About Sodium Alginate

Sodium alginate, a natural substance derived from seaweed, has become an increasingly popular ingredient in products aimed at managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and heartburn. The unique properties of sodium alginate make it especially effective for relieving these common digestive issues.

How Sodium Alginate Works

When ingested, sodium alginate reacts with stomach acid to form a gel-like raft that floats on top of the stomach contents. This raft acts as a barrier, preventing acid from rising back up into the esophagus, which is the cause of heartburn and other reflux-related discomfort.

Watch the demonstration to see how ØBEX forms this natural protective barrier in real-time.

Why Sodium Alginate is Beneficial

Rapid Relief

Sodium alginate works quickly to form a protective barrier, often providing immediate relief from heartburn.

Natural and Safe

As a natural extract from seaweed, sodium alginate is generally well-tolerated and considered safe for most people, including pregnant women.

Non-Systemic Action

Unlike proton pump inhibitors or other acid-suppressing medications, sodium alginate does not affect the overall acidity of the stomach.

Complementary to Other Treatments

Sodium alginate can be used alongside other treatments for GERD or heartburn.

👶 Safe for Pregnancy

Natural alginate therapy is considered safe during pregnancy when other heartburn medications may not be recommended. Enjoy your favorite foods without worry.

What Our Customers Say

Real experiences from people who've found relief with our product

I had some spicy burps after eating Thai food. I took a packet, and it worked! The burps got better right away and stopped after 15-20 minutes. Highly recommend!

I used to have reflux before OBEX, but not anymore.

I could barely tolerate other indigestion and reflux products. I found them chalky or pasty and generally avoided them unless absolutely desperate or in agony. Since finding Obex I now keep on top of my refux making it a regular part of my daily life. It works nearly instantly and is a pleasant consistency. The flavours are great and not overpowering. My favorite is orange cream. I'm glad I found this product and I highly recommend to friends and family who suffer with reflux.
