Increase Bone Density
Rock-based calcium can only slow bone loss. But AlgaeCal’s plant-based calcium does what others can’t — actually stops bone loss. And builds new bone!
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 density than their magnesium-deficient counterparts.
Vitamin D3 - 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 Plus has a generous 1,600 IU of this bone-building vitamin.
Vitamin K2 - You need vitamin K2 because it collects calcium from your bloodstream and directs it into your bones - keeping them healthy and strong. You don’t want calcium getting into your soft tissue - where it can cause heart attacks, strokes, and even Alzheimer’s.
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.
Vitamin C - Vitamin C helps your body fight the root cause of bone loss. A 17-year study found that a high intake of this vitamin reduced the likelihood of hip and non-vertebral fractures.
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.
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.
Vanadium - 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.
How to take AlgaeCal Plus:

Drug Interactions:
Some medications and supplements require separation from AlgaeCal Plus to limit any potential interactions. For example, thyroid medication, antacids, and certain antibiotics should be taken at least 4 hours from AlgaeCal Plus. Iron supplements also should be separated correctly.
If you take a standalone iron supplement, please take it 2 hours from AlgaeCal Plus to avoid decreased absorption. If your iron comes from a multivitamin, you do not need to separate it from AlgaeCal Plus.
Vitamin K2, including the vitamin K2 in AlgaeCal Plus, may interfere with certain anticoagulant drugs and should be avoided unless otherwise directed by a physician if taking anticoagulant medications.
