ALGAECAL Organic Red Algae Calcium Supplement for Bone Density

When you buy two or more pieces, we will provide extra discounts and free delivery!

AlgaeCal is a South American marine algae species,Mesophyllum superpositum(or Algas calcareas as the locals call it). This kiwi-fruit sized algae is sustainably hand harvested in the atlantic ocean, sun dried, then milled into a powder. There is no extraction process or additives used – just pure whole food calcium and minerals coming from a living plant. Watch theAlgaeCal Harvesting videohere. AlgaeCal powder is the foundational ingredient in our products,AlgaeCalandAlgaeCal Plus. AlgaeCal powder has significant advantages over traditional calcium supplements that are pure calcium becauseAlgaeCal contains all 13 known essential bone supporting minerals: calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, nickel, silica, copper, vanadium, potassium, zinc, boron, selenium and strontium. Traditional calcium carbonate and calcium citrate supplements are made from limestone and marble – and your body does not absorb rocks very well – so plant-sourced AlgaeCal has the benefit of being body-friendly and better absorbed into your bones. In fact the superfood mineral combination naturally found in AlgaeCal has been clinically supported to increase bone density in adults – but traditional calcium supplements only slow annual bone loss a little. In other words, after age 40, we typically lose 1% of our bone density every year until death – so most will become osteoporotic if they live long enough. Traditional calcium supplements slow this annual bone loss from 1% to ¾% – so it only helps a little. But AlgaeCal Plus actually increases bone density – and if taken with Strontium Boost, the combination is even more effective at increasing bone density.

To maximize your bone-building, take 4 capsules of AlgaeCal Plus a day. (This was the dosage that led to the most significant bone density increases in clinical trials).

We recommend splitting the daily 4 capsule dose into 2 servings of 2 capsules throughout the day. Your body can only absorb 500mg of calcium at a time, so taking more than 2 AlgaeCal capsules in one serving would lead to unabsorbed calcium.

And finally, it’s best to take your AlgaeCal Plus with food. That’s because taking calcium with food increases how well you absorb it. When you eat, your stomach produces acid that dissolves the minerals in AlgaeCal Plus so they can be properly absorbed when they reach your intestinal tract.

AlgaeCal Plus contains calcium from a marine, plant-based algae source called Mesophyllum superpositum. This algae belongs to the family of algaes known as Algas calcareas. So to make it easier to say, we just named it “AlgaeCal”! AlgaeCal has worldwide exclusive rights to this particular type of algae – and it is the only clinically backed calcium supplement in the world with human studies showing increases in bone mineral density. All other calcium has only ever been shown to slow down bone loss. In addition to this unique calcium, AlgaeCal Plus also contains magnesium, vitamin D3, vitamin K2 (in the form MK-7), vitamin C, boron and naturally-occurring trace minerals. In particular, AlgaeCal Plus contains all 13 bone-building minerals in their proper proportions that make up your bone matrix. AlgaeCal Plus is also dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free and non-GMO!

Our formulas that include omega-3 DHA & EPA from fish oil and algal oil do contain gelatin (sourced from bovine). 

Our vegetarian (and gelatin-free!) formulas are our Organic, Sugar Free and Multi (without Omegas) product lines, as well as our companion formulas, such as our Probiotics, Kids Fiber & Veggies, and Kids Triple Action Immunity products.

If you are suffering from bone loss, it is best to take algacalplus and strontium enhancer at the same time. Clinically, they can increase bone density in just 6 months-suitable for any age! They can also increase your bone density faster than AlgaeCal Plus alone. For example, studies have proved that the use of Algecal Plus alone can increase the bone mineral density by an average of 1.3% per year. In contrast, when Algecal Plus and strontium are used together, the bone mineral density increases by an average of about 4% per year. This is of great significance to those with bone loss, who may experience more than 1% bone density loss every year. Combining the two together also gives the bone building process a "start" to safely and naturally increase bone density and ensure that you have made up for any potential losses.

As a general rule of thumb, it is best to separate any prescription medication by at least 2-3 hours from when you take AlgaeCal Plus or Strontium Boost. This will help limit any potential interactions and ensure you receive maximum absorption from both your medications and supplements. However, some medications are recommended 3-4 hours apart. Please confirm with your doctor for your unique case. If you happen to be on anolder anticoagulant prescription drug(blood thinner), vitamin K2 is not recommended. However, there are two newer types of anticoagulant drugs on the market called the XA Inhibitors and the Direct Thrombin Inhibitors. Ask your doctor about switching to one of these newer an ticoagulants asthe older onesare detrimental to your bone health – as they completely block the usage of vitamin K2 (the older anticoagulants use the same pathway of absorption as vitamin K2 so they cancel each other out). The newer types of anticoagulant don’t interact with vitamin K2 as they use different pathways for absorption in your body. As an extra precaution, please confirm any supplement or medication interaction with your doctor or physician before use.
