Algae Based Calcium - 90 Easy to Swallow Slim Tablets (Vegan/Vegetarian)

Algae Calcium — Plant-Based Calcium from Red Marine Algae (with D₃, K₂, Magnesium & Trace Minerals)*

Sustainably sourced red marine algae (Lithothamnion sp.) provides a naturally mineral-rich calcium source with magnesium and trace elements to support healthy bone mineralization, muscle/nerve function, and overall skeletal health.* Includes vitamin D₃ (from organic algae) and vitamin K₂ (MK-7) as listed on the label. Produced in FDA-registered, GMP-certified facilities and 3rd-party lab tested for identity, potency & purity.*

• Fracture risk (older adults): Calcium + vitamin D lowers fractures in select institutional/older populations; vitamin D alone is insufficient. (NIH/PubMed — Chapuy M, 1992)(NIH/PubMed — Avenell A, 2014)

• Fracture prevention (meta-analysis): Calcium ± vitamin D supports prevention in adults ≥50; dosing context matters. (NIH/PubMed — Tang B, 2007)

• Total fractures (pooled data): Combined calcium + D associated with ~15% lower total fractures. (NIH/PubMed — Weaver C, 2016)(NIH/PMC — Weaver C, 2015)

• Secondary hyperparathyroidism & hip bone loss: Calcium + D₃ reversed senile secondary hyperparathyroidism and reduced hip bone loss/fracture risk in elderly women. (NIH/PubMed — Chapuy M, 2002)

• Calcium absorption — citrate advantage: Studies show higher absorption with calcium citrate vs carbonate (esp. fasting/varied conditions). (NIH/PubMed — Sakhaee K, 1999)(NIH/PubMed — Harvey J, 1990)

• Vitamin D supports absorption: Vitamin D status enhances intestinal calcium absorption and mineral balance. (NIH/ODS — Vitamin D)

• Magnesium & skeletal health: Adequate magnesium supports bone formation and neuromuscular function; low status linked to poorer skeletal outcomes. (NIH/ODS — Magnesium)

• Vitamin K₂ (MK-7) — osteocalcin & bone strength: Long-term MK-7 improved vitamin K status and attenuated age-related BMD decline in postmenopausal women. (NIH/PubMed — Knapen M, 2013)

• MK-7 — carboxylation (dose-finding RCT): Low-dose daily MK-7 improved osteocalcin γ-carboxylation. (NIH/PubMed — Inaba N, 2015)

• MK-7 — mixed outcomes (context): A 3-year RCT in osteopenic women found no BMD advantage vs placebo when both arms received Ca + D; underscores population/dose context. (NIH/PubMed — Rønn S, 2021)

• Dental mineralization: Adequate calcium with vitamin D supports enamel/tooth mineral maintenance. (NIH/MedlinePlus — Calcium)

• Mineral-rich algae complex (Aquamin®/Lithothamnion): Translational/early human work reports favorable effects on bone turnover/formation markers vs common salts; larger RCTs needed. (NIH/PMC — Aslam M, 2010)(NIH/PubMed — O’Gorman D, 2012)

• Microalgae as vitamin D sources: Reviews identify D₃ occurrence in algae and potential for vegan D₃ sourcing (supports label’s algal D₃). (NIH/PMC — Jäpelt R, 2013)(NIH/PMC — Del Mondo A, 2020)

• Magnesium status & BMD: Observational/human data associate higher magnesium intake/status with favorable BMD; responses vary by baseline. (NIH/ODS — Magnesium)

• Citrate vs carbonate — method nuance: Some work found comparable absorption with meals; underscores timing/formulation context. (NIH/PubMed — Heaney R, 1999)

• Strontium (trace dietary): Present naturally in algae-derived complexes; therapeutic strontium ranelate data do not apply to trace amounts in foods/supplements (context note).

• Safety & dosing context: Authoritative monographs summarize adult ULs and interactions for calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin K. (NIH/ODS — Calcium)(NIH/ODS — Vitamin D)

• University-affiliated groups (e.g., Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Cambridge) have contributed to analyses of calcium + vitamin D for fracture prevention and vitamin K₂ (MK-7) for osteocalcin activation and bone quality markers (see PubMed citations above). Mentions remain plain text per SOP unless .edu HTML is available.

• Authoritative organizations (Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, EFSA/EMA, NCCIH) discuss nutrient roles in bone health and safety for calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin K. When PubMed/PMC-indexed summaries are available, we hyperlink; otherwise plain-text mentions per SOP.
