AlgaeCal Plus

AlgaeCal Plus is a plant-based calcium supplement made from a unique South American marine algae called Mesophyllum superpositum. These USDA-certified organic algae are sustainably hand-harvested from the ocean, gently sun-dried, and milled into a fine powder.

Unlike traditional calcium supplements, which are typically derived from rocks like limestone or marble, AlgaeCal Plus is a whole-food source of all 13 essential bone-supporting minerals: calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, nickel, silica, copper, vanadium, potassium, zinc, boron, selenium and strontium. And because it comes from a living plant, this natural mineral matrix is easier for your body to absorb and utilize. 

In addition to these 13 minerals we also add full clinical doses of vitamins C, D, and K. 

Clinical research published in three peer-reviewed scientific journals shows that the 16 nutrients in AlgaeCal Plus don’t just slow bone loss; they can actually help increase bone density in adults. No other calcium supplement can make this claim. Because AlgaeCal is the ONLY one that’s clinically supported to increase 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.

Each serving of AlgaeCal Plus provides 360 mg of elemental calcium in two capsules. That’s 720 mg per day when you take the full four-capsule daily dose.

This is the exact amount used in clinical studies that showed measurable increases in bone mineral density.

You don’t need more calcium, you need the right kind of calcium. Unlike ordinary rock-based calcium (from limestone or marble), AlgaeCal Plus delivers plant-based, whole-food calcium with 12 essential bone-building minerals + vitamins C,D,& K. These 16 nutrients are easy for your body to absorb and—most importantly—are clinically supported to increase bone density, something other calcium supplements simply can’t do.

Yes. All prescription bone medications require adequate calcium to give your body the raw materials it needs to build new bone. And AlgaeCal Plus provides a clinically supported, plant-based calcium that works beautifully alongside these treatments.

That said, it’s always important to check with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your supplement routine or medical care, especially if you’re currently taking prescription medications.

Yes. AlgaeCal Plus contains absolutely no shellfish or shellfish-derived ingredients.

And many customers with shellfish allergies take AlgaeCal Plus safely with no adverse reactions. That said, if you have a severe allergy, it’s always best to consult your doctor or allergist before starting any new supplement.

No. AlgaeCal Plus is vegetarian. But not vegan. The calcium and other minerals come from plant-based marine algae, but the vitamin D3 is derived from lanolin (the natural wax found in sheep’s wool) which is an animal by-product.

Lanolin is sustainably harvested and does not harm the animals, but because it originates from an animal source, AlgaeCal Plus is classified as vegetarian, not vegan.
