It is derived from kelp, a type of seaweed, and is used as a thickener in foods and as a pharmaceutical aid. In dentistry, this irreversible hydrocolloid is used as a material for taking impressions.Derived from marine brown algae, particularly the colossal kelp, colloidal compounds find application as wound dressings.Alginates are substances employed in specific categories of antacid medications. These substances create a floating layer atop the contents of the stomach, forming a protective raft that alleviates acid reflux and safeguards the esophagus."}
