Alginates are natural hydrocolloids of vegetable origin that occur as a structural component in marine brown algae and give strength and flexibility to the plant.

Alginate drug delivery harnesses the unique properties of seaweed for premier performance in multiple pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications; they impart viscosity in solutions and even form a three-dimensional gel in the presence of calcium ions. This unique functionality can be used in a diversity of applications such as controlled release dosage forms, enteric coatings, microencapsulation and stabilization in solutions and suspensions. Alginates also function as actives in some anti-reflux products.
