Limestone-based calcium supplements may increase risks to the heart by contributing to arterial calcification, according to recent studies. To help reduce this risk, it's important to choose a food source calcium that is well-absorbed by the body. A food source, plant-based calcium such as Aquamin® from Icelandic red algae, is a better calcium!
Many calcium supplements are mined from limestone - a sedimentary rock. After processing, this material contains only a single mineral - calcium, which is poorly absorbed and contributes to arterial calcification
Certified Naturals Calcium Magnesium with Aquamin is a whole food calcium that is not mined from rock. It's uniquely different than sedimentary rock limestone calcium.
Certified Naturals Calcium Magnesium Plus K2 capsule formula contains the unique plant-source calcium source known as Aquamin™. Aquamin™ is an award-winning, clinically studied ingredient sourced from the Icelandic red-algae Lithothamnion calcareum.
Aquamin™ calcium contains a complex of 73 micro minerals making it an ideal supplement for bone health. Certified Naturals™ also contains added magnesium, potassium, boron, zinc and important bone vitamins D3 and K2.
