Abstract
DIETARY additives which selectively inhibit the absorption of radiostrontium from the diet of man and animals include certain phosphates1,2, equimolar mixtures of sodium and freshly precipitated barium sulphates and various preparations of alginates3–6, and work in this laboratory has shown that alginate preparations with a high guluronic acid content are more effective than those with a high mannuronic acid content7,8. One such preparation made here (referred to as O.G.1) contains more than 95 per cent guluronic acid9.
