If you’re using an older anticoagulant (blood thinner), such as warfarin or Coumadin, vitamin K2 can interfere with the medication, so AlgaeCal Plus isn’t suitable. In that case, regular AlgaeCal (without vitamin K2) is the safer choice.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, many people today are prescribed newer anticoagulants, called Factor Xa inhibitors (e.g., apixaban, rivaroxaban) or Direct Thrombin inhibitors (e.g., dabigatran).\u003cbr\u003eThese medications do not interact with vitamin K2, which means AlgaeCal Plus can often be taken safely alongside them.\u003cbr\u003eIf you’re on a blood thinner, talk to your doctor about which type you’re using and whether a newer medication might allow you to benefit from AlgaeCal Plus. If switching isn’t an option, AlgaeCal is your best alternative for plant-based calcium and minerals.\u003cbr\u003eAlgaeCal is the ONLY calcium supplement clinically supported to STOP bone loss.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s the difference between rock-based calcium and plant-based calcium?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt all comes down to source and absorption.\u003cbr\u003eRock-based calcium\u003cbr\u003eMost conventional calcium supplements are made by grinding up rocks such as limestone or marble. Chemically, this produces calcium carbonate or calcium citrate—forms that are essentially purified stone. And because humans are not designed to digest rock, these supplements:\u003cbr\u003e- Absorb poorly in the digestive tract, especially if stomach acid is low (which becomes more common with age).\u003cbr\u003e- Provide only calcium and little else, leaving out the dozens of trace minerals your bones need to increase bone density\u003cbr\u003e- Often require high daily doses (1,000–1,200 mg) to have even a modest effect—and even then, clinical studies show they merely slow bone loss rather than increase bone density.\u003cbr\u003ePlant-based calcium\u003cbr\u003ePlant calcium comes from living organisms—for example, the marine algae used in AlgaeCal (Mesophyllum superpositum). This algae absorbs a wide spectrum of ocean minerals as it grows, creating a natural mineral matrix similar to human bone.\u003cbr\u003eKey advantages include:\u003cbr\u003e- Better absorption: Your body recognizes plant minerals as food, allowing more efficient uptake even at lower doses (the 720 mg in AlgaeCal was the exact amount used in clinical trials that stopped bone loss).\u003cbr\u003e- Complete mineral profile: Along with calcium, the algae naturally provides magnesium, boron, silica, zinc, and other trace minerals proven to support new bone formation.\u003cbr\u003e- Clinical evidence: Human studies show plant-based AlgaeCal not only slows bone loss, but can stop bone loss—something no other calcium has ever demonstrated.\u003cbr\u003eBottom line\u003cbr\u003eRock-based calcium is literally ground stone. Hard to absorb and incomplete. Plant-based calcium is food for your bones: easier to digest, naturally balanced with essential co-factors, and clinically shown to help your bones grow stronger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between AlgaeCal and other algae-based calciums?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlgaeCal isn’t just another algae calcium. It’s the only one of its kind.\u003cbr\u003e- Exclusive Source:\u003cbr\u003eAlgaeCal has the worldwide exclusive rights to a rare red marine algae called Mesophyllum superpositum. No other supplement company can use this species. This unique algae naturally absorbs a complete spectrum of 13 bone-supporting minerals in ratios that closely match human bone.\u003cbr\u003e- Clinically Supported:\u003cbr\u003eAlgaeCal is the only calcium supplement—of any kind—that is supported by published human clinical studies showing actual increases in bone density.\u003cbr\u003eOther algae-based calciums may provide plant calcium, but none have peer-reviewed research demonstrating measurable bone gains.\u003cbr\u003eBecause of this exclusive species and unmatched clinical evidence, AlgaeCal stands alone as the only algae-based calcium that is both unique in source and supported to strengthen bones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is in AlgaeCal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery serving of AlgaeCal delivers a whole-food mineral complex harvested from the exclusive marine algae Mesophyllum superpositum—plus added vitamin D3 to help your body absorb it. Together, these nutrients create the complete mineral matrix clinically supported to stop bone loss:\u003cbr\u003eNaturally Occurring Minerals (from the algae)\u003cbr\u003e- Calcium – the primary structural mineral of bone\u003cbr\u003e- Magnesium – helps activate vitamin D and supports new bone formation\u003cbr\u003e- Boron – aids calcium and magnesium absorption and supports bone-protective hormones\u003cbr\u003e- Zinc – essential for collagen production and bone tissue repair\u003cbr\u003e- Copper – strengthens collagen cross-links for resilient bones\u003cbr\u003e- Manganese – assists in cartilage and connective tissue formation\u003cbr\u003e- Selenium – antioxidant that protects bone cells from oxidative stress\u003cbr\u003e- Strontium – supports bone formation and reduces bone breakdown\u003cbr\u003e- Silica (Silicon) – promotes collagen production and mineralization\u003cbr\u003e- Vanadium – helps regulate enzymes involved in bone growth\u003cbr\u003e- Nickel – trace mineral involved in bone and cartilage enzyme function\u003cbr\u003e- Phosphorus – partners with calcium to form the mineral crystals that harden bone\u003cbr\u003e- Potassium – helps maintain a pH balance that prevents mineral loss from bone\u003cbr\u003eAdded Nutrient\u003cbr\u003eVitamin D3 – enhances calcium absorption so minerals reach your bones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow many AlgaeCal capsules should I take, and when?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the best bone-health results, take 3 AlgaeCal capsules per day. This is the same daily amount used in the clinical studies where participants saw measurable improvements in bone density after one year.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Split the dose: Take one capsule three times a day (for example, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner).\u003cbr\u003e- Always take with food: Calcium absorbs best when your stomach produces acid during a meal. Stomach acid helps dissolve the minerals in AlgaeCal so they can be fully absorbed in the intestines.\u003cbr\u003eIf you take prescription medications or other supplements, leave a 2–3 hour gap between AlgaeCal and your medication unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s the difference between AlgaeCal and AlgaeCal Plus?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake AlgaeCal to STOP bone loss. Take AlgaeCal Plus to INCREASE bone density. Both products begin with the same foundation: plant-based calcium from our exclusive red marine algae (Mesophyllum superpositum), which naturally provides all 13 essential bone-supporting minerals. \u003cbr\u003eAlgaeCal is ideal for people who cannot take vitamin K2, such as those using older anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications like warfarin or Coumadin, because it delivers the complete mineral matrix with vitamin D3 and without vitamin K2.\u003cbr\u003eAlgaeCal Plus contains everything in AlgaeCal but goes a step further by adding vitamin C for collagen formation and vitamin K2-7 (MK-7) to guide calcium safely into bones and away from soft tissues, while also providing slightly more vitamin D3, magnesium, and boron for even stronger bone support. \u003cbr\u003eClinical studies show that AlgaeCal Plus produces the greatest improvements in bone density, so if you’re not on an older blood thinner—or if you’ve switched to a newer anticoagulant that doesn’t interact with K2—AlgaeCal Plus is the best choice for maximum bone-building benefits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"AlgaeCal","offers":[{"title":"90","offer_id":48728794431720,"sku":"850036778066","price":50.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/7635\/8632\/files\/61wkjG2-ZCL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1783729885","url":"https:\/\/nehealth.ca\/zh-hant\/products\/algaecal","provider":"Nature's Essence","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
