Nutritist has introduced in capsule form to the US market the clinical strength formula of sodium alginate, calcium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate for natural acid reflux relief.
—
Most people are familiar with the discomfort of acid reflux or heartburn, often triggered by a heavy or spicy meal. This unpleasant sensation in the chest results from stomach acid rising into the esophagus. While over-the-counter medications can provide relief, they often come with long-term risks, especially when used frequently. Nutritist's new supplement Refluxter aims to offer a safer and more effective solution.
Sarv Kannapiran, the founder and CEO of Nutritist has a rich academic background with an undergraduate degree in biology from Williams College and an MBA in finance from Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. His inspiration for creating Refluxter came during his final year of medical school when he was diagnosed with GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). His doctor recommended indefinite use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), but concerned about their long-term effects, Kannapiran sought an alternative.
Through extensive research, Kannapiran discovered alginate, a substance derived from seaweed. Widely used in Europe since the 1970s, alginate forms a temporary foam barrier at the stomach-esophagus junction when combined with calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. Kannapiran states that “this foam barrier blocks acid reflux for up to four hours, providing relief without the risks associated with prolonged PPI use”. Kannapiran experimented with this discovery in his kitchen, eventually creating a formula that effectively controlled his GERD symptoms and allowed him to wean off prescription medications. Encouraged by friends who benefited from his concoction, he decided to commercialize the product.
After receiving his M.D., Kannapiran worked in a hospital finance department in order to raise seed capital for his future venture. Shortly thereafter, Kannapiran founded Nutritist with Refluxter as its flagship product. Unlike other antacids, which can be messy gels or sweetened solutions, Refluxter comes in capsule form and is a sugar-free, preservative-free, sodium alginate based supplement.
Refluxter offers a unique approach to managing acid reflux. Instead of merely treating symptoms, it prevents acid from damaging the esophagus by creating a temporary foam barrier. Safe for long-term use, Refluxter is based on over 40 years of clinical research on alginate. This makes it an innovative product in the U.S. market, though it is well-known in Europe.
Numerous studies back the use of alginate for LPR (silent reflux) and acid reflux issues. For instance, one study showed that an alginate-antacid preparation was significantly more effective than a non-raft-forming antacid in reducing reflux symptoms. Another study compared the efficacy of alginate therapy for silent reflux versus PPI in reducing symptoms and signs of LPR. After two months of treatment, LPR symptoms and signs were significantly reduced irrespective of the treatment. Therefore, the study researchers concluded that alginate was non-inferior to PPI and may represent an alternative treatment to PPI for the treatment of LPR. Moreover, alginate-based reflux suppressants are safe to take long term and safe for pregnant women and children, making them a versatile and reliable option.
Refluxter has been well-received, especially among pregnant women, due to its natural, seaweed-derived formula, free from sweeteners, parabens, and aluminum commonly found in traditional antacids. This makes it the preferred choice for those seeking a natural and safe LPR reflux treatment option or for those seeking one for acid reflux’s many complications such as Barrett’s Esophagus.
Unlike traditional antacids that only treat symptoms, this supplement can help prevent damage to the esophagus from acid reflux. Thus, Refluxter represents a significant advancement in the management of acid reflux. With strong clinical backing, this unique supplement offers a safer alternative to traditional medications, reflecting Kannapiran's innovative spirit and providing hope for those seeking relief from acid reflux without the risks associated with long-term medication use. For anyone struggling with heartburn, especially pregnant women, Refluxter offers a new, safe, and effective solution.
Kannapiran envisions expanding Nutritist’s product line with new supplements already in development. The positive feedback from Refluxter’s users fuels his passion, as they appreciate the product's seamless integration into their busy lives. Kannapiran states that receiving numerous happy testimonials from customers via email is “what keeps him going”. Nutritist's ultimate goal is to provide evidence-based supplements that offer safe and effective solutions for common health issues.
