How does Deflux work?

Deflux è Deflux is an anti-reflux food supplement whose formulation based on Sodium alginate, Sodium bicarbonate and Melatonin, promotes gastrointestinal well-being, counteracting the symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux. The characteristics of the elements that make up the product are:

• Sodium alginate . It is a chemical compound formed from the sodium salt of alginic acid, with minimum formula NaC6H7O6. Extracted from the cell walls of algae, it looks like a gum. It has numerous uses in both the food and pharmaceutical fields. Once ingested, the suspension formed by sodium alginate reacts with the hydrochloric acid present in the stomach, forming a covering of the consistency of an alginic acid gel at the level of the cardia. This gelled structure of sodium alginate, with pH characteristics close to neutral, floats on top of the food present in the stomach, effectively preventing gastroesophageal reflux;
• Sodium bicarbonate . Sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate or monosodium carbonate (or sodium bicarbonate which is the more common name, but which has been deprecated by the IUPAC) is a sodium salt of carbonic acid. Unlike carbonate, hydrogen carbonate retains a hydrogen ion of the corresponding acid;
• Melatonin . It is an epiphyseal hormone, also secreted by extraglandular tissue. Experimental studies on animals indicate that the hormone increases the concentration of aminobutyric acid and serotonin in the midbrain and hypothalamus and increases the activity of pyridoxal kinase, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of aminobutyric acid, dopamine and serotonin.
