As Earth Day 2025 approaches, we’re turning our attention to one of nature’s most powerful multi-taskers: kelp. At RefluxRaft, we believe wellness should extend beyond the individual. That’s why this April, we're spotlighting the connection between gut health and ocean health, and celebrating the incredible role kelp plays in both.
What Are Alginates and Why Do They Matter?
Alginates are natural compounds derived from brown seaweed, particularly giant kelp. When used in reflux symptom management, they create a gentle, floating barrier that sits atop the stomach contents, helping prevent acid from reaching the esophagus. This barrier action is what makes RefluxRaft so effective.
Kelp-derived alginates are not only clinically supported for reflux management, they also represent a sustainable, renewable resource. Choosing ingredients that support the body and the planet is core to who we are.
Kelp Forests: Quiet Climate Heroes
Kelp forests are some of the most productive ecosystems on Earth. They absorb carbon dioxide, generate oxygen, and provide food and shelter for thousands of marine species. Despite covering just a fraction of the ocean floor, they sequester massive amounts of carbon, making them a powerful ally in fighting climate change.
Kelp also helps reduce coastal erosion, improves water quality, and forms the base of critical food chains that support sea otters, fish, and other marine life.
Sea Otters + Kelp = Balance
Sea otters play a starring role in maintaining kelp forest health. These playful mammals help control sea urchin populations, which if left unchecked, can overgraze and decimate kelp. In this delicate ecological dance, otters keep the balance, and help kelp forests thrive.
