Product Benefits
| Core Benefit | Mechanism |
| Forms Physical Barrier ("Raft") | Sodium Alginate reacts with stomach acid to form a strong, low-density gel that physically floats on the stomach contents, mechanically preventing the reflux of acid, pepsin, and bile into the esophagus. |
| Rapid Neutralization | The Antacid components immediately work to neutralize excess stomach acid, providing quick relief from the burning pain associated with heartburn and dyspepsia. |
| Long-Lasting Efficacy | The protective alginate raft is durable and remains in the stomach for an extended period (up to 4 hours), offering sustained protection against reflux, which is longer than most standard antacids. |
| Safe for Pregnancy | Due to its primarily physical mechanism of action (it is not absorbed into the bloodstream), it is widely recognized as a safe and effective option for relieving heartburn during pregnancy. |
