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.
Background
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.
