Companies with Sodium Alginate

Showing 10 of 12
Sodium alginate comes from brown seaweed. In antacid products it reacts with stomach acid to form a gel layer that floats over the stomach contents, which is why it is used for acidity and reflux symptoms.
Physicians and gastroenterologists prescribe it, and gynaecologists often use alginate suspensions for heartburn in their patients. Chemists everywhere keep antacid liquids, and counter sales add a good deal of volume to prescription sales.
Suspensions, Tablets and Antacid Blends
Listings on this portal show sodium alginate as:
- Syrups and suspensions, the main format
- Chewable or plain tablets
- Dry syrups in a few listings
Typical partners are sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, which produce the raft effect, along with simethicone for gas and magaldrate as an extra antacid.
Comparing Gastro Franchise Offers
Antacid suspensions are a crowded segment, so taste, bottle look and price matter. Ask for a sample bottle and check the flavour and consistency yourself. Look at the company's wider gastro list, such as proton pump inhibitors, prokinetics, probiotics and laxatives. Compare PTR, schemes and margin. Get your monopoly area in writing. Check bottle sealing and measuring cup quality. Ask about shelf life on dispatch and how leaking or expired bottles are returned. Ask what promotional material the company provides for physicians and gynaecologists.
Making Your Own Alginate Suspension
Brief the manufacturer on the combination, flavour, bottle size and minimum order quantity. Agree on bottle material, cap and seal type and carton design. Ask for stability data covering the full shelf life, since suspensions can separate over time, along with batch analysis certificates and microbial test results. The unit should hold a drug manufacturing licence with an oral liquids section, product permission for the formula and Schedule M GMP compliance. Taste trials with a few chemists before the full launch can save you from slow moving stock.
