Ocean Calcium is a unique certified natural seaweed-derived multimineral complex, sustainably harvested from Lithothamnion red algae from the crystalline waters of northwest Icel&. Calcified red algae contains over 30% pure calcium, plus around 2.5% magnesium & 72 other trace minerals, including iodine, boron, cobalt, iron, manganese, zinc & copper. The unique mineral matrix & distinctive physical structure of Lithothamnion red algae promotes bone mineral content & enhances the bone integrity. Calcified Red Algage During its growth phase Lithothamnion red algae absorbs essential minerals from the sea, providing Ocean Calcium with its complex blend of minerals & trace elements. The unique naturally porous honeycomb structure of the red algae ensures the slow & effective release of calcium, increasing bioavailability & bone absorption & enhancing utilization by the body. Health Benefits Long-term customers report that Ocean Calcium has changed their lives, giving them stronger bones, relieving pain, reducing inflammation & increasing activity & mobility. Human-based studies show that the ingredients of Ocean Calcium inhibit the onset of osteoporosis, improve bone mineral density, act as an anti-inflammatory, & reduce pain & stiffness in joints. Calcium is essential for healthy teeth & bones & the most abundant mineral in the body. The body also needs calcium for normal muscle & nerve function, to maintain healthy blood circulation, & to assist the release of hormones & enzymes that affect almost every function of the body. The main source of calcium in conventional diets is dairy produce. So Ocean Calcium is particularly valuable for vegetarians & vegans, people with lactose intolerance, & others whose diets may contain insufficient calcium, such as pregnant & breastfeeding mothers & post-menopausal women who may need extra calcium to prevent osteoporosis in later life.
