Aquamin® mineralized red algae is collected in the pristine Arctic waters of Iceland. It is rich in calcium, magnesium and more than 72 trace minerals. A growing body of evidence shows that Aquamin® helps to mineralize bone cells, and supports bone density and strength.† Bone mineralization is further enhanced when taken with Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2.† Our Algae-Based Calcium formula is designed to provide the structural components, as well as help support the complex processes involved in building and maintaining strong, healthy bone structure.†



Features
Featuring Aquamin®, a premium, trademarked source of Icelandic mineralized red algae
Contains 72 trace minerals to improve the absorption of calcium
Contains a vegan source of Vitamin D3 sourced from lichen
Contains a vegan source of Vitamin K2 (from natto)
Contains 12 Organic Fruits and Vegetables
Vegan approved formula


Benefits
Calcium has been approved by the FDA for the prevention of osteoporosis.†
Promotes bone growth, density, and strength.†
Contains 72 trace minerals to improve the absorption of calcium, and increase bone mineralization†
Vitamin D3 effectively raises blood levels of vitamin D, a nutrient that helps support calcium absorption, and reduces the amount of calcium lost from the bone (bone resorption). Vitamin D plays many important roles in the body, several of which involve supporting bone health.†
Aquamin® has shown the ability for sufferers of osteoarthritis to reduce NSAID use by up to 50%†
Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is more biologically active than the more common form, Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone).
Vitamin K2 increases the body’s formation of osteocalcin, which helps calcium bind to the
bone matrix. The binding of calcium is critical to the growth and strength of bones.†
Vitamin K2 also increases the formation of a protein (Matrix GLA-Protein) which regulates the amount of calcium present in arterial walls. This helps maintain the elasticity and overall health of arteries.†

Magnesium is an essential nutrient, meaning that your body needs it for healthy functioning. It is found in significant quantities throughout the body and is used for numerous purposes; including muscle relaxation, blood clotting, and the manufacture of ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the body’s main energy molecule). It has been called “nature’s calcium channel blocker”. The idea refers to magnesium’s ability to block calcium from entering muscle and heart cells. A group of prescription heart medications work in a similar way, although much more powerfully. This may be the basis for some of magnesium’s effects when it is taken as a supplement in fairly high doses.

Features
Chelated Magnesium, bound to Amino Acids to aid absorption.


Benefits
Magnesium a cofactor for well over 300 biochemical reactions.†
Magnesium is required for nutrient metabolism and energy production, muscle function and works synergistically with calcium, where calcium is responsible for muscle contraction and magnesium, muscle relaxation.†
Magnesium is also essential for maintaining a normal, healthy blood pressure, and is required for the synthesis of DNA and RNA, cell membrane function and the activity of hormones, neurotransmitters and other cellular regulators.†
Magnesium is an essential dietary mineral, and the second most prevalent electrolyte in the human body.†
Magnesium deficiencies are common in developed countries. A deficiency increases blood pressure, reduces glucose tolerance and causes neural excitation. If magnesium is supplemented to attenuate a deficiency, it acts may reduce blood pressure and improve insulin sensitivity.†
Maintaining healthy magnesium levels is also associated with a protective effect against depression and ADHD.†
CAUTION: A sudden increase in excess doses may cause gastrointestinal distress and diarrhea.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for numerous biochemical and physiological processes in the body. Zinc is important for healthy functioning of all organs. It is essential for more than 30 enzyme reactions that control a variety of functions. Zinc is an important component of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a major protective antioxidant enzyme. Zinc-dependent enzymes are involved in growth, immunity, and tissue repair.† Zinc is especially important for healthy functioning of the prostate and the male reproductive system, and for normal, healthy immune function.† L-OptiZinc® is a unique, patented form of methionine-bound zinc which has been shown in numerous studies to be better absorbed, retained longer and be more effective than other forms of zinc.†

Potassium is one of the seven essential macro minerals. The human body requires at least 100 milligrams of potassium daily to support key processes. A high potassium intake reduces the risk of overall mortality by 20 percent. It also decreases the risk of stroke, lowers blood pressure, protects against loss of muscle mass, preserves bone mineral density, and reduces the formation of kidney stones. The primary functions of potassium in the body include regulating fluid balance and controlling the electrical activity of the heart and other muscles. Fast facts on potassium:

Adults should be consuming 4,700 milligrams (mg) of potassium a day. However, fewer than two percent of people in the U.S. consume enough potassium.
Potassium is a balancing electrolyte: many people with problems with sodium may actually require more potassium.
Beet greens, white beans, soybeans, coconut water, and lima beans are the foods highest in potassium.
Potassium deficiency can lead to fatigue, cramps, weakness, and constipation. It can escalate to paralysis, respiratory failure, and painful gut obstructions.


Features
Potassium 99mg 2% (as amino acid complex).


Benefits
May aid in healthy Blood Pressure support and Cardiovascular Health.†
Supports Bone Health and Muscle Maintenance.†
Often helps people with muscle cramps, especially those associated with certain potassium-depleting medicines.†
Potassium supports blood pressure, cardiovascular health, bone strength, and muscle strength.†

Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a major role in growth, reproduction, antioxidant defenses, and healthy immune function. Zinc is a critical nutrient for the immune system. The normal, healthy development of immune cells, particularly T-lymphocytes depends upon adequate zinc status. Zinc deficiency has been shown to reduce the physical size of the thymus gland; it is here where T cells mature to become fully functional mature T-lymphocytes. These cells are critical for a healthy immune response. Provided as a lozenge, zinc gluconate has been shown to reduce the severity and duration of the common cold, as well as reduce antibiotic use in school-age children with a cold.†



Features
Provides 15 mg of zinc citrate and gluconate per lozenge.
Contains slippery elm and propolis to soothe the throat.
Pleasant taste from natural lemon flavor and sorbitol.


Benefits
Helps support normal, healthy immune function.†
Provides antioxidant support which is essential to immune function.†
Studies show a reduction in the severity and duration of the common cold.†
Studies also show that prophylactic (preventive) use may reduce the number of colds per year, as well as reduce antibiotic usage.†
Slippery elm is a mucilaginous herb that provides soothing support for the mucus lining of the throat and esophagus, both of which may become irritated during a cold/infection.†
