Overview

Garden of Life Vitamin Code RAW Calcium provides plant-sourced calcium from Algaecal (red marine algae) combined with vitamin D3 (1600 IU), vitamin K2 (100mcg MK-7), magnesium, strontium, and vanadium. Unlike standard calcium supplements that use calcium carbonate or citrate, this formula derives calcium from whole food algae, which naturally contains 73 trace minerals. The inclusion of D3 and K2 ensures proper calcium absorption and direction to bones rather than arteries.
