Seaweed Calcium/Red Algae Powder

The daily recommended intake of calcium for adults is 1200 mg. However, the average person’s daily intake is only about 60% of the recommended amount, indicating a widespread issue of insufficient calcium intake. Growing children, pregnant women, seniors, and menopausal women all have increased needs for calcium to support healthy growth and well-being. Seaweed calcium has emerged as an excellent new choice to meet this demand.

Seaweed Calcium | A New Choice for Calcium Supplementation 

Seaweed calcium refers to the calcium-rich ingredient derived from red algae (Lithothamnion species) harvested from the pristine, unpolluted waters of the Atlantic off the southwest coast of Ireland. In addition to its high calcium content, this ingredient also provides over 70 trace marine micronutrients. Seaweed calcium is characterized by a unique, porous honeycomb structure. This ultra-fine powder dissolves easily in water for enhanced absorption. Upon dissolving, it becomes free calcium, which has high bioavailability.

For optimal results, calcium supplementation requires magnesium. Magnesium works synergistically with calcium, aiding in its transport and utilization while helping the body retain this vital nutrient.
