Calcium [Algae source] is the combination of Ocean-based Algae source Calcium. This Calcium is extracted from Algas Calcareas, a red Algae found on the shores of South America. Algae source Calcium ensures better absorption than Coral source Calcium or other Calcium Carbonate due to its fibrous chemical structure. Calcium is absorbed in the intestine which then passes into the bloodstream and is deposited into bone.75% of Calcium from Algae source is absorbed in the intestine. In a USP dissolution test (simulating stomach condition), 97% of Calcium from Algae source goes into solution.
