstream. It's a physical fix, not a chemical one.
