Product overview
About Heartburn Relief
The classic alginate raft formula in a sugar-free peppermint suspension: sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate working together for fast, effective relief from heartburn and acid indigestion. The big 500ml bottle keeps the kitchen cupboard stocked.
How a raft beats a tablet
Alginate reacts with stomach acid to form a floating gel raft on top of the stomach contents — a physical barrier that stops acid washing back up the food pipe — while the two antacids neutralise what's already burning. That's why alginate suspensions suit reflux where simple antacid tablets fall short.
How to take
Take after meals and at bedtime — the classic reflux flashpoints — as directed on the label. Shake well before use. Suitable for adults and children over 12. Sugar-free peppermint flavour.
Good to know
Contains sodium: worth a pharmacist chat if you're on a very low-salt diet or have heart or kidney disease. Heartburn most days for three weeks or more, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained weight loss means a GP appointment.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from antacid tablets?
The alginate forms a physical raft that floats on the stomach contents and blocks acid from rising — tablets only neutralise. For reflux that climbs the food pipe, the raft is the point.
When should I take it?
After meals and at bedtime — the moments reflux strikes — as directed on the label. Shake the bottle well first.
When is heartburn a GP matter?
If it hits most days for three weeks or more, or comes with difficulty swallowing, vomiting or weight loss — book the GP promptly.
