Will Purigen Remove my Amino Acid Supplements?

[Shigshwa]

Since Purigen removes organic compounds, will it also remove my coral supplements, such as amino acids?

I'm not sure. All of the amino acids will be zwitterions in seawater (that is, they have both a positive and negative charge) and that reduces binding to materials like this, but I've never seen any data on them for Purigen.

I agree with what Randy said, but some amino acids are very hydrophobic and might bind preferentially to this resin.
