Aquamin® mineralized red algae is collected in the pristine Arctic waters of Iceland. It is rich in calcium, magnesium and more than 72 trace minerals. A growing body of evidence shows that Aquamin® helps to mineralize bone cells, and supports bone density and strength.† Bone mineralization is further enhanced when taken with Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2.† Our Algae-Based Calcium formula is designed to provide the structural components, as well as help support the complex processes involved in building and maintaining strong, healthy bone structure.†
Features
Featuring Aquamin®, a premium, trademarked source of Icelandic mineralized red algae
Contains 72 trace minerals to improve the absorption of calcium
Contains a vegan source of Vitamin D3 sourced from lichen
Contains a vegan source of Vitamin K2 (from natto)

Vegan approved formula
Benefits
Calcium has been approved by the FDA for the prevention of osteoporosis.†
Promotes bone growth, density, and strength.†
Contains 72 trace minerals to improve the absorption of calcium, and increase bone mineralization†
Vitamin D3 effectively raises blood levels of vitamin D, a nutrient that helps support calcium absorption, and reduces the amount of calcium lost from the bone (bone resorption). Vitamin D plays many important roles in the body, several of which involve supporting bone health.†
Aquamin® has shown the ability for sufferers of osteoarthritis to reduce NSAID use by up to 50%†
Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is more biologically active than the more common form, Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone).
Vitamin K2 increases the body’s formation of osteocalcin, which helps calcium bind to thebone matrix. The binding of calcium is critical to the growth and strength of bones.†
Vitamin K2 also increases the formation of a protein (Matrix GLA-Protein) which regulates the amount of calcium present in arterial walls. This helps maintain the elasticity and overall health of arteries.†

Whole Food Magnesium Powder is sourced from whole food marine algae (Lithothamnion calcareum). The source of the magnesium in this formula (Aquamin®) is harvested in the pristine waters of the North Atlantic. Its unique honeycomb cell structure makes it more bioavailable than many other magnesium products. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body that is part of over three hundred biological processes. Most notably it promotes healthy bones and muscles but it is also instrumental in supporting relaxation and can act as a calmative. *

Benefits:
Clinical Study supports that Aquamin® ‘is bio-accessible and bioavailable to a significantly greater degree’ than other forms of Magnesium.
Magnesium a cofactor for well over 300 biochemical reactions *
Magnesium is required for nutrient metabolism and energy production, muscle function and works synergistically with calcium, where calcium is responsible for muscle contraction and magnesium, muscle relaxation. *
Magnesium is also essential for maintaining a normal, healthy blood pressure, and is required for the synthesis of DNA and RNA, cell membrane function and the activity of hormones, neurotransmitters and other cellular *
Common Questions
QUESTION: What is the chemical type of magnesium found in this algae? Is Magnesium Hydroxide or is that only in the marine salt water? I assume that the magnesium in the product is from the algae itself, not the sea water. What is the chemical formula?
ANSWER: There are 2 components to the Aquamin™ ingredients. Both types are Magnesium Hydroxide.
First, Aquamin™ Mg TG is a natural mineral source produced from pristine Irish seawater.[340 mg of Magnesium/scoop come from this source].
Second, Aquamin™ F is also added: it is produced from mineralized seaweed (Lithothamnion sp.). The seaweed is harvested from the seabed off the West coast of Ireland and North West coast of Iceland from clear, pollution free, mineral rich Atlantic waters. The dried calciferous material is not in but on the seaweed, and when dried, shaken off. {This contributes about 10 mg of Magnesium/scoop].
Aquamin® Mg is from naturally ionic seawater and is a clean, sustainable, and natural source of magnesium. It is a superior whole food source of magnesium, with higher absorption and assimilation rates than more common forms like magnesium. In fact, a study* from the University College Cork, Ireland has shown Aquamin™ Mg is over three times more soluble and absorbable than magnesium oxide (the type most likely to cause diarrhea), and it's even slightly more absorbable than magnesium chloride, which is another better-tolerated type, but which only contains about one-third the amount of elemental magnesium by volume (12%, vs. 33% for Aquamin Mg), meaning you'd have to take far more teaspoons of a magnesium chloride version to get the same dosage as this new type, magnesium hydroxide.

QUESTION: What is the Calcium content? Red algae usually has much higher calcium content than Magnesium content, is that true in the product or is calcium taken out?
ANSWER: There is not enough Calcium in the remnant material to either require a declaration or support a claim of calcium on the label.
