Study finds algae more effective than calcium carbonate
AlgaeCal is a naturally sourced calcium and complete multi-mineral complex. A study published by the University of Connecticut that focused on osteoblasts and human bone building cells, found the plant-based calcium to be more effective than calcium carbonate for strengthening the skeletal system.
Traditional sources of calcium
Calcium is an alkaline earth metal, essential for living organisms to support bone health as it serves to prevent and delay the incidence of osteoporosis. Many individuals fail to obtain the optimum amount of calcium from their diets and so depend on calcium supplements.
Classed as a metal, the majority of calcium ingredients are composed of limestone and marble stones. According to 60 years of research regular stone calcium salts (from rocks) are able to slow bone loss in adults. Whereas plant calcium actively increases bone density.
Calcium can be sourced from a variety of foods. Dairy food products such as cheese, milk and yogurt are all rich natural sources of calcium. Non-dairy sources include vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, and kale. Foods such as fruit juices, bottled water and other drinks, tofu, and cereals can also be fortified with calcium.
Calcium from plants not rocks
AlgaeCal is a South American ocean algae of the species, l. superpositum which is more commonly referred to as algas calcareas. Growing only in Atlantic waters up to 40 meters depth, this species of algae grows in kiwi fruit-sized lumps and is ecologically harvested in sustainable amounts by hand, sun dried, and then milled into a whole food powder containing 30% calcium along with 12 other bone supporting minerals.
