Calcium from marine red algae

A Plant-Source, Safer Calcium

Limestone-based calcium supplements may increase the risk of heart disease by contributing to arterial calcification, according to recent studies. To help reduce this risk, it's important to choose a food source calcium that is well-absorbed by the body. A food source, plant-based calcium such as Aquamin® from Icelandic red algae, is a safer calcium!


Plant Source Calcium plus Magnesium, K2, D3, Potassium, Boron, Zinc

  • Aquamin Calcium from Icelandic Red Algae
  • Marine-source Aquamin Magnesium
  • 74 minerals including potassium, boron, zinc, D3 and K2
  • Sustainably harvested calcium
  • Easier to swallow capsules vs large tablets
  • Whole food calcium; not mined from limestone rock


Many calcium supplements are mined from limestone - a sedimentary rock. After processing, this material contains only a single mineral - calcium, which is poorly absorbed and contributes to arterial calcification


Certified Naturals Calcium Magnesium with Aquamin is a whole food calcium that is not minded from rock. It's uniquely different than sedimentary rock limestone calcium.
