Calcium is well-known for its health benefits, especially for athletes and active individuals. EFSA-approved health claims highlight its vital role in supporting normal muscle function, crucial for exercise and recovery, while also maintaining strong bones to help reduce the risk of injuries. Calcium also supports energy-yielding metabolism, which may enhance overall physical performance.
In the past year, according to Innova, 62% of consumers globally consider choosing natural foods as the best way to ensure a healthy diet. Our clean-label, natural calcium, offered under our PlantNutra® brand, is sourced from Lithothamnium calcareum and is standardised to contain a minimum of 32% calcium and 2.4% magnesium. We have material readily available in stock… Contact your sales manager now.
This unique seaweed is a member of the red algae family and naturally collects and binds minerals from seawater, resulting in a coral-like appearance as it transitions from bright red to white over time. It also contains more than 30 different trace minerals (not stated on specification). Harvested in the North Atlantic near Norway, our Lithothamnium calcareum is typically less dense than calcium carbonate sourced from limestone and other materials, allowing it to dissolve more quickly in the stomach.
Additionally, natural nutrient sources are generally better recognised by the body compared to their synthetic counterparts, making them a great choice for athletes and active people looking for natural, vegan or lactose-free solutions.
