What is GreenCALCIUM?

GreenCALCIUM is made using 100% organic Lithothamnium calcareum marine plant from the South West coast of Ireland and the North West coast of Iceland that contains 34% elemental calcium and 72 other trace minerals.

After a five-year life span spent absorbing essential minerals from the Atlantic waters, this calcium-rich plant calcifies naturally and settles on the sea bed from which it is sustainably harvested, taken ashore and washed, dried and crushed.

Nothing else is added. As only the mature/aged material is harvested - not the live young plant, sustainability is assured.

The Lithothamnium calcareum marine plant regenerates itself continuously, so there is no interference with its renewal process. GreenCALCIUM is harvested in Ireland and Iceland under strict ISO 9001-2000 certification, is Organic, Kosher and Halal Certified and GRAS Approved. This makes GreenCALCIUM the perfect calcium supplement for all people, including Vegetarians and Vegans.

Why is calcium so important?

Calcium is essential for building and maintaining bone. Almost all the body's calcium (about 99%) is found in the bones.

Our bodies cannot make calcium, so it must come from the foods we eat. When you are not getting sufficient amounts of calcium in your diet, some of the calcium crystals in bone dissolve and give their calcium back to the bloodstream.

CALCIUM ABSORPTION

Calcium intake is important, but it's how well the calcium is absorbed into bones and teeth that's most critical.

Calcium absorption may be reduced by excessive caffeine and alcohol, soft drinks containing phosphates, and diets high in animal proteins.

OPTIMUM BONE DENSITY 

Peak bone density is reached by the age of 30 and most of this is achieved by puberty when there is the greatest rate of bone growth. Calcium is essential for:

  • maintaining total body health
  • normal growth and development
  • keeping your bones and teeth strong over your lifetime (they contain 99% of the body's calcium, the remaining 1% is in blood)
  • ensuring the proper functioning of muscles and nerve
  • keeping the heart beating
  • helping blood clotting and regulating blood pressure
  • metabolising iron
  • the action of a number of hormones (particularly those associated with the thyroid and parathyroid glands)
  • cell structure
  • absorption of vitamin B12

DO WE NEED VITAMINS D and K? 

YES. Vitamins D and K are important nutritional co-factors in calcium metabolism and absorption – vitamin D is naturally produced in the skin from mild exposure to sunlight; this mechanism is thought to be un-reliable though as the process takes place in the sebum, and washing the skin soon after exposure may negate the process. Vitamin D is also obtained from eating foods such as tuna, salmon, sardines, egg yolks or cheese. Vitamin D is stored effectively in the body for use in calcium metabolism.

Similarly, vitamin K is important and best obtained from foods such green peas, carrots, green beans, broccoli, kale and mustard greens - the best source of vitamin K is Hawaiian Pacifica Spirulina which provides 60mcg in one 3g serve.
