The article is full of popups, but it's informative since it explains that this is a medical device, so it received FDA clearance - not FDA approval as for Rx drugs.

The main ingredients are apparently sodium alginate and chitosan*. I tried to find a full ingredient list since I would like to know if there are any corn ingredients or other allergens, but was unable to find it.

I'm guessing Landolina was using a sodium alginate GERD product when he got his idea. I tried one for GERD - did not seem to do much for me.
