Description: Product DescriptionOur StoryOnce upon a time, a renowned and passionate chef from the Napa Valley visited a reflux expert at one of the top medical schools in the country. The chef suffered daily from the pain and consequences of acid reflux. And the doctor, struggling to help others with this affliction, recognized an opportunity. Together, they sought a solution and created an answer.Thus was born the cutting edge collaboration that is Reflux Gourmet. The doctor made it work, and the chef made it good.Nature's Answer to RefluxAlginate therapy harnesses the natural healing ability of kelp. Alginate is an all-natural polymer harvested from brown seaweed (kelp). Alginates have been used safely in the food industry for over 100 years. Unlike other treatment options, in addition to relieving the pain of reflux, alginate therapy actually stops reflux from happening.How Does It Work?Once taken, the alginate forms a protective coating in your throat, esophagus, and stomach that can help relieve or even prevent manifestations of reflux (both GERD and LPR). When the alginate reaches your stomach, it forms a protective gel "raft" that floats on the top of your stomach contents and blocks the reflux of your stomach contents into your esophagus.When Do I Take It?Alginate therapy works best when taken after meals and before bed to help seal the stomach from the esophagus and reduce the risk of stomach contents refluxing into the esophagus. The alginate gel “raft” will last for a few hours, giving your stomach time (under normal circumstances) to clear the food after meals. The alginate raft will then dissolve and digest.Alginate & Weight LossAlginate therapy is also an effective tool to help promote healthy weight loss and appetite control. The seaweed-derived fiber can help relieve hunger pains and can enhance feelings of satiety (being full). The consumption of alginate before meals has been shown to reduce mealtime caloric intake by reducing hunger pains and helping to suppress your appetite.What Makes Reflux Gourmet Different?100% ALL-NATURALGlycerin FREE, potassium FREE, and paraben FREENo known side effectsMade entirely from all-natural ingredients considered safe for children and during pregnancyHelps relieve hunger pains associated with intermittent fastingAll-natural flavor designed by our iconic chefWho We AreWe at Reflux Gourmet are dedicated to helping those who suffer by developing all-natural treatments.

Reflux Gourmet’s Proprietary Alginate Complex (Calcium Pantothenate, Sodium Alginate, Sodium Bicarbonate), dextrose, deionized water, natural flavor, grapefruit seed extract, polylysine.How much alginate is in each serving? Every 5 ml contains 425 mg of Reflux Gourmet’s Proprietary Alginate Complex. Due to the proprietary nature of our formula, we cannot disclose exact amounts. We have come to understand that the quality of the alginate far outweighs the quantity when it comes to raft formation and protecting the esophagus. We are proud that the integrity of our all-natural raft consistently outperforms all the synthetic rafts of our competitors in lab comparisons. We are committed to remaining 100% all-natural while maintaining such stellar quality of performance.Why is there sugar in your product? Alginate tastes terrible; the sugar plays a part in covering that up. More importantly, dextrose is one of nature’s original preservatives. Our product is 100% all-natural alginate and we would have to resort to synthetic preservatives (such as paraben, a known hormone disruptor linked to certain cancers) if we removed the dextrose, and we are committed to remaining entirely natural and safe.Is there iodine in your product? No.Is there potassium in your product? No.How much sodium is in the recommended dose? 40 mg of sodium per 5 ml.Are Reflux Gourmet’s Rescue products gluten-free? Vegan? Kosher? And more? Our plant-based products are vegan, gluten-free, and meet kosher requirements (though not kosher certified). Our products are also free from common allergens (such as peanuts, soybeans, milk, eggs, fish, crustacean, tree nuts, and wheat), as well as any artificial additives (including sweetener, flavoring, or color), and dairy-free. Reflux Gourmet’s products are proud to be all-natural, non-GMO, made in the USA, cruelty-free.Can I take the product with medication and/or supplements? It is best not to take our product with medication and/or supplements – in case your pill was to get caught in the raft, though it would still be digested and absorbed. Take medication before taking the product, or four hours after taking our product. Our products do not interfere with the actions of any medications/supplements, just remember to work around the raft that is protecting your esophagus.Is grapefruit seed extract the same as grapefruit juice in terms of interacting with medications? While patients taking certain medications are warned of grapefruit juice, grapefruit seed extract is a different substance. The capacity for GSE to produce interactions with medications remains unknown. Like all botanical products, GSE is a complex material with numerous phytochemicals that remain largely uncharacterized with respect to pharmacokinetics. That being said, any decisions regarding medication regimen and potential for interactions should be made in partnership with your treating physician.Can I still take Reflux Gourmet’s Rescue Products if I am on proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)? Studies are showing evidence that even while being treated with PPIs, there is consistently an “acid pocket” on top of your stomach contents. Thus, those still experiencing discomfort while on PPIs may feel relief using our product as it would be activated by this very “acid pocket.”Do I have to take 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of the product? One teaspoon may be perfect for some, others may require more or less. Adjust the dose to the lowest amount necessary to meet your needs.What happens if I eat or drink after taking the product? You can eat or drink after taking our products without any negative consequences. The raft has the consistency of a gel, so food and liquid will pass through the raft with the assistance of gravity and normal esophageal movement.Can I dilute the product to make it less viscous? Yes, but the thickness of the product provides optimal protection for your throat and esophagus. Diluting the product may reduce the protective function and/or length of action.Does the mint and chocolate flavoring in Mint Chocolate Rescue promote reflux? The amounts of all-natural mint and chocolate extract CANNOT promote reflux. Instead, our physicians have created the only “mint and chocolate” that is actually good for reflux!When I received my order, the product was excessively hot / cold from the shipping process, is it still okay to use? Allow the product to return to room temperature before consuming and the function will remain unaffected (though the color may have darkened).Where is the expiration date? The FDA does not require an expiration date on nutritional supplements. The date of manufacture is stamped into the end of the tube seal as part of the lot number. The first two digits are the year, the second two digits are the month. (A product produced February of 2021 would carry a number beginning 2102.) If at any time your product appears compromised, please do not consume it.
