About Nature’s Sunshine Algin
Nature’s Sunshine Algin harnesses the power of the ocean to support your digestive wellness. This unique supplement contains sodium alginate, a naturally occurring polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed that has been valued for its beneficial properties for decades.
When sodium alginate encounters the acidic environment of your stomach, it undergoes a fascinating transformation. This mucilaginous fiber forms a gel-like substance that can help create a protective barrier within your digestive system. This natural process has made algin a popular choice among those seeking gentle digestive support.
The Power of Brown Seaweed
Brown seaweed, the source of our sodium alginate, grows in the pristine waters of the ocean where it absorbs valuable minerals and develops its unique gel-forming properties. The alginate found in these marine plants serves as their structural support system – and now it can support yours too.
The bulking action of alginate may help encourage normal elimination patterns, making it a valuable addition to your daily wellness routine. Unlike harsh synthetic alternatives, this natural fiber works gently with your body’s own processes to support digestive comfort.
How Algin Works in Your Body
Research has shown that sodium alginate can form what scientists call a “raft” when it meets stomach acid – a buoyant gel that floats on top of stomach contents. This unique property has made alginate-based products popular in countries around the world for digestive comfort support.
Each capsule of Nature’s Sunshine Algin provides you with this remarkable marine-derived ingredient in a convenient, easy-to-take form. The gelatin capsules ensure reliable delivery of the pure benefits of sodium alginate.

Recommended Usage
Take 2 capsules three times daily between meals. Drink at least two glasses of water or juice with each serving to ensure proper hydration and optimal function.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sodium alginate is a natural polysaccharide fiber extracted from brown seaweed. When it encounters stomach acid, it forms a gel-like substance that can help create a protective barrier and support normal digestive function through its natural bulking action.
Algin is most effective when taken between meals on a relatively empty stomach. This allows the sodium alginate to interact properly with stomach acid and form its beneficial gel. Always take with plenty of water as directed.
The sodium alginate ingredient is plant-based and derived from seaweed, making it suitable for vegetarians. However, the capsules contain gelatin, so this product may not be appropriate for vegans or those avoiding animal-derived ingredients.
It’s important to drink at least two glasses of water or juice with each serving of Algin. Adequate fluid intake is essential for the proper function of this fiber supplement and helps prevent digestive discomfort.
As with any supplement, consult your healthcare provider before taking Algin if you are on medications or other supplements. The gel-forming properties of alginate may affect the absorption of other substances, so timing of intake may be important.
