Garden of Life RAW Calcium (120 Capsules)
by Garden of Life
"Plant-based calcium from algae — with vitamin D3, K2, magnesium, and strontium for bone health"
Overview
Garden of Life RAW Calcium provides plant-based calcium from red algae (Algas calcareas) — a whole food source that includes naturally occurring trace minerals. Unlike calcium carbonate or citrate, algae-based calcium provides a matrix of 73 trace minerals alongside calcium. The formula includes vitamin D3 (1600 IU), vitamin K2 (100mcg MK-7), magnesium, strontium, and vanadium for comprehensive bone support. The synergy of these nutrients directs calcium to bones, not arteries.
