Yes, but only if the RefluxRaft product is recommended by a medical practitioner as treatment for a specific medical condition diagnosed by a physician. Otherwise, the cost of the RefluxRaft product is not a reimbursable medical expense. You should consult with your doctor and HSA, FSA, or HRA administrator to confirm what is covered under your specific plan and what documentation would be required to substantiate an expense claim.
Important Note: RefluxRaft products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. While we can process some HSA/FSA/HRA cards online during checkout, we are unable to confirm if a purchase is a medically covered expense. Completing checkout with your HSA, FSA, or HRA card does not guarantee that the expense is eligible for coverage. You will need to consult with your doctor and HAS, FSA, or HRA administrator to ensure that the products you purchase are covered.
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, 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.
No, unlike other alginate products on the market, RefluxRaft is sugar and articifical sweetener free. RefluxRaft gets some sweetness from glycerine, a plant-based preservative that is a non-toxic and considered safe by the Environmental Working Group.
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. 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. Even though the alginate is derived from the sea (Kelp is a seaweed), there is no iodine or mercury in RefluxRaft.
Studies of alginate use in pregnancy have shown no risks. RefluxRaft is the highest quality alginate. 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.
25mg of sodium is in a 5mL dose of RefluxRaft; this is less than a pinch of table salt.
RefluxRaft does not need to be stored cold, but some have found it tasting/seeming similar to a pudding when taken cold. RefluxRaft will last over two years if stored cold.
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.
RefluxRaft is a natural supplement that can be taken as often as you like, but we recommend after meals (particularly larger, spicy, meals) and at bedtimes for a total of 4 times per day. It can also be taken after alcohol, which can be a particularly potent stimulator of acid
reflux.
The ingredients in RefluxRaft should not negatively interact with prescription medications or supplements, but the absorption may be delayed if taken simultaneously. However, you should always check with your medical provider or pharmacist for any concerns.
The serious side effects that you may be referring to that are 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).
No! RefluxRaft is an all-natural, vegan product which does not contain any dairy, gluten, corn, soy, or derivatives!
