Mode of actions
Potassium depletion happens when the body loses more potassium, through urine or the digestive system, than it takes in. Taking potassium supplements can help correct this shortage. Potassium is important because it helps send nerve signals in the heart, brain, and muscles, and it also helps muscles contract.
Alginic acid is used along with an antacid or an H2-blocker to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). When alginic acid comes into contact with stomach acid, it forms a thick gel. This gel creates a barrier that helps prevent acid from flowing back up into the esophagus.
