In August we discussed the importance of calcium in maintaining a healthy body. Most of us do not get the daily recommended allowance of calcium from our diets, so supplementing is a must. Recently, one of our readers, Bill, pointed out that a study done by Oxford reported that too many vegans are not getting enough calcium in their diet. A report on this study can be found on Bill’s site VerdantReports.org. In doing a little more research on this subject, I stumbled accross AlgaeCal.
AlgaeCal is a completely plant based calcium supplement (perfect for vegans) that has proven to not only protect bone loss, but to increase bone density. In addition, this company offers a tool to help you make sure you are getting enough calcium each day. Using the calculator you can input what you have eaten and find out whether your diet is meeting the key nutrients for good bone health. This company also has a study from 2008 to show the benefits of using their product. Check it out today.
