What it is

Organic Marine Algae Calcium is a source of calcium derived from calcified marine algae, typically *Lithothamnium* species. The algae are harvested, cleaned, and then processed to extract and concentrate the calcium carbonate, often with other trace minerals. It is considered an organic source of calcium.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Organic Marine Algae Calcium primarily as a nutrient to fortify foods and beverages with calcium. It is often used in dietary supplements, nutritional shakes, and fortified foods like chips and pretzels. Its neutral taste and texture make it suitable for a wide range of products.

Health notes

In the U.S., calcium is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. Calcium is essential for bone health. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated calcium compounds. Evidence generally supports adequate calcium intake for bone health, though research continues on optimal levels and sources.

Allergen info

Organic Marine Algae Calcium is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
