What is Algacal
Algacal is a premium calcium source derived from sustainably harvested marine algae. Unlike traditional mineral sources, it provides calcium in a natural matrix that includes additional trace minerals, supporting enhanced bioavailability and absorption. This makes it a preferred ingredient for modern formulations targeting health-conscious consumers.
Its plant-based origin aligns with vegan and clean label trends, offering a sustainable alternative to mined calcium sources. Algacal is typically used in nutraceutical, food, and beverage applications, where it contributes to bone health and overall wellness claims. With a neutral taste profile and excellent dispersibility, it integrates easily into a wide range of formulations without compromising flavour or texture.
