PPIs and antacids do what they're designed to do — reduce acid production or neutralise it after the fact. For millions of people, that's enough.
But for others — the ones still clearing their throat mid-sentence, still waking at 2 AM despite doing everything right — the acid was never the whole story.
Prolonged acid exposure damages the lining of the oesophagus and throat. Once that tissue is inflamed and sensitised, it stays reactive. To temperature. To swallowing. To normal digestion. Reducing the acid stops further damage — but it does nothing to calm tissue that's already in that state.
That's what Reflux Shield is designed to address. Sodium Alginate — derived from natural seaweed — reacts with stomach acid to form a thick, floating gel raft: a physical layer that sits between the acid and the damaged tissue while it recovers. Not suppressing acid. Not neutralising it. Sitting on top of it — protecting the surface long enough for the hypersensitivity to settle.
The same mechanism behind clinically studied alginate therapy, combined with Inulin for gut lining support and Turmeric Extract for its well-studied anti-inflammatory properties.
