Harvesting Algas Calcareas - AlgaeCal Raw Calcium

The species of marine algae we use does not grow in coral reefs.  Remember, Corals are considered animal while AlgaeCal is a plant - so it grows in a different environment.  The tiny algae attach to pieces of seaweed on the sandy ocean bottom.  Toward the latter part of it's 180 day life cycle, it typically reaches the size of a person's fist and it's weight is such that it cannot be supported by the seaweed.

The algae is harvested by hand in waist deep water on the shores of a remote area in South America.   We employ a team of trained locals who live-harvest this marine algae from the beaches at low tide.  The algae is live harvested to keep all of the minerals and nutrients intact.  The crop is rotated from beach to beach to be sure to not interfere with the natural cycle of marine algae.

The marine algae is then washed with fresh ionized water and then sun dried.  The algae is then milled down to powder form to become AlgaeCal.  To ensure the quality and safety all batches of AlgaeCal powder are tested for microbial activity and mineral content.

There is no chemical treatment, no sieving process and no additives or extractions that might create impurities.  AlgaeCal is a completely natural product.
