Rock-based calcium can only slow bone loss. AlgaeCal’s plant-based calcium, together with vitamin D, does what others can’t — actually stop bone loss.
Available in store
Close13 bone-supporting minerals from living algae and a full dose of vitamin D. This combination of nutrients is clinically supported to stop bone loss - and it’s gentler on your body than rock-based calcium supplements.
Traditional calcium supplements are made from milled limestone or marble, making them challenging to digest and absorb. But AlgaeCal's marine algae draws all the bone-building minerals from sea water and absorbs them for it's metabolic needs. That allows your body to properly assimilate the minerals and put them where they're needed: Your bones!
Ingredients:
Calcium
AlgaeCal is a unique calcium that contains all 13 essential bone-building minerals. Studies show these plant-based nutrients can stop bone loss – and even increase your bone density.
Magnesium
If you want better bones, then you need more magnesium. Clinical studies show people with healthy magnesium levels have better bone better density than their magnesium-deficient counterparts.
Vitamin D3 (As Cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D is vital for your bone health. Without this essential nutrient, your body can’t absorb calcium, and that’s bad news for your bones. But don’t worry – every serving of AlgaeCal has a generous 1,000 IU of this bone-building vitamin.
Potassium
By helping to neutralize the acidic pH resulting from the Standard American Diet, potassium prevents the loss of calcium from bone to restore a more alkaline pH, thus conserving calcium within our bones and reducing its loss in urine.
Boron
This essential nutrient helps your bones get the calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D they need to stay healthy and strong. It also helps your body make collagen, the main protein that holds your bone together.
Copper
Copper is essential in bone metabolism, activating enzymes like lysyl oxidase that incorporate both collagen and elastin into the organic component of bone.
Manganese
Manganese is critical in the formation of the extracellular matrix - the ground substance to which collagen adheres, and even the prevention of bone resorption. This vital second-messenger signal activates bone-building osteoblasts and deactivates osteocytes, which regulate the entire bone renewal process. Without manganese, bone mineralization simply cannot start!
Silicon
Silicon plays a key role in bone formation by stimulating the production of bone-building osteoblasts and the synthesis of type 1 collagen, and by increasing calcium's incorporation into bone.
Nickel
Nickel can affect the distribution of other nutrients in your body, including calcium. Given the obvious benefit calcium has on our bones, you can see why an adequate level of nickel is critical to maintaining healthy bone!
Phosphorus
Approximately 85% of the body’s phosphorus is found in your bones. It’s fundamental to growth, maintenance, and is necessary along with calcium and magnesium for proper growth and formation of bones.
Selenium
Selenium is the required cofactor for two groups of enzymes intimately tied to bone health: the selenoproteins, which neutralize bone destructive free radicals, and the deiodinase enzymes, which are necessary for the healthy thyroid. Furthermore, it keeps our bone renewal metabolism running. For these reasons, low selenium can mean decreased bone mineral density.
Strontium
This essential nutrient helps your bones get the calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D they need to stay healthy and strong. It also helps your body make collagen, the main protein that holds your bone together.
In one study, vanadium compounds were shown to increase bone formation without any adverse health effects!
Zinc
Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in bone metabolism by acting as a cofactor for specific enzymes. But that’s not all: studies have found that zinc can also help prevent bone loss, making it a vital nutrient for both men and women, especially those in their post-menopausal years.
