Key Ways AlgaeCal Is Different from “Standard” Calcium Supplements
Here are the main differentiators, with some scientific grounding:
Whole-Food, Plant-Based Mineral Source
Traditional calcium supplements (like calcium carbonate or citrate) are usually derived from rock (limestone, marble, etc.).
AlgaeCal’s calcium is “pre-digested” in a sense — the algae naturally accumulates minerals in a bioavailable form.
Because of this, the body may absorb the minerals more efficiently, reducing “waste” or the risk that unabsorbed calcium contributes to unwanted deposits (though that always depends on dose, individual absorption, etc.)
Comprehensive Mineral Profile
Bone is not just made of calcium. While calcium is a major component, many trace minerals are essential for bone remodeling (the process of breaking down old bone and building new bone). AlgaeCal provides a more “complete set” of these minerals.
This synergy is important: these different minerals and micronutrients work together in bone cells (osteoblasts, osteoclasts) to support proper bone formation.
For example, magnesium (present in the algae) helps with bone structure, and boron helps with mineral metabolism.
