Key FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: What exactly is Sodium Alga Acid (Sodium Alginate)?
A: It's a natural polysaccharide (carbohydrate polymer) extracted primarily from the cell walls of brown seaweed. It's the sodium salt form of alginic acid, widely used for its unique gelling and thickening properties.
Q: Is this product truly natural?
A: Absolutely! Our Premium Sodium Alga Acid is derived solely from sustainably harvested brown seaweed through a gentle extraction and purification process, preserving its natural origin.
Q: Why is the "Food Grade" designation important?
A: "Food Grade" signifies the highest purity standards suitable for human consumption. Our product meets stringent global food safety regulations (like FDA GRAS, EU approval) and is free from harmful contaminants.
Q: What are the main health benefits associated with Sodium Alga Acid?
A: As a soluble dietary fiber, it supports digestive health by promoting regularity and acting as a prebiotic. It may also help manage cholesterol levels, support blood sugar balance, and contribute to satiety/weight management. Its gel-forming ability can create protective barriers.
Q: How is Sodium Alga Acid used in food?
