Frequently Asked Questions - AlgaeCal

AlgaeCal is a South American marine algae species, Lithothamnium superpositum (or Algas calcareas as the locals call it). This kiwi-fruit sized algae is sustainably hand harvested in the atlantic ocean, sun dried, then milled into a powder. There is no extraction process or additives used – just pure whole food calcium and minerals coming from a living plant. Watch the AlgaeCal Harvesting video here. AlgaeCal powder is the foundational ingredient in our products, AlgaeCal Basic and AlgaeCal Plus. AlgaeCal powder has significant advantages over traditional calcium supplements that are pure calcium because AlgaeCal contains all 13 known essential bone supporting minerals: calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, nickel, silica, copper, vanadium, potassium, zinc, boron, selenium and strontium. Traditional calcium carbonate and calcium citrate supplements are made from limestone and marble – and your body does not absorb rocks very well – so plant-sourced AlgaeCal has the benefit of being body-friendly and better absorbed into your bones. In fact the superfood mineral combination naturally found in AlgaeCal has been clinically supported to increase bone density in adults – but traditional calcium supplements only slow annual bone loss a little. In other words, after age 40, we typically lose 1% of our bone density every year until death – so most will become osteoporotic if they live long enough. Traditional calcium supplements slow this annual bone loss from 1% to ¾% – so it only helps a little. But AlgaeCal Plus actually increases bone density – and if taken with Strontium Boost, the combination is even more effective at increasing bone density.

To maximize your bone-building, take 4 capsules of AlgaeCal Plus a day. (This was the dosage that led to the most significant bone density increases in clinical trials).

We recommend splitting the daily 4 capsule dose into 2 servings of 2 capsules throughout the day. Your body can only absorb 500mg of calcium at a time, so taking more than 2 AlgaeCal capsules in one serving would lead to unabsorbed calcium.

And finally, it’s best to take your AlgaeCal Plus with food. That’s because taking calcium with food increases how well you absorb it. When you eat, your stomach produces acid that dissolves the minerals in AlgaeCal Plus so they can be properly absorbed when they reach your intestinal tract.

AlgaeCal Plus contains calcium from a marine, plant-based algae source called Lithothamnion superpositum. This algae belongs to the family of algaes known as Algas calcareas. So to make it easier to say, we just named it “AlgaeCal”! AlgaeCal has worldwide exclusive rights to this particular type of algae – and it is the only clinically backed calcium supplement in the world with human studies showing increases in bone mineral density. All other calcium has only ever been shown to slow down bone loss. In addition to this unique calcium, AlgaeCal Plus also contains magnesium, vitamin D3, vitamin K2 (in the form MK-7), vitamin C, boron and naturally-occurring trace minerals. In particular, AlgaeCal Plus contains all 13 bone-building minerals in their proper proportions that make up your bone matrix. AlgaeCal Plus is also dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free and non-GMO! For an in-depth explanation of each ingredient go to AlgaeCal Ingredients.

If you are suffering from bone loss, it is best to take both AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost. Together they are clinically supported to increase bone density in as little as 6 months – at any age! They also increase your bone density at a faster rate than AlgaeCal Plus alone. For example, studies prove AlgaeCal Plus alone can increase bone density by an average of 1.3% per year, compared with an average bone density increase of about 4% per year with AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost together. This is significant for those suffering from bone loss who may be experiencing more than 1% bone density loss per year. Taking the two together also gives the bone-building process a “kick start” to increase bone density safely and naturally, ensuring you have covered any potential losses.

AlgaeCal lists the minerals in the elemental form on the supplement facts label. Therefore, AlgaeCal Plus contains 360 mg of elemental calcium in two capsules (that’s 720 mg of elemental calcium in a daily dose, AlgaeCal lists the minerals in the elemental form on the supplement facts label. Therefore, AlgaeCal Plus contains 360 mg of elemental calcium in two capsules (that’s 720 mg of elemental calcium in a daily dose, 4 capsules).4 capsules).

AlgaeCal Plus, AlgaeCal Basic, and Strontium Boost all use soft capsules which are ¾” long and easy to swallow. If you do have trouble swallowing them, the two-part capsules can be pulled apart. You can then sprinkle the tasteless powder into your favorite drinks and food. We recommend semi-solid foods such as smoothies, applesauce or yogurt and avoiding hot drinks as temperatures above 120 degrees Fahrenheit as it may reduce the potency of the vitamins C, D, and K2. Please note that the AlgaeCal powder is only partially water soluble due to the many natural minerals and therefore does not dissolve completely in liquid.

Unlike traditional, rock-derived calcium supplements, AlgaeCal does not cause side effects such as kidney stones or arterial calcification. AlgaeCal is a natural, plant-sourced calcium that is easy for your body to absorb. It’s similar to calcium you get from eating vegetables such as broccoli, kale and peas. Some studies have shown that calcium from food sources does not increase soft tissue calcification because foods that naturally contain calcium also supply other minerals, which helps transfer the calcium directly into your bones rather than soft tissues like arteries, kidneys and eyes. Additional magnesium, boron, vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 are added into AlgaeCal Plus to optimize absorption and transport to the bone rather than soft tissues. All these factors translate to efficient absorption and placement into bone tissue. AlgaeCal is also much safer for you because it is more effective at a lower dose. At 720 mg per day of calcium, AlgaeCal Plus is increasing bone density in adults. Compare that to regular calcium supplements that have been studied at 1200 mg per day – and only slow bone loss.

The vast majority of people who experience gastrointestinal side effects from regular calcium supplements have no issue with AlgaeCal. These stomach troubles usually derive from consuming rock-source calcium, which our bodies are not designed to digest. Plant calcium contains a variety of balancing minerals including magnesium, which make it more easily digested. We recommend that you split your daily dose into breakfast and dinner time. Taking AlgaeCal with food increases absorption and reduces chances of any gastrointestinal issues.

The recommended daily dose is the same for each individual no matter their size because it is based on age, not weight. In fact, if you are petite, you are at a higher risk for bone density loss because you have less skeletal mass to begin with, so a full dose is recommended.

Yes, AlgaeCal powder is USDA Certified Organic which means the harvest area and surrounds are inspected regularly for possible pollutants. Also, each lot of AlgaeCal is tested for heavy metal contamination, bacteria, molds, and more. One of the naturally occurring AlgaeCal minerals is lead and there is 1.4 mcg of lead in 4 capsules of AlgaeCal. Every vegetable that grows in the soil or water has normal, safe amounts of lead in it – and the marine algae in AlgaeCal is no exception. Luckily, our bodies easily clear normal amounts of lead daily through urine, feces, and sweat, unless there’s a sudden spike that surpasses your body’s capacity to clear. Furthermore, the calcium in AlgaeCal actually blocks lead absorption. These two minerals compete for the same absorption site in the body, and there’s a tiny fraction of lead in AlgaeCal compared to calcium. For added peace of mind, the safety of AlgaeCal has been well established through three human clinical studies, which you can see here: AlgaeCal Research – Clinical Studies on AlgaeCal Products . Hope this information helps! If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Absolutely.  All bone drugs require calcium supplementation to supply the needed calcium for bone building – and AlgaeCal Plus is the highest quality calcium available.  We recommend separating your prescription medication from your AlgaeCal.

As a general rule of thumb, it is best to separate any prescription medication by at least 2-3 hours from when you take AlgaeCal Plus or Strontium Boost. This will help limit any potential interactions and ensure you receive maximum absorption from both your medications and supplements. However, some medications are recommended 3-4 hours apart. Please confirm with your doctor for your unique case. If you happen to be on an older anticoagulant prescription drug (blood thinner), vitamin K2 is not recommended. However, there are two newer types of anticoagulant drugs on the market called the XA Inhibitors and the Direct Thrombin Inhibitors. Ask your doctor about switching to one of these newer anticoagulants as the older ones are detrimental to your bone health – as they completely block the usage of vitamin K2 (the older anticoagulants use the same pathway of absorption as vitamin K2 so they cancel each other out). The newer types of anticoagulant don’t interact with vitamin K2 as they use different pathways for absorption in your body. As an extra precaution, please confirm any supplement or medication interaction with your doctor or physician before use.

An increasing number of doctors are aware of the significant science supporting AlgaeCal products and are referring their patients to them.  It is extremely difficult for doctors to keep up with the flood of new studies being reported in the journals. If you would like to provide your doctor with the science backed information on AlgaeCal, please refer to our Research Page. In addition, we also offer a convenient, one-page printout that you can take to your doctor: Take It To Your Doctor PDF.

lgaeCal does contain a minute amount of iodine – but only 160 mcg of iodine per daily serving of AlgaeCal Plus. If in doubt, please discuss with your doctor whether the amounts in AlgaeCal are appropriate for you. Additionally, we have customers taking thyroid-specific medication who see increases in their bone density with the AlgaeCal program. For best results, we recommend that you separate your thyroid medication by at least 4 hours from when you take AlgaeCal or Strontium Boost.

AlgaeCal Plus does not contain any shellfish – only calcium, minerals from organic algae and added vitamins. Many of our customers have shellfish allergies and take AlgaeCal safely with no adverse reactions. That being said, for any severe allergies we do advise consulting with your doctor/allergist for their best recommendation.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) only approves medications. Since AlgaeCal is a completely natural supplement, it’s simply not possible for AlgaeCal to have FDA approval. In saying that, AlgaeCal is registered with the FDA under GRAS status (Generally Recognized as Safe). GRAS status means a food ingredient is deemed safe by a qualified panel of experts.

While AlgaeCal Plus and AlgaeCal Basic are vegetarian, they aren't considered vegan because the vitamin D3 is sourced from lanolin, which is sheep's wool wax, so they are still considered an animal product

AlgaeCal Plus is soy-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and non-GMO.

All AlgaeCal products undergo stability testing where they are exposed to a variety of environmental factors such as light, humidity and extreme temperatures to establish its shelf life. In other words, there is no cause for concern when it comes to temperatures found in our product warehouse, during shipping to you, or in your home. Please note: stability testing is used to determine storage shelf life. We do not recommend you put AlgaeCal powder in hot drinks above 120 degrees Fahrenheit, as it may reduce the potency of vitamins D, C and K. Instead, pull apart the AlgaeCal Plus capsules and add the powder to cold or room temperature drinks or foods like smoothies and yogurt for best results.

AlgaeCal Plus contains naturally-occurring magnesium from the algae, plus additional magnesium oxide for an optimal 2:1 calcium to magnesium ratio. This ratio is the same ratio that is found in your body and has been clinically supported in human studies. Research shows magnesium oxide is as effective, if not more, than other forms of magnesium at maintaining and restoring magnesium in your bones and cells. For an in-depth explanation of why we chose this superior form, go here.

Anecdotal evidence suggests AlgaeCal Plus may help reduce pain and stiffness, while improving range of motion. Boron, one of AlgaeCal Plus’s key ingredients, has also been shown to decrease inflammation in osteoarthritis. Although many people suffering from osteoarthritis have reported relief with the AlgaeCal program, our published and peer-reviewed studies found here have been conducted to measure increases in bone density, specifically. There have not been any peer-reviewed studies conducted on AlgaeCal Plus and osteoarthritis. We recommend targeting arthritic inflammation through exercise, sleep, an anti-inflammatory diet, and our very own natural anti-inflammatory Triple Power Fish Oil! Triple Power’s formulation provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredients, shown to help manage joint pain and stiffness. Learn more about osteoarthritis and 5 natural remedies you can count on here.

AlgaeCal Plus may help reduce pain and stiffness, while improving range of motion. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis are commonly deficient in vitamin C, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and selenium — all of which are found in our AlgaeCal Plus formulation. Although many people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis have reported relief with the AlgaeCal program, our published and peer-reviewed studies found here have been conducted to measure increases in bone density, specifically. There have not been any peer-reviewed studies conducted on AlgaeCal Plus and rheumatoid arthritis. 1 in 4 people with rheumatoid arthritis will also develop bone loss, and for them, Strontium Boost is recommended to complement AlgaeCal Plus for preventing excessive bone loss. Together the pair have been shown to triple the rate of bone building in a single year. Learn more by checking out the Bone Builder Pack here. We recommend targeting arthritic inflammation through exercise, sleep, an anti-inflammatory diet, and our very own natural anti-inflammatory Triple Power Fish Oil!

Strontium is a mineral that is naturally found in the earth, in your food, and in your bones. Our product, Strontium Boost, contains the mineral strontium bound to citrate (think citric acid from fruit) to form (natural) strontium citrate. Strontium Boost helps with your bone remodelling process by increasing the rate of your bone building cells so that you build bone faster and at the same time, it slows down your bone deterioration. Strontium Boost is the only strontium citrate product backed by human clinical studies showing its safety and efficacy when it comes to low bone density. In fact, Strontium Boost, together with AlgaeCal Plus, is guaranteed to increase your bone density in as little as 6 months.

If you have osteopenia or osteoporosis you should take two capsules daily on an empty stomach. For ease and convenience, most people take their Strontium Boost at night right before bed.

Due to misinformation and confusion about the different forms of strontium, this is a common misconception about strontium citrate (the strontium in Strontium Boost). Strontium ranelate is the prescription drug version that has been shown to cause severe adverse side effects, while strontium citrate is completely natural, with no side effects. To put it simply, strontium citrate does not cause brittle bones and the claim that it does is completely unfounded. Independent of any increase in bone density, strontium citrate strengthens your bones safely and naturally with no side effects. In fact, these concerns are so common that Lara Pizzorno, the author of Your Bones and medical writer specializing in bone health for over 24 years, wrote about it in the following blog post: Strontium Side Effects Are Overblown – Get the Facts.

An increasing number of doctors are recommending Strontium Boost to their patients after looking at the safety and efficacy data. Your doctor may be hesitant to recommend strontium as they may be unfamiliar with the multiple strontium compounds– and how each affects your bone health. For instance, natural strontium citrate has been shown to be completely safe with no adverse side effects, while strontium ranelate, the prescription drug alternative, is not approved in North America because of the side effects seen in Europe. We offer a convenient, one-page printout that you can take to your doctor and discuss: Take It To Your Doctor PDF. It clearly explains the different strontium forms and why the natural form of strontium- strontium citrate- is beneficial (and safe) for your bones. If you are interested in a further, in-depth explanation of strontium from Bone Health Expert, Lara Pizzorno author of “Your Bones” read her popular blog post here. It is consistently being updated with the latest and most up to date science so you can make an informed decision about strontium.

Due to limited research, women who are either pregnant or breastfeeding should not take supplemental strontium.

We recommend AlgaeCal for those who can’t take AlgaeCal Plus. If you’re taking an older anticoagulant prescription medication (blood thinner), you may not be able to take AlgaeCal Plus because it contains vitamin K2. And some older anticoagulants interact with vitamin K2.

But it’s worth noting there are two newer types of anticoagulant drugs on the market; XA Inhibitors and Direct Thrombin Inhibitors. These newer types of anticoagulants don’t interact with vitamin K2, making them safe to take alongside AlgaeCal Plus. But if it’s not possible to switch to a newer anticoagulant, AlgaeCal Basic will be the best option for you.

To gain the greatest bone-health benefits, take 3 AlgaeCal capsules a day. That’s the dose the clinical study participants who saw small increases in their bone density after one year taking AlgaeCal took. (See bone health “plan 1” at the link above).

We recommend splitting the daily 3 capsule dose into 3 servings throughout the day. And it’s best to take your AlgaeCal with food. That’s because taking calcium with food increases how well you absorb it. When you eat, your stomach produces acid that dissolves the minerals in AlgaeCal so they can be properly absorbed when they reach your intestinal tract.

Triple Power is in a liquid emulsion, so it is taken by tablespoon. It is unlikely that we will offer Triple Power in capsules because emulsions have been shown to be 300% better absorbed than standard fish oil capsules. This form is also less prone to oxidation and is digested and metabolized more quickly and completely than standard fish oil capsules. For these reasons, we believe that a liquid emulsion form is superior to capsules.

Adults with healthy blood omega 3 levels should take 1 tablespoon daily with food for maintenance. Adults with blood omega 3 levels that fall below healthy levels should take a double dose or 2 tablespoons daily with food. A double dose should be taken for 90 days to increase blood omega 3 levels, which is part of our Triple Guarantee. For more on our guarantee, the “90 Day Oil Change” challenge – and how to test if your omega 3 levels are healthy –  go here. For a suggested dose for children, consult your pediatrician.

No, Triple Power is guaranteed to have no fish taste and be fresh and burp-free! It’s naturally flavored with mango and sweetened with xylitol, a natural fruit sugar, so you will actually crave your fish oil.

One bottle is a 29-day supply if you take 1 tablespoon per day. If you are looking to increase your blood omega 3 levels with a double dose, one bottle will last approximately 14 days.

Triple Power uses only fresh, wild anchovies, sardines, and mackerel from local, small fisheries in the cold Pacific waters near Peru. Each of these fish has significant amounts of omega 3 fatty acids and lower heavy metals and toxins compared to larger fish that are higher up on the food chain. Without distillation, even wild fish will naturally have some contaminants. So to purify Triple Power, we molecularly distill the fresh fish, which produces an ultra-pure, refined oil with virtually NO contaminants. Many women are justifiably concerned about mercury and toxins in fish, especially during pregnancy. For this reason, molecularly distilled and purified fish oil like Triple Power is the safest source of the omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. These omega 3 fatty acids are highly beneficial and even suggested during pregnancy for the health of the mother and baby.

Triple Power has not been shown to cause any side effects or adverse reactions. While standard fish oils may cause burping, bad breath, and fishy aftertaste, Triple Power is backed by its Triple Guarantee.

Our Triple Guarantee means you can try Triple Power Omega 3 Fish Oil risk-free. And you are guaranteed to improve your health or get your money back!

Guarantee No 1 - Improve your omega 3 levels*:
Triple power will improve your omega 3 levels in 90 days, or we'll refund you immediately! Click the button below for more details.

Guarantee No 2 - Best-tasting fish oil:

*Take our “90-Day Oil Change” Challenge!

What results can you expect? You’re likely to see an increase of 2 percentage points or more. For instance, if you’re starting at 3%, you can expect to achieve omega 3 blood levels of 5% after three months. And increasing your omega 3 blood levels by 2 percentage points translates to about a 20% increase of omega 3 in your cells!

How can you take part in the 90-Day Oil Change Challenge? Be sure to order 2 OmegaQuant tests along with 6 bottles of Triple Power. Test your blood with a small finger prick on day 1, and again 90 days later.

If your second score doesn’t show improvement, send us your test results. And we’ll promptly refund the cost of your entire 6 bottle purchase. The “90-Day Oil Change Challenge” is open to individuals whose omega 3 levels are below 8% on your day 1 test. (That is almost everyone!)

While you’ll most likely see an increase of 2%, depending upon where you started you may need more time to achieve the desired 8%. If that’s the case, continue two daily doses for an extra 2 or 3 months. Once you reach 8%, maintain your status easily with 1 tablespoon of Triple Power per day.

Triple Power Omega 3 Fish Oil is gluten-free, dairy-free and non-GMO. The mixed tocopherols are derived from soy, and a very small amount is used as an antioxidant to prevent the delicate oil from oxidization. Due to a highly refined process, there is no soy protein in the product. This is common in many fish oils for quality assurance. However, it’s always best to discuss with your doctor for any allergy concerns.

Fish oil isn’t that palatable on its own, so we decided to naturally sweeten it with xylitol (a natural fruit sugar). If you find it is too sweet, you can mix Triple Power with food or liquids like natural greek yogurt or smoothies. We just don’t recommend hot liquids, as they may alter or denature the product. For more on xylitol, our natural sweetener, read our post on Xylitol Benefits.

The better question is, do you want to reap the benefits of improved heart, brain and joint health? Fish oil has been one of the most well-researched supplements over the last few decades and shown to support your overall health in a variety of ways: by lowering risk of dementia, inflammation, and triglycerides, to name a few. Triple Power has gone above and beyond industry standards and gives you clinical doses of omega 3 fatty acids, plus has added two of the world’s most potent antioxidants: turmeric curcumin and astaxanthin. Together, this triple inflammation fighter will combat inflammation at its source and allow you to live the life you want to live– naturally and pain-free, so you can do more of the things you love to do. Click here for more on Triple Power.

Yes, omega 3 fatty acids are highly beneficial during pregnancy and breastfeeding. In fact, omega 3s have been shown to support fetal growth, particularly for the eyes and brain of the child. While omega 3s are essential, they must be obtained through dietary means either from seafood or fish oil. Research shows pregnant women should consume no more than 2, 6 oz servings of fish and seafood per week. Consuming more may pose a risk as fish can contain environmental toxins like mercury. However, Triple Power Omega 3 Fish Oil uses a process called molecular distillation, which produces an ultra-pure, refined oil with virtually no contaminants. Providing you the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids, safely.

OmegaQuant is a simple, at-home blood test kit that allows you to test your blood omega 3 levels in seconds! Red blood cell levels of omega 3s are representative of the levels found in your brain and heart, and low levels are linked to disease and early death. By testing your levels you will be able to supplement accordingly with the amount of omega 3 fatty acids optimal for YOU. Go here for more on the leader in omega 3 testing.

You need strong bones for the rest of your life to enjoy rather than endure your golden years. With our guarantee, you can continue enjoying your favorite activities for the rest of your days.

Measurable improvements will appear at 6 months from when you start your AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost program. So if your next DEXA scan is scheduled half a year or more from now, we guarantee you will see a bone density increase.

You may choose to wait for your next scheduled scan so that it is paid for by your insurance, or you may choose to pay out of pocket to check your results earlier. Either way is fine.

Just allow at least 6 consecutive months of taking the products as directed before your follow-up scan. We encourage you to take a scan every year to make sure you’re still building new bone.

IMPORTANT: Ensure you get your DEXA scan at the same clinic every time. Ideally, you’d get your scan on the same machine, too. That way, every scan is directly comparable to the last. If any DEXA does not show an improvement in either hip or spine bone density you will be refunded for all products purchased since your previous scan.

Your 3 Steps to Guaranteed Bone Density Increases

1. Have a DEXA scan that is not more than 30 days old to establish a baseline measurement. (If you had a DEXA scan more than 30 days ago, your guaranteed period will launch from your next scan onward. So don’t wait! Get started building healthy new bone right now before your guarantee begins.)
2. Take AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost at full dose as directed for at least six months.
3. Get your follow up DEXA scan from the same clinic as your first scan. It doesn’t matter when… six, twelve, even 24 months after you start – as long as you have continued to use your products between scans.

If your follow up scan does not show an increase in your hip or spine bone density, we refund every penny you paid us between those two scans.
