How Gaviscon works

Our main ingredient, sodium alginate, is derived from natural seaweed which is sustainably harvested. It creates a protective barrier or raft over the Stomach contents (which is mostly acid, but also pepsin and bile). Some Gaviscon products also contain antacids, which turn excess acid into water and other neutral substances.
