- Drug Interactions
Some medications and supplements require separation from AlgaeCal to limit any potential interactions. For example, thyroid medication, antacids, and certain antibiotics should be taken at least 4 hours from AlgaeCal. Iron supplements also should be separated correctly.
If you take a standalone iron supplement, please take it 2 hours from AlgaeCal to avoid decreased absorption. If your iron comes from a multivitamin, you do not need to separate it from AlgaeCal.
For general guidelines about how to take AlgaeCal, please reach out to our Bone Health Consultants at [email protected] or by calling 1-800-820-0184. Always check with your doctor for details about possible interactions between AlgaeCal products and your medications.
- Ingredients What's Inside?Calcium 750 mg
(As AlgaeCal® Mesophyllum Superpositum)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 65mg
(As AlgaeCal® M. Superpositum)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 25mcg (1000 IU)
(As Cholecalciferol)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 1,000 IU of this bone-building vitamin.Potassium Trace
(As AlgaeCal® M. Superpositum)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.Boron Trace
(As AlgaeCal® M. Superpositum)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.Copper Trace
(As AlgaeCal® M. Superpositum)Copper is essential in bone metabolism, activating enzymes like lysyl oxidase that incorporate both collagen and elastin into the organic component of bone.Manganese Trace
(As AlgaeCal® M. Superpositum)Manganese is critical in the formation of the extracellular matrix–the ground substance to which collagen adheres, and for the development of chondrocytes, the cells that secrete cartilage and become bone building- osteoblasts and eventually osteocytes, which regulate the entire bone renewal process. Without manganese, bone mineralization simply cannot start!Silicon Trace
(As AlgaeCal® M. Superpositum)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 Trace
(As AlgaeCal® M. Superpositum)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 Trace
(As AlgaeCal® M. Superpositum)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 Trace
(As AlgaeCal® M. Superpositum)Selenium is the required cofactor for two groups of enzymes intimately tied to bone health: the selenoenzymes, which neutralize bone-destructive free radicals and the deiodinase enzymes, which are necessary for the healthy thyroid function that keeps our bone renewal metabolism running. For these reasons, low selenium can mean decreased bone mineral density.Strontium Trace
(As AlgaeCal® M. Superpositum)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 Trace
(As AlgaeCal® M. Superpositum)In one study, vanadium compounds were shown to increase bone formation without any adverse health effects!Zinc Trace
(As AlgaeCal® M. Superpositum)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.
Whole-Food Nutrition Means Gentle Digestion
Traditional calcium supplements are made from milled limestone or marble, making them challenging to digest and absorb. But AlgaeCal's marine algae draws all the bone-building minerals from sea water and absorbs them for it's metabolic needs. That allows your body to properly assimilate the minerals and put them where they're needed: Your bones!

- What’s the difference between rock based calcium and plant based calcium?
The main difference between plant-based calcium and rock-based calcium is where they come from and how well our bodies absorb them. Rock-based calcium supplements are made from ground-up rocks like marble or limestone, which our bodies can't digest well. In fact, most calcium supplements on the market are made from rocks and lack important trace minerals that our bones need.
On the other hand, plant-based calcium comes from plants, which our bodies are naturally designed to digest. Our bodies recognize and absorb plant-based calcium more effectively than the calcium from rocks. This is because plants contain calcium in a form that is easier for our bodies to use.
- How do calcium and vitamin D work together to strengthen bones?
These two nutrients work together in synergy to protect your bones. Calcium provides the material needed for bone structure, and vitamin D ensures that calcium is absorbed and utilized correctly by the body. Even if you're consuming enough calcium, a deficiency in vitamin D can hinder its effectiveness.
To get the most out of calcium and promote bone health, it's important to have sufficient levels of vitamin D. Both nutrients work hand in hand to maintain strong bones and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
- Does magnesium help with improving bone density?
Magnesium is a vital mineral for maintaining healthy bones. Studies indicate that people with higher magnesium intake generally have higher bone mineral density. This is crucial because higher bone mineral density helps lower the risk of bone fractures.
- In addition to calcium, what other minerals are included in AlgaeCal?
AlgaeCal is a plant-based calcium supplement clinically supported to improve bone health. Sourced from an organic algae that naturally contains 13 bone-supporting minerals. In addition to calcium, each serving includes magnesium, potassium, boron, manganese, vanadium, phosphorus, copper, zinc, nickel, strontium, silicon, and selenium. It also includes a full dose of vitamin D3.
- What’s the difference between AlgaeCal and AlgaeCal Plus?
AlgaeCal is a plant-based calcium supplement clinically supported to improve bone health. Sourced from an organic algae that naturally contains 13 bone-supporting minerals. In addition to calcium, each serving includes magnesium, potassium, boron, manganese, vanadium, phosphorus, copper, zinc, nickel, strontium, silicon, and selenium. It also includes a full dose of vitamin D3.
AlgaeCal Plus includes all of the above nutrients plus the vital addition of vitamin C and the all-important vitamin K2-. K2-7 is an important bone-building nutrient that directs calcium toward your bones, where it’s needed. And keeps it away from your soft tissue, where it can cause heart attacks, strokes, and even Alzhiener’s.
AlgaeCal is for those taking an older blood thinner like Coumadin or Warfarin and can't switch to a newer one with XA Inhibitors after discussing it with their doctor.
However, if you're not taking a blood thinner or you're already on a newer type, you'll get better bone-building results by using AlgaeCal Plus.
