From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is calcified green algae compared with a 10 centimeter (3.93 in.) marker.

Algas calcareas, also known as AlgaeCal, is a plant-based dietary supplement derived from Lithothamnion superpositum, a red marine algae native to South America. It is a source of calcium, magnesium, and other trace minerals. Several studies have shown safety and improvement in bone density.[1][2]

Background

[edit]

Algas calcareas was first found by Marcos Norman to reduce fusion temperatures in steel manufacturing. Norman then left Morris Kwugsem International to begin a study on South American marine algae that has lasted for 29 years.[3]
