AlgaeCal Plant Calcium
Patent pending AlgaeCal® is an ocean algae from South America that is revolutionizing calcium supplementation.
AlgaeCal is more than a rich calcium source – it also contains large amounts of magnesium and bone
supporting trace minerals including boron, silica, strontium and vanadium – and all are plant-derived for bioavailability!
Most important, AlgaeCal has been involved in several clinical studies with superior results.
- Bio-Available Calcium
- Magnesium and Trace Minerals from Ocean Algae
- Vitamin D3 added

How Much Calcium Do You Need?
The National Academy of Sciences, Dietary Reference Intakes suggests that an average adult should get 1000-1300 mg elemental calcium each day. But studies indicate a typical North American adult gets only 500 – 700 mg elemental calcium per day from food. So AlgaeCal Plant Calcium was formulated to provide 750 mg elemental calcium per day to make up for shortfall of calcium in our diets. So, if you get 550 mg of calcium from your food, plus 750 mg from AlgaeCal your total is 1300 mg per day which is optimal for even the most needy groups.
