CALCIUM ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH

Bone Loss Isn’t Just A Loss of Calcium

It’s a loss of ALL the minerals that make your bones strong. In fact, clinical studies show that it takes a total of 13 minerals and 3 vitamins to make your bones stronger.

So if your calcium supplement contains only calcium, you’re getting just one of the 16 nutrients needed for bone health. You’re 15 nutrients short! And without those missing ingredients, you can’t increase the density of your bones. It’s like trying to bake a cake with nothing but flour!

16 Nutrients Algae

Here’s What You’re Missing

  • Vanadium
    Vanadium Icon
    The Tale of the Twisted Goats In 1976, the USDA conducted a study they could never get away with today. Goats were completely deprived of dietary vanadium - and their kids were born with twisted limbs. It’s sad, right. The inescapable lesson: Vanadium is ESSENTIAL to healthy bone. And it may lower blood sugar plus a host of other little studied uses it has in your body.
  • Silica/Silicon
    Silica/Silicon Icon
    You won’t find silica in your calcium supplement, yet silica is essential for collagen production in bone.  And your bones are 50% collagen.  So imagine what happens when you don’t have sufficient silica from your diet? Better yet, studies show that silica also promotes healthier hair, skin, and nails.
  • Strontium
    Strontium Icon
    Accelerate Your Bone Density Growth Scientists have discovered strontium has a unique dual-action on your bones. Strontium inhibits bone loss while simultaneously stimulating bone growth through more than a dozen mechanisms of action — a true win-win for your bones! 
  • Boron
    Boron Icon
    The Bountiful Benefits Boron is a trace mineral essential for the growth and maintenance of healthy bone. Boron helps our bones get the most benefit from vitamin D and our hormones. Boron becomes especially important for postmenopausal women, and for men as testosterone levels start to decline after age 50. Boron is also important for greatly improving wound healing, boosting magnesium absorption and a host of other benefits.1
  • Copper
    Copper Icon
    Why Calcium Needs a Copper Topper Copper is essential in bone metabolism, activating enzymes like lysyl oxidase that incorporate both collagen and elastin into the organic component of bone. Furthermore, inadequate copper levels have also been associated with bone diseases that can result in fragile bones and increased risk of fracture.
  • Manganese
    Manganese Icon
    There’s No Bone Mineralization Without Manganese Manganese helps the body form connective tissue, blood clotting factors, sex hormones — and bones. That’s because manganese is a cofactor for several enzymes involved in bone formation. Specifically, it is critical in the formation of the ground substance to which collagen adheres, and for the development of chondrocytes, the cells that secrete cartilage and become bone-building osteoblasts and eventually osteocytes which regulate the entire bone renewal process.2 Without manganese, bone mineralization simply cannot start!
  • Nickel
    Nickel Icon
    A Penny For Your Thoughts on Nickel Nickel is used for increasing iron absorption, preventing iron-poor blood (anemia), and treating weak bones. Like zinc and copper, nickel serves as a cofactor for enzymes involved in bone remodeling processes. Too little or too much nickel can affect the distribution of other nutrients in your body, including calcium. Given the obvious benefit calcium has on our bones, you can see why an adequate level of nickel is critical to maintaining healthy bone! 
  • Phosphorus
    Phosphorus Icon
    Meet Calcium’s Bone-building Partner After calcium, phosphorus is the most abundant mineral in the body with approximately 85% of the body’s phosphorus being found in your bones. It’s fundamental to growth, maintenance, and is necessary along with calcium and magnesium for proper growth and formation of bones. According to a cross-sectional analyses of the CDC’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey high phosphorus  intake is associated with a 2.1% improvement in BMD and also reduced risk of osteoporosis by 45% in adults whose calcium and phosphorus intakes were within normal ranges.3
  • Selenium
    Selenium Icon
    Decreases Bone Loss and Increases BMD Selenium is the required cofactor for two groups of enzymes intimately tied to bone health: the selenoenzymes, which neutralize bone-destructive free radicals and the deiodinase enzymes, which are necessary for the healthy thyroid function that keeps our bone renewal metabolism running. For these reasons, low selenium results in decreased bone mineral density.
  • Zinc
    Zinc Icon
    Low Zinc Equals Low Bone Density Zinc is an essential mineral that is required for normal skeletal growth and according to studies4 appears to be able to promote bone regeneration. That’s because zinc can positively affect osteoblasts, the cells responsible for new bone formation, while inhibiting osteoclast activity, the cells responsible for removing old bone — making it a vital nutrient for both men and women, especially those in their post-menopausal years.
  • Calcium
    Calcium Icon
    The Rock Solid Argument for Plant-based Calcium Your body doesn’t produce calcium, but it’s essential for healthy bones. The only way your body can get the calcium it needs is through food or from supplements — and if you’re like most people, you may find it difficult to get enough calcium from food alone!5 The problem with supplementation is that most calcium supplements are made from crushed up rocks, so they’re hard to digest. But since AlgaeCal is from a plant, it's super absorbable and gentle on your body. And rock-based calcium only contains calcium, but your bones need multiple nutrients to increase bone density. Calcium alone is not enough.
  • Magnesium
    Magnesium Icon
    No Magnesium, No New Bone Without magnesium we cannot produce osteoblasts, the cells that create new bone, nor can we activate the enzyme that converts vitamin D into 1,25-D, the form in which vitamin D helps us absorb calcium. So a lack of magnesium means fewer osteoblasts and less calcium - a perfect recipe for fragile bones. 
  • Potassium
    Potassium Icon
    Bone Health’s Unsung Protector A Korean study found that potassium intake was associated with improved bone mineral density (BMD) in older men and postmenopausal women. That’s because by helping to neutralize the acidic pH resulting from the Standard American Diet, potassium prevents the loss of calcium from bone to restore a more alkaline pH, thus conserving calcium within our bones and reducing its loss in urine.7
  • Vitamin D3
    Vitamin D3 Icon
    The Secret Weapon for Strong Bones and Muscles Vitamin D is a vital nutrient for your health. It preserves muscle fibers that help increase muscle strength and reduce the risk of falls, can reduce cancer cell growth, and help control infections and reduce inflammation. More importantly, it’s essential to helping your body absorb calcium. Without this essential nutrient, and the correct amount of it, your body can't absorb calcium, and that's bad news for your bones.8
  • Vitamin K2-7
    Vitamin K2-7 Icon
    Bone-Building’s Traffic Cop Why K2-7? Because, just like a policeman directing traffic, vitamin K2 collects calcium from your bloodstream and directs it into your bones. That doesn’t just help keep your bones healthy and strong, it keeps calcium from getting into your soft tissue where it can cause heart attacks, strokes, and even Alzheimer's. That makes K2-7 both a bone-builder, and a soft tissue protector.
  • Vitamin C
    Vitamin C Icon
    Essential for bone mineralization The benefits of vitamin C are widely known9. It can help lower the risks of many cancers, including breast, lung, and colon cancers. It’s been shown to help prevent age-related eye diseases like macular degeneration and cataracts. And is vital to the body's healing process. Regarding bone health, vitamin C is essential to the formation of collagen, the foundation that bone mineralization is built on, and is an antioxidant that helps your body fight the root cause of bone loss. A 17-year study found that a high intake of vitamin C reduced the likelihood of hip and non-vertebral fractures. Studies have also associated increased vitamin C levels with greater bone density.

AlgaeCal sells the world’s only calcium supplement clinically supported to increases bone density.

  • How do I get my additional Dr. Lucas 10% savings?
    When you order during this special offer you will save an additional 10% on top of our already discounted pricing. The additional savings will automatically be applied during checkout and will be visible before you confirm your purchase.
  • What is AlgaeCal Plus?

    AlgaeCal is a South American marine algae species, Lithothamnium superpositum (or Algas calcareas as the locals call it). This kiwi-fruit sized algae is sustainably hand harvested in the Atlantic ocean, sun dried, then milled into a powder. There is no extraction process or additives used – just pure whole food calcium and minerals coming from a living plant.

    AlgaeCal powder is the foundational ingredient in our products, AlgaeCal Basic and AlgaeCal Plus. AlgaeCal powder has significant advantages over traditional calcium supplements that are pure calcium because AlgaeCal contains all 13 known essential bone supporting minerals: calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, nickel, silica, copper, vanadium, potassium, zinc, boron, selenium and strontium. Traditional calcium carbonate and calcium citrate supplements are made from limestone and marble – and your body does not absorb rocks very well – so plant-sourced AlgaeCal has the benefit of being body-friendly and better absorbed into your bones.

    To maximize your bone-building, take 4 capsules of AlgaeCal Plus a day. (This was the dosage that led to the most significant bone density increases in clinical trials).

    We recommend splitting the daily 4 capsule dose into 2 servings of 2 capsules throughout the day. Your body can only absorb 500mg of calcium at a time, so taking more than 2 AlgaeCal capsules in one serving would lead to unabsorbed calcium.

    And finally, it’s best to take your AlgaeCal Plus with food. That’s because taking calcium with food increases how well you absorb it. When you eat, your stomach produces acid that dissolves the minerals in AlgaeCal Plus so they can be properly absorbed when they reach your intestinal tract.

    For more information on scheduling your AlgaeCal supplements with meals –– and any prescription medication or supplements you’re currently taking –– click here.

  • What is Strontium Boost?

    Strontium is a mineral that is naturally found in the earth, in your food, and in your bones. Our product, Strontium Boost, contains the mineral strontium bound to citrate (think citric acid from fruit) to form (natural) strontium citrate. Strontium Boost helps with your bone remodelling process by increasing the rate of your bone building cells so that you build bone faster and at the same time, it slows down your bone deterioration. Strontium Boost is the only strontium citrate product backed by human clinical studies showing its safety and efficacy when it comes to low bone density. In fact, Strontium Boost, together with AlgaeCal Plus, is guaranteed to increase your bone density in as little as 6 months.

  • Do I have to take both AlgaeCal and Strontium Boost?

    If you are suffering from bone loss, it is best to take both AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost. Together they are clinically supported to increase bone density in as little as 6 months – at any age! They also increase your bone density at a faster rate than AlgaeCal Plus alone.

    For example, studies prove AlgaeCal Plus alone can increase bone density by an average of 1.3% per year, compared with an average bone density increase of about 4% per year with AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost together. This is significant for those suffering from bone loss who may be experiencing more than 1% bone density loss per year. Taking the two together also gives the bone-building process a “kick start” to increase bone density safely and naturally, ensuring you have covered any potential losses. Want to hear success stories from real customers? Watch their videos and see before and after DEXA scans here.

  • I have trouble swallowing pills. How big are the capsules? Is it OK to open the capsules and mix it with food/beverages?

    AlgaeCal Plus, AlgaeCal Basic, and Strontium Boost all use soft capsules which are ¾” long and easy to swallow. If you do have trouble swallowing them, the two-part capsules can be pulled apart. You can then sprinkle the tasteless powder into your favorite drinks and food. We recommend semi-solid foods such as smoothies, applesauce or yogurt and avoiding hot drinks as temperatures above 120 degrees Fahrenheit as it may reduce the potency of the vitamins C, D, and K2. Please note that the AlgaeCal powder is only partially water soluble due to the many natural minerals and therefore does not dissolve completely in liquid.

  • Does AlgaeCal Plus cause side effects such as deposits in kidneys or arteries?

    Unlike traditional, rock-derived calcium supplements, AlgaeCal has no adverse side effects such as kidney stones or arterial calcification. AlgaeCal is a natural, plant-sourced calcium that is easy for your body to absorb. It’s similar to calcium you get from eating vegetables such as broccoli, kale and peas. Some studies have shown that calcium from food sources does not increase soft tissue calcification because foods that naturally contain calcium also supply other minerals, which helps transfer the calcium directly into your bones rather than soft tissues like arteries, kidneys and eyes. Additional magnesium, boron, vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 are added into AlgaeCal Plus to optimize absorption and transport to the bone rather than soft tissues. All these factors translate to efficient absorption and placement into bone tissue. AlgaeCal is also much safer for you because it is more effective at a lower dose. At 720 mg per day of calcium, AlgaeCal Plus is increasing bone density in adults. Compare that to regular calcium supplements that have been studied at 1200 mg per day – and only slow bone loss.

  • Can I take AlgaeCal Plus if I am on bone medications?

    Absolutely. All bone drugs require calcium supplementation to supply the needed calcium for bone building – and AlgaeCal Plus is the highest quality calcium available. We recommend separating your prescription medication from your AlgaeCal.

  • Does my doctor know about AlgaeCal?

    Yes, it's likely your doctor may already be familiar with AlgaeCal, particularly if they’re supportive of natural treatments. However, to make sure they have all the necessary details, we suggest printing our ”Take It To Your Doctor” sheet and bringing it to your next appointment. This will help your doctor provide you with the best advice tailored to your health needs.

  • What are the three clinical studies backing AlgaeCal?

    Bone Study 1

    This human study involving more than 200 women and men found that AlgaeCal formulations increased bone density by more than 2% on average. To gain bone density at all is an unusual finding as humans normally lose approximately 1% of bone each year after age 40. This open label study measured bone density of participants at the beginning, then again after six months of taking AlgaeCal formulations (including strontium). The primary outcome measure was bone mineral density and a secondary measure was safety as reported in a panel of 43 blood tests along with quality of life questionnaire.

    Calcium studies often report an “increase in bone density”, but it is never an outright increase – it is an increase compared to the placebo group which is declining – so the participants are actually losing bone. This study is a landmark result with a real increase in BMD.

    Bone Study 2

    Three groups of post-menopausal women each took different AlgaeCal formulations with all groups increasing bone density at one year. The smallest average increase among the 3 groups was 1.3% – an extraordinary result since traditional calcium supplements do not increase bone density. This comparative effectiveness study measured bone density via DEXA scan at baseline and then again at 6 months and one year. AlgaeCal’s results were compared to published data on traditional calcium supplements BMD scores.

    Post menopausal women are expected to lose approximately 1% of bone density per year with traditional calcium supplements only slowing that rate of loss slightly.

    Bone Study 3

    JACN Ragus SealBone studies one and two showed adults increase bone density in one year or less with AlgaeCal formulations, but the question of what happened to bone density in years following remained unanswered. This study showed women in their mid 60’s gained 7.3% more bone over 7 years – and that it happened in a linear fashion with about 1% added per year. Safety was well established by a panel of 45 blood chemistries drawn at baseline and ending.

    This is significant given recent studies suggesting traditional calcium supplements may increase cardiovascular risks. This study was published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition in February 2016.
  • What is the Stronger Bones for Life Guarantee?

    You need strong bones for the rest of your life to enjoy, rather than endure, your golden years. With our guarantee, you can continue enjoying your favorite activities for the rest of your days.

    Measurable improvements will appear at 6 months from when you start your AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost program. So if your next DEXA scan is scheduled half a year or more from now, we guarantee you will see a bone density increase.

    You may choose to wait for your next scheduled scan so that it is paid for by your insurance, or you may choose to pay out of pocket to check your results earlier. Either way is fine.

    Just allow at least 6 consecutive months of taking the products as directed before your follow-up scan. We encourage you to take a scan every year to make sure you’re still building new bone.

    IMPORTANT: Ensure you get your DEXA scan at the same clinic every time. Ideally, you’d get your scan on the same machine, too. That way, every scan is directly comparable to the last. If any DEXA does not show an improvement in either hip or spine bone density you will be refunded for all products purchased since your previous scan.

    Your 3 Steps to Guaranteed Bone Density Increases

    1. Have a DEXA scan that is not more than 30 days old to establish a baseline measurement. (If you had a DEXA scan more than 30 days ago, your guaranteed period will launch from your next scan onward. So don’t wait! Get started building healthy new bone right now before your guarantee begins.)
    2. Take AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost at full dose as directed for at least six months.

    3. Get your follow up DEXA scan from the same clinic as your first scan. It doesn’t matter when… six, twelve, even 24 months after you start – as long as you have continued to use your products between scans.

    If your follow up scan does not show an increase in your hip or spine bone density, we refund every penny you paid us between those two scans.
