Quite right Roger, all forms of CS seem to be effective, including those made with salt. Particle size and charge has a major influence on the colloid stability and shelf life, and may also play a part in how much is able to be absorbed though the intestinal lining before it is moved on down the line, larger particles taking longer to ionise than smaller.
