Here's a page that explains what Algin is and what it does:

Algin

Personally, I think this is one of the most important supplements a person can use for heavy metal toxicity, and it seems to work very well for mercury. In a nutshell, Algin helps absorb heavy metals in the intestine and prevents their reuptake (or reabsorption). Without something in the intestine that will absorb or bind to the heavy metals, you run the risk of these toxins being reabsorbed back into the body to be redeposited all over again.

Let me know if you have any questions about Algin or want more details about how I use it and what it does for me. I'll be glad to share. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
