Alginic acid

Alginate is non-toxic and is not reabsorbed into the rest of the body       from the gastrointestinal tract. Alginate is resistant to stomach acidity     and the enzymes present in the intestinal tract. Has no adverse effect        on the ability of humans to assimilate calcium and other natural       minerals. That is why there is no family of foods more protective        against radiation and environmental pollutants than sea vegetables.

Polution, free radicals, radiation from the sun, smoke and other environmental pollutants, toxic heavy metals, and chemicals in               food and water.

Several people now using seaweed for this purpose already some time.     To compensate for using polluted food, compensate for air, water, land    and other sources. The removal of toxins from there bodies becoming   more and more important in time.                                

Brown seaweed�s such as kelp, rockweed are an important source of  natural alginic acid. Able to binds with the toxins in the intestines   rendering them indigestible and carries them out of the system.
Ongoing studies found that marine seaweeds processed toxins to a        much less harmful form, and in a way that did not appear to harm the seaweed itself.. The biochemistry involved, say, is similar to that found      in many land organisms, but more powerful and effective. Until now,         the capability of marine seaweeds to deal with these organic  toxins         had never before been demonstrated. They did not look at the        absorption of heavy metals but a remarkable and previously unknown capacity to detoxify serious organic pollutants such as TNT or          polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The study is looking at not just TNT, which is commonly found in munitions, but at polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as naphthalene, benzopyrene and other PAHs            that are sometimes associated with the use of motorcraft or                   other causes.
