Natural GERD Treatment with Alginate
Alginate is a natural substance derived from brown kelp, a type of seaweed. It's been used in various applications, from thickening food to wound dressings, but its role in GERD management is particularly interesting. When you take alginate, it reacts with the acid in your stomach to form a thick gel that floats on top of the stomach contents. Think of it as a protective barrier, or a 'raft', that helps keep everything in its place, preventing the acid from splashing back up into the esophagus.
