Everything you need to know about this product.
What is Nature's Sunshine Algin?
Algin is a single-ingredient supplement made from sodium alginate, an important component of the kelp plant (brown seaweed). It's designed to support a healthy intestinal system by promoting the body's natural ability to eliminate waste.
What does sodium alginate do?
Sodium alginate is derived from brown seaweed and is valued for its ability to support healthy intestinal function. It may help the body's natural cleansing processes, making it a popular choice for those interested in whole body, colon, or heavy metal cleansing support.
How do I take Algin?
Take 2 capsules three times daily between meals. Be sure to drink two glasses of juice or water with each serving to support the product's effectiveness. At this serving schedule, each 100-capsule bottle provides about a 16-day supply.
Who is Algin a good fit for?
Algin is well-suited for adults looking for gentle intestinal cleansing support, whether as part of a broader detox routine or on its own. It may be especially appealing to those concerned about environmental toxins or seeking colon and whole body cleansing support. As always, anyone who is pregnant, nursing, or on medication should consult their healthcare provider first.
How does Algin compare to other cleansing products in the range?
Algin focuses specifically on sodium alginate from brown seaweed, making it a straightforward, single-ingredient option. For broader cleansing support, you might consider Bowel Detox (120 capsules), CleanStart 14 Day Cleanse in Wild Berry, or Ultrabiome DTX (30 stick packs). Activated Charcoal (120 capsules) and Hydrated Bentonite (32 fl oz) offer alternative approaches to binding and detox support. These products can complement each other depending on your wellness goals.
What people are saying
- Kath10/30/2025Algin capsules for acid reflux
This product has greatly reduced my excess stomach. I open 1 to 2 capsules, mix in 2 oz. milk, wait for it to thicken and take right after breakfast and before bedtime. (At first I used it up to 4 times a day but had to eat a few prunes to offset some constipation that resulted from the 2 extra doses. Twice/day seems to be just the right amount for my issue at this point.)
- Amy9/15/2025Helped a little?
I have chronic GERD. THE algin kept it at bay for maybe 2 hours pist-dose.
- Michele Lee9/15/2025Algin Review
It is helping me with RA inflammation.
- Elizabeth Patrick9/15/2025Use it everyday
My naturopath doctor put me on this for my detox issues. I take it everyday and it’s the only thing that helps tremendously.
- Suzanne Wang9/15/2025Alternative to Typical GERD meds
Just recently received this supplement to use as an alternative to GERD medication. So far it seems like it may work well, but I’m only taking it at bedtime which is when my GERD is most problematic.
- Karen Weiland9/15/2025Helped My Gastritis
I have been battling a gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining) flare on and off for over a year and today I had a relatively painless day. I have been taking the Algin capsules after meals as directed and the algae reacts to the excess acid in my stomach by turning into a gel, reducing acid levels and making a gel barrier that stops stomach acid from going into my esophagus (aka acid reflux). Both reduce the inflammation. So far the Algin seems to be helping. However, I was having some side effects and after checking with Dr. Google I found out that I am supposed to wait 30 minutes after the meal and then take two capsules with a glass of water. So, my suggestion is to have some directions on the bottle which reflect this.
- joan Lewis9/15/2025Algin
I have been using for awhile (all Nature Sunshine Products) and love it. They all work.
- Sharon Hilferty9/15/2025Excellent Product
Happy with my purchase of Algin. It is a first class supplement.
- Lisa Brandick9/15/2025Helps with detox symptoms
Any kind of detoxing makes me so very sick, Algin is the only product I’ve ever heard of that actually mops up the bad stuff and keeps you from getting so sick. It’s best on an empty stomach but can be taken with food, absorbs heavy metals and whatever else is circulating from your detox. It’s also good if you’ve eaten something you wish you hadn’t you can take it with the meal.
- Kenneth Worthy9/15/2025Good against acid reflux
Works well against acid reflux, but perhaps not 100%.
