Good product, as advertised

The product arrived quickly and was as advertised. I thought I'd try sodium alginate after reading that it's the main ingredient of Gaviscon Advance. Several studies have indicated that Gaviscon Advance (G.A.) is the most effective treatment for LPR. (Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor) Since it's only sold in Europe, G.A. is difficult and costly to acquire in the States. My DIY version is simple: about a 2:1 ratio of sodium alginate to baking soda in a small amount of water. That's about 1/8 tsp sodium alginate in 1 tablespoon of water. I have to add the sodium alginate very slowly to the liquid, as it globs easily. I use a shot glass, and stir rapidly with a chop-stick while shaking the powder in. Then I let sit for at least half an hour to fully gel up. Ideally, it should be about the consistency of molasses. I take it just before bed, and other times as needed. Along with avoiding acid foods and eating smaller portions, sodium alginate has effectively controlled my symptoms of LPR and related cough. It's a good product, and 4 oz. has lasted a long time. I'll be reordering soon.

Luv that a tiny amount, mixed well with water - about 1 teaspoon for 500 ml of water - produces a water bottle amount ofslippery half-liquid substance nearly identical to Nuru massage gel...OK, if you mix it well enough, it IS identical to Nuru, the seaweed based gel that's colourless, odourless, tasteless, and leaves no residue when it dries.

Good product and quality.

This works great for a dye thickener. I have used super clear from Dharma and it did not thicken. This product i am pleased it can be adjusted easily to thickness. I would definitely purchase again for the cost. You get 15 times as much as one container of super clear that is 5.99 for a jar. Super clear cannot be thickened as this can be.Don't be bummed by the size of package when you open it. It is much smaller than it appears. It only requires a small amount. I didnt mix powder with it, I mixed it with water in a mixer, preferrably a beverage blender with a lid. You can do it by hand but it is a long process.This is a great product for dye thickening.

Taste a little the algae
