RefluxRaft Acid Reflux Alginate Therapy, Midnight Berry, 10 oz Tube, 2 Pack

It’s rare that supplements ever make a difference for me, but this stuff really works. It helps relieve silent reflux symptoms at night, less wakeups, more deep sleep, but also helps me have less symptoms during the day. It has the appearance and consistency of a certain substance that most men don’t usually like to swallow, but when stored in the fridge it’s tolerable and the taste is ok.

My 65-year-old mother has had a persistent cough for the last four years that comes and goes. Over the last six months, her cough had gotten significantly worse to the point where she could not sleep at night, causing her to feel more ill. Within that six month period, she was overseas for three of those months. The overseas doctors did multiple chest xrays and didn't see anything particularly wrong with her, but prescribed her antibiotics twice in that 3 month period. After finally coming back home, mom's cough got better for a week and a half. We thought the environment was causing her cough to become worse. However, after the week and a half passed, the cough returned with a vengeance. She was now coughing so much, so loud, and so hard that none of us in our apartment were getting any rest throughout the days or nights, so fed up, I took her to City MD, where she had an xray done, appeared to have some scarring on her lungs, was diagnosed with pneumonia and referred to a pulmanologist. She was put on a mix of two different antibiotics, bringing her up to being prescribed and take a whopping 4 different antibiotics within a four month timespan. With the antibiotics from CityMD, she was also told to take SafeTussin as a cough suppressant. SafeTussin and the antibiotics worked for a week, during which time we visited a pulmanologist, who agreed with CityMD's diagnosis after reviewing the xrays. Within a few days, mom's cough came back, again. She was coughing so hard that it looked like she was choking. She now had shortness of breath with the cough. Her throat was raw from the coughing and her mouth was blistered. Within 10 days, we returned to the pulmanologist, did another xray, and were so frustrated because nothing seemed to help. Finally, the pulmanologist started asking questions about whether mom feels heartburn (no), if she feels acid reflux (very often), if she coughs a lot (obviously), if her voice is hoarse throughout the day (usually when she wakes), and a series of other questions. The diagnosis of pneumonia was changed and she was diagnosed with LPR, told to change her diet, get a wedge pillow, and take her omeprazole more consistently (she was really bad about that last one). All of that was done and her cough still was not easing up. We were told that it would take a while for the cough to go away, but mom and I were both at our wits end with the lack of sleep. I did some research on what helps with LPR and came across that Alginate really helps but forming a barrier over the stomach acid. Then I came across this product and read the ingredients list, which looked relatively clean. I bought the melatonin version first because it has the fastest delivery and God knows she needed the sleep that would come with it. The first night she took two teaspoons and SLEPT for two hours straight without coughing!!! The next day, I ordered the regular non-melatonin version of RefluxRaft. She started taking it after her meals, and her coughing decreased significantly more. She kept up this routine of taking omeprazole before her morning meal, taking RefluxRaft after her meals, taking RefluxRaft (melatonin) about two hours before bed and thank God, Within two weeks, her cough was almost fully gone. One thing I will say, if you have a bad cough, the lemon/ginger flavor might aggravate it. With LPR, it is best to avoid citrus flavors because they will aggravate the cough more. Mom has been using the berry flavor. Thankfully, her diabetes has not suffered any negative side effects by RefluxRaft. If you stayed towards the end of this review, I hope it provided you with some helpful information! I'll leave this same review on the other RefluxRaft product I purchased for mom.

I have silent reflux and tried this. It works! The taste isn’t too bad. I had to get used to it but it was doable. I would rather have to deal with taste than cough all night. Ingredients are clean. Easy to use. I just kept a measuring spoon with it. For the price I would think it would be neat to have a measuring spoon come with it. But, it works and I will buy again.

I’ve been using RefluxRaft’s Midnight Berry alginate therapy for about six months now, and it has worked very well for managing nighttime reflux. The flavor is smooth and easy to take, and the thick gel forms a comfortable barrier without any chalky aftertaste. One thing worth noting is that I’ve experienced no side effects at all during the time I’ve been using it, which makes it easy to keep in my routine. The sugar‑free formula and added melatonin fit nicely with its purpose as a nighttime reflux support product, and the two‑pack provides plenty of servings. Overall, it’s been a reliable, easy‑to‑use option that continues to work consistently for me.

The taste leaves a little to be desired. I bought the one with melatonin and that was not good for me personally. The product works, just wish it tasted better. I got the berry flavor. I recently had the opp to try the lemon ginger flavor and good grief it's awful, tastes like soap. Definitely stick with the berry one.

This works when taken at night before bedtime. I prefer it to the usual brand names like gaviscon. Before taking my evening dose, I chew a few standard anti-acid pills. I wake up in the a.m. feeling just fine. I prefer the raft method utilized here to other standard methods. It tastes great too especially if you like ginger.

Wish I’d tried a different flavor first, because the midnight berry flavor didn’t work for me. It ended up making me feel much worse, and I was up all night clearing my throat. I looked online and on Reddit, and several other people have had the same issue with this flavor. I even asked Google AI, and it said, “Yes, the berry-flavored RefluxRaft can sometimes irritate a hypersensitive throat and make an LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux) flare feel worse, and “…if you are actively managing a sensitive LPR flare, the original Lemon Ginger flavor is often considered the safest and most therapeutic starting point.” Wish I’d checked before buying it, because it was expensive and now it’s just going to go to waste, and I can’t justify buying another one. Thirty five dollars down the drain. I’m really sad. 🫤

This works great for LPR and nighttime coughing. Unfortunately it made me nauseous. Researched and it could be the Melatonin so I've ordered the lemon. Hopefully it works!
