MAHARAFT 1BOTTLE

About

This product is an advanced alginate-based raft-forming agent specifically engineered to provide highly effective and rapid relief from acid reflux and heartburn. Upon oral administration, the alginate component reacts with the stomach acid to form a robust, viscous gel. This gel then floats on the surface of the stomach contents, creating a physical barrier, often referred to as a "raft." This protective raft effectively prevents the reflux of irritating stomach acid, pepsin, and bile into the esophagus, thereby shielding the delicate esophageal lining from irritation and potential damage. Many formulations also incorporate antacids, such as calcium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, which provide immediate neutralization of existing stomach acid. This dual action delivers both rapid symptomatic relief and sustained protection against reflux episodes, making it a highly effective solution for managing symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and indigestion.
