Heavy metal accumulation (mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic) impairs mitochondrial function, depletes glutathione, disrupts hormonal signaling, and drives neurological and cardiovascular disease. Discover how sea moss alginic acid (a structural polysaccharide) binds divalent metal cations in the gastrointestinal tract reducing absorption, how its zinc and selenium support metallothionein synthesis (the body's primary heavy metal sequestering protein), how its prebiotic fiber supports gut microbiome diversity that modulates heavy metal biotransformation, and how its anti-inflammatory compounds protect against metal-induced oxidative stress. Critical: sea moss is not a medical chelation agent -- acute heavy metal toxicity requires EDTA or DMSA chelation under physician supervision.
