Review: Easy to use and works really well - Great product. I use this to make energy gels for running and cycling Review: It’s a useful barrier for acid reflux. It is what it says it is. - I bought to create a barrier in my stomach due to acute reflux, and this did that. It’s weird stuff, but palatable. I stick it in a blender with some other bits and bobs and then.. as long as I don’t then drink or eat after.. it does that. The residue gel type stuff it creates does then get attached to the inside of the blender and it takes special attention to make sure it’s clean and there is a gel type substance that leaves a blob in the washing up bowl or sink, and so be sure to take that out and out it in the bin, as washing it down the sink is not going to be easy and definitely won’t help with the fatburgs that blocks the drains etc. But.. when I can bring myself to making it and drinking it (it did feel a bit like swallowing frogspawn (though I apologise for creating that image) but as I don’t tolerate antacids and this does actually work better IMO, I do still recommend it for that, and it demonstrates that this is what it’s meant to be, if you’re buying it for other purposes. ## Features - HIGH QUALITY PREMIUM GRADE - IDEAL FOR SPHERIFICATION, THICKENING AND IMPROVING TEXTURE. - USED BY MOLECULAR CHEFS FOR SPHERIFICATION - VEGETARIAN, VEGAN, HALAL AND KOSHER FRIENDLY.

It is what it says it is. *by A***H on 2 March 2026* I bought to create a barrier in my stomach due to acute reflux, and this did that. It’s weird stuff, but palatable.

I use it to make my own alginate-based antacid (10 g Alginate, 3-4g Calcium Carbonate, 5g Sodium Bicarbonate in 200 ml of boiled then cooled water). It also doesn't affect my gut-brain axis like normal Gaviscon/Peptac does. ## Frequently Bought Together - Special Ingredients Sodium Alginate 100g Molecular Gastronomy Ingredient - Calcium Lactate Powder 100g Premium Quality - Vegans & Vegetarians, Non-GMO, Gluten Free - Recyclable Container - Special Ingredients Agar Agar 100g Premium Quality Powder Vegan Gelatine, European, Suitable for Vegan's & Vegetarian's, Non GMO, Gluten Free, Recyclable Container --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47995758-sodium-alginate-100g-molecular-gastronomy-ingredient](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47995758-sodium-alginate-100g-molecular-gastronomy-ingredient) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
