Sodium Alginate by Genestra provides a pure source of this excellent chelator known for its ability to bind to heavy metals, including radioactive particles and everyday environmental toxins. Research shows heavy metals, cigarette smoke and other toxins cause extensive damage to the liver, kidneys, lungs, heart and brain cells, and weaken immune defenses. Sodium alginate, an extract from brown algae, is known for its ability to bind to strontium, lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, barium and aluminum. These toxic materials deposit into kidneys, brain, liver, bones and marrow, and interfere with proper vitamin and mineral utilization.Sodium Alginate is indicated for all autoimmune disorders, including chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia; and for attention deficient and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, gastrointestinal disorders and hypercholesterolemia. Sodium Alginate is essential for any heavy metal detoxification program, especially for barium, cadmium, lead, strontium and mercury, and for toxic environmental fumes. The capsules are 100% pure vegetable-sourced. Product ideal for vegans.
