If Algin is so essential for detox, the "wonder-product", then by reason any company that cared about having this available to mercury poisoned people, would make it suitable for as many people as possible (animal derivative free, gluten free etc). They would want to do this out of belief, out of principle.

If they switched the capsules, and many companies no longer use gelatin, you and everyone here would still buy it. But, the difference would be, so could vegetarians. If it's a dollar or two more expensive because it costs more to make,surely people wouldn't begrudge that? I already pay a lot more for things because of my beliefs i.e. equivalent $3.00 for a litre of Rice Milk, which is a lot of money when you don't have much, but those who truly believe in something, will pay for it.

NSP owes me nothing - but by the same token, I owe then nothing either.

I apologise if I was off-hand. I am going through a difficult time right now. But as a vegetarian, my opinion of NSP is not the same as yours.
