I use this for acid reflux and its great quality! Just take the alginate in water or put it into capsules for consumption later. There's lots of sodium alginate products online, but you really only need this simple ingredient by itself.

Put a little on your hand and wet it. The result is a gel coating that glues to your hand and requires some serious scrubbing to get off, and yet is somehow still soft and gelatinous, too. I’ve been looking for a thickener for sauces that won’t break down and get thin after freezing and thawing, and this is supposed to be just the opposite: it actually gets thicker when you freeze it, and minimizes moisture loss (freezer burn), too. I'm hoping to be able to chamber vacuum seal and freeze stews that can be later defrosted and eaten without becoming runny. Woo hoo!

This stuff is the worst product brand I have ever purchased. I used it fir thickening dye. Within 24 hours it turns watery. I have never had that happen.

Pair it up with calcium lactate or calcium chloride to do some spherification like popping boba, or combine with xantham gum to create noodles by squeeze bottling it into a calcium bath. Can also thicken gravy especially if you don't like the glossy look of corn starch. If you're getting this you probably know what you're doing. It's extracted from seaweed so it's natural and vegan. 4 oz is a good amount that'll keep me busy for a while as I do not use it all that often.
