Calcium derived from a plant-based source not only supports bone strength, but it also provides minerals that are vital to bone formation.
Aquamin is a plant-based calcium source derived from red marine algae. It provides calcium, magnesium, and over 70 trace minerals, which are essential nutrients in small amounts that perform vital functions in the body. Aquamin’s unique cell structure allows the easy absorption of vitamins and minerals.
Harvested from the North Atlantic, the marine algae’s growth process involves the natural absorption of essential minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, from the seawater. The minerals are stored in the cellular structure, creating a potent mineral complex with various health benefits.
The body utilizes Calcium for bone and teeth strength, muscle contraction, nerve signal transmission, blood clotting, hormone release, and maintaining a normal heart rhythm. Regular intake is recommended with the high incidence of Osteoporosis in adults.
“ Bone mass peaks at age 30, after that we start losing bone Calcium,” explains vascular specialist Dr. Francis Marie Purino. “Most of the time, we keep the Calcium in our blood but sacrifice the Calcium in our bones. Calcium has to be part of our diet; if not, then we need to take supplements.”
Aquamin is the main ingredient of Kalgae Prime, a plant-based Calcium supplement. “Most of the Calcium supplements in the market are from limestone. Aquamin is a red marine algae that comes from seaweeds.”
Sourced from lithothamnion red algae, it regenerates naturally and has a porous, vegetative cell structure that allows easy absorption of minerals, compared to rock-based Calcium.
Not all mineral supplements are absorbed easily by the body. Poorly absorbed calcium may accumulate outside the bones, causing calcification in the soft tissues. When this happens, the body is deprived of the mineral’s bone-strengthening benefits.
Aquamin’s unique cell structure allows the body to easily utilize the benefits of calcium and other minerals more effectively than rock-based calcium. It even supports osteoblast, a bone-building mineralization process that encourages bone formation and promotes mineral density to prevent bone loss.
Aside from Aquamin Kalgae has Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), a fat-soluble vitamin that helps calcium absorption while supporting strong bones, muscle function, and a healthy immune system.
The supplement also contains Vitamin K2, another fat-soluble vitamin that leads the calcium to the bones and teeth and prevents artery buildup. “ K2 directs the calcium to the bones, away from the blood vessels. Without K2 it can go to your arteries and cause vascular calcification.”
The recommended Calcium dosage for adults is 1000-1200 mg per day, preferably in small doses twice a day.
