Take ALA with water and another chelator, like DMSA... On an empty stomach.

Whoops. Misread and thought you said Algin. I'll just leave this for future reference.

Yes. Algin binds to mercury, barium, strontium, and other heavy metals. It stays in the digestive system and prevents redistribution/reabsorption in the colon. Here is a page with more details:

We use it and it's possibly our best-selling product today.

It's not a conventional blood chelator, so you should use it when chelating with DMSA, DMPS, sulfur, or when using an expellant like cilantro.
