Sodium Alginate

Sodium Alginate. Sodium Alginate is the sodium salt of alginic acid. It is derived entirely from sea kelp. Sodium Alginate is a high fiber food (85% dietary fiber) that can be used as a supplement to a well balanced diet. Sodium Alginate is 100% natural. The alginates found in kelp may have a soothing and cleansing effect on the digestive tract.

Sodium Alginate may also help prevent the absorption of toxic metals like mercury, cadmium and plutonium, and may encourage normal elimination.

“The alginates have been shown to bind tightly to strontium, barium, cadmium and radium so that these toxins pass out of the body with little or no absorption. It also binds with lead, but not as completely. Ouch-ouch disease, characterized by painful joints and believed to be caused by oral cadmium exposure, has been successfully treated with alginates in Japan. Reduction in the absorption of strontium has been noted in children given an alginate derivative. Retention of radioactive barium has been reduced in rats fed sodium alginate derivatives. In one human trial, 10 grams of sodium alginate ameliorated acute radiation effects due to exposure to radiation doses of 50 to 3,000 rads.”1
