RefluxRaft is a natural, alginate-based therapy designed to relieve reflux symptoms by forming a protective barrier (raft) on top of stomach contents. This prevents acid and digestive enzymes from rising into the esophagus, reducing discomfort without altering stomach acid levels.
Unlike PPIs (which reduce acid production) and antacids (which neutralize acid), RefluxRaft creates a natural physical barrier to prevent reflux from occurring. It works immediately, does not alter stomach acid levels, and provides relief without systemic absorption or long-term side effects.
RefluxRaft can be used as needed for occasional reflux relief or daily as part of your long-term reflux management routine. Many users take it after meals and before bed for optimal results.
RefluxRaft’s protective barrier can last up to four hours, depending on digestion and meal size. For sustained relief, some users take it after meals and before bed.
RefluxRaft is most effective when taken after meals, as it forms a protective barrier on top of stomach contents. If taken on an empty stomach, it can still coat the esophagus and provide some relief, but its full raft-forming effect may be reduced.
RefluxRaft’s ingredients should not negatively interact with medications or supplements, but absorption may be delayed if taken simultaneously. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have concerns.
Yes. However, RefluxRaft requires some acid in the stomach to activate the raft, so it may be less effective if also taking a high-dose PPI at the same time.
Studies of alginate use in pregnancy have shown no risks. RefluxRaft is the highest quality alginate. The alginate complex in RefluxRaft does not get absorbed into the bloodstream, is fast-acting, has zero added sugar, and contains the lowest sodium content compared to other alginate therapies.
Yes, RefluxRaft can help manage laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), also known as silent reflux. By preventing acid and digestive enzymes like pepsin from reaching the throat and airways, RefluxRaft may help reduce LPR symptoms like sore throat, hoarseness, and postnasal drip.
No, RefluxRaft does not contain added sugars or artificial sweeteners, including stevia. It gets some natural sweetness from glycerin, a plant-based preservative.
No! RefluxRaft is an all-natural, vegan product free from gluten, dairy, soy, corn, and nuts, making it suitable for many dietary needs.
Yes. The amount of potassium in RefluxRaft is less than one-fifth of a banana. If you have severe kidney disease, check with your doctor to make sure they think this product is safe for you.
No. The side effects that you may be wondering about related to licorice are generally associated with the raw form.
The form of licorice used in RefluxRaft is Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL). It is an organic version that is Deglycyrrhizinated to remove the portion that causes the dangerous effects of licorice (such as elevated blood pressure).
However, this form still maintains its effectiveness as a protective coating of the throat and esophagus (called a demulcent).
Yes! RefluxRaft is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, made with plant-based ingredients and never tested on animals.
No. Even though the alginate is derived from the sea (Kelp is a seaweed), there is no iodine or mercury in RefluxRaft.
No, RefluxRaft is aluminum-free. Some traditional antacids contain aluminum-based compounds, but our alginate formula does not.
25mg of sodium is in a 5mL dose of RefluxRaft; this is less than a pinch of table salt.
The RefluxRaft formula produces an effective acid-blocking gel (raft) from only 245mg of alginate due to the high-quality alginate used and a proprietary blend of ingredients including additional raft bulking from ginger and DGL. The effectiveness at this dose compares with other products containing significantly more alginate. For a demonstration of the effectiveness of RefluxRaft see our Science page.
Yes, RefluxRaft undergoes third-party testing to ensure purity, safety, and consistency. We test for contaminants, including mold and harmful bacteria.
Take 1 teaspoon (5ml), or more as needed or as directed by your healthcare practitioner, after meals and/or before bed. May repeat after meals throughout the day as needed. It can also be taken after alcohol consumption, which can be a particularly potent stimulator of acid reflux.
Yes, you can drink water after taking RefluxRaft but it will temporarily displace the raft formed by the alginate. However, the protective raft will shortly float back to the top of the stomach contents and provide the protective benefit and relief of reflux symptoms.
RefluxRaft does not require refrigeration but can be stored in the fridge for a pudding-like consistency. When stored in the refrigerator, RefluxRaft can last over two years.
