Gaviscon Advance Peppermint is one of the best options when it comes down to the Gaviscon range. This is because of the higher concentration of sodium alginate. Alginate is actually extracted from seaweed so it\'s totally natural which is nice. What alginate does is create a foam layer on top of the stomach contents which is what helps to prevent acid reflux or pepsin being refluxed.
