Plant based calcium

Plant-based calcium is commonly sourced from mineral-rich marine algae such as Lithothamnion. The algae accumulate calcium, magnesium and other trace minerals within a porous mineral structure.

• Scientific identity: Plant-Based Calcium; source: Lithothamnion, calcified red algae.
• How it works: Built by living algae: Calcified marine algae such as Lithothamnion draw calcium and magnesium from seawater into a porous mineral skeleton. Harvested and milled: That skeleton is collected, cleaned and milled, arriving with magnesium and a spectrum of trace minerals already present.
• Primary function: Its calcium contributes to normal bone and tooth maintenance, while the algal source provides a naturally occurring multi-mineral profile.
• What it supports: Plant-Based Calcium supports strong bones and comfortable movement through a naturally derived calcium source with complementary trace minerals.
• Important consideration: The elemental mineral amount is more meaningful than the weight of its source compound.

CARPEDIEM selected Plant-Based Calcium for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

• Formulation purpose: Its calcium contributes to normal bone and tooth maintenance, while the algal source provides a naturally occurring multi-mineral profile.
• Used in: CARPEDIEM BoneMax and CARPEDIEM Women’s Bone & Daily Wellness Stack.
• Works alongside: Plant-Based Calcium complements Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2-7 and Magnesium to support balanced daily mineral nutrition.
• Meaningful contribution: Plant-Based Calcium supports strong bones and comfortable movement through a naturally derived calcium source with complementary trace minerals. Contributes to normal muscle contraction and everyday skeletal mineral balance.
• Quality and scientific context: The elemental mineral amount is more meaningful than the weight of its source compound. 1 ingredient-specific study is included because the research reports a relevant benefit.
