Igennus Algae Calcium & Magnesium Supplement, Plant Based, High Absorption, K2 & D3, Non-GMO Red Algae Mineral Complex for Bone & Teeth Support, for Women and Men, with Boron, Vegan, 60 Tablets

Calcium Magnesium Marine Mineral Complex provides an optimal calcium-to-magnesium ratio of 2:1 for long-term health. We use Aquamin marine algae sourced from Iceland, an all-natural, wholefood source of calcium and magnesium. With its honeycomb-like cytoskeleton, it looks more like coral than algae, absorbing calcium, magnesium and trace minerals, including zinc and selenium, throughout its growth phase. The algae then breaks down naturally and settles on the seabed, from where it is collected using a sustainable harvesting process. Marine magnesium is created by filtering pure seawater collected off the Irish coast, removing any impurities while retaining concentrated, natural magnesium. All raw materials are analysed for contaminants, including PCBs, dioxins and heavy metals.

Vitamin D helps the body absorb more calcium from the gut. vitamin K2 MK-7 distributes calcium into bones. Importantly, this keeps calcium out of soft tissues. Magnesium assists with calcium transport and promotes its movement into in bones. Working hand-in-hand, vitamin D enhances magnesium absorption, while magnesium is essential for converting vitamin D to its active form. Boron supports the absorption of calcium and magnesium and decreases their excretion. It also directly stimulates cells that build bone and increases vitamin D absorption.

Calcium sourced from Icelandic red algae & mineral-rich seawater provides a safe, bioavailable alternative to calcium carbonate, with absorbable magnesium. Due to the algae’s porous, honeycomb structure, it is more easily digested and absorbed than standard calcium carbonate derived from rock. The magnesium content is further boosted by the addition of Aquamin magnesium, a purified, concentrated seawater extract – high in elemental magnesium with excellent gut solubility and uptake. We include vitamin D in the bioactive D3 form sourced from algae, which only grows in extremely pure environments. This balanced mineral complex also features naturally-occurring trace minerals, including selenium and zinc.

Bone health

It’s never too early or too late to focus on good bone health by ensuring an adequate intake of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K and boron. Calcium supports normal growth and bone development in children, and we reach peak bone density around age 30; we lose about 1% each year thereafter. Age-related loss of bone mineral density affects both men and women, however, bone loss accelerates for women post-menopause, making it especially important for women over age 50 to reduce the loss of bone mineral density.*

Muscle function

Muscles and bones must function optimally for physical activity, or you may experience stiffness and cramps after a workout. Strenuous exercise requires increased magnesium intake, but Western diets are often low in magnesium. Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle contraction and electrolyte balance, and is also needed for energy production and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.*

Healthy ageing

With ageing, the ability to absorb vitamins and minerals may be reduced and supplementing may be beneficial for overall health. Magnesium and calcium support energy production and nervous system function. Calcium, magnesium and vitamins D & K support numerous biochemical reactions in the body, including contributing to maintaining healthy teeth, the functioning of digestive enzymes, normal blood clotting and cell division. Magnesium also promotes normal psychological function, especially important with advancing age.*
