It forms a gel in the presence of calcium ions. Sodium Alginate is a gelling agent that dilutes when cold with strong agitation. It can be used to create soft, firm, ambient and heat-resistant gels and to produce foams. Sodium Alginate is also commonly used as a thickener, emulsifier and texture improver.

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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Special Ingredients | | Item form | Powder | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package weight | 0.28 Kilograms | | Specialty | GMO Free, Gluten Free, Non-irradiated, Vegan, Vegetarian | | Unit count | 250.0 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Special Ingredients - **Diet type:** Vegan - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Specialty:** Gluten Free - **Unit count:** 100 Grams ## Images ![Special Ingredients Sodium Alginate 250g Molecular Gastronomy Ingredient, Premium Quality, Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gK1mxNb6L.jpg) ![Special Ingredients Sodium Alginate 250g Molecular Gastronomy Ingredient, Premium Quality, Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gDwqDjZAL.jpg) ![Special Ingredients Sodium Alginate 250g Molecular Gastronomy Ingredient, Premium Quality, Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81No3Wmfb3L.jpg) ![Special Ingredients Sodium Alginate 250g Molecular Gastronomy Ingredient, Premium Quality, Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oeCw9r5WL.jpg) ![Special Ingredients Sodium Alginate 250g Molecular Gastronomy Ingredient, Premium Quality, Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819iFhRyiDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use and works really well *by J***S on 5 November 2025* Great product.

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.hr/products/767738951-special-ingredients-sodium-alginate-250g-molecular-gastronomy-ingredient-premium-quality](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/767738951-special-ingredients-sodium-alginate-250g-molecular-gastronomy-ingredient-premium-quality) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
