CALCIUM FROM PURE SEAWEED

Our calcium comes from 100% seaweed, sustainably harvested from the pristine, sparkling waters off Atlantic coastlines like Ireland and Iceland.

Seaweed absorbs trace minerals from surrounding seawater during its growth phase. These minerals then calcify to a skeletal structure and mature material settles separately from young and live material on the seabed. After that, it is harvested sustainably.

TESTED SAFE FOR HEAVY METALS

Our seaweed is harvested from the ocean, so we do everything we can to make sure there’s nothing in there that shouldn’t be. During manufacturing, we take steps to purify the seaweed and conduct industry-recognised testing, disposing of any batches that don’t meet our standards.

BEYOND ROCKS: THE SEAWEED ADVANTAGE

You may have seen supplements containing calcium in the form of ‘mineral salts’. These are actually rocks such as limestone. While these may be natural it is difficult for the body to absorb this calcium and can potentially impact our health negatively.

Because our calcium is derived from seaweed it is part of an intricate matrix of minerals in a natural, porous honeycomb structure. Unlike the flat architecture of rock-derived calcium, seaweed calcium provides a comprehensive, holistic support for bone health. It includes not just calcium, but also magnesium and an impressive array of 70 trace minerals, such as strontium and silica.

Harvested

Calcified seaweed is sustainably harvested from the coastal waters of the Atlantic.

Drying & Cleaning

The seaweed is naturally dried in the sun then steamed to clean and purify it without the need for chemicals.

Milled & Sieving

The seaweed is then ground and sifted into a fine powder ready for encapsulation.

Purification

The powder is passed through magnets to remove any heavy metals from the seaweed’s natural environment.

Testing & Encapsulation

The purified powder undergoes heavy metal and microbial testing. Approved powder is then encapsulated.

INDEPENDENTLY TESTED SAFE

It’s vitally important to us that we can be sure the vitamins we offer to you are free from harmful contaminants and measure up to our high level of quality.

That’s why every batch we produce is tested and analysed by fully independent laboratories and we make these results available to you.

We use only independently accredited laboratories.

Higher Nature – Icelantic Seaweed Calcium – 60 Vcaps

hrs.admin — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 11:57:56 +0000

Naturally superior

Harnessing the power of naturally mineral rich seaweed from pristine Icelandic fjords to provide a more bioactive source of calcium and trace minerals which offers superior benefits to traditional synthetic calcium supplements.

The seaweed has a unique structure and provides over 70 additional naturally occurring trace minerals which improves absorption and is gentler on the gut.

Our seaweed is sensitively and responsibly harvested using a high-tech GPS grid system which leaves new growth untouched and minimal disturbance to the surrounding ecosystem.

Calcium is an essential mineral involved in a wide range of processes within the body. Mostly associated with supporting bones and teeth, calcium is also needed for muscle function, nerve cell signalling, energy production and normal blood clotting.

It also supports digestion as it is needed to produce digestive enzymes to help us break down and release nutrients from the foods we eat.

Together Health – Bone Aid – 60 vcaps

hrs.admin — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 13:30:36 +0000

TOGETHER FOR BONE HEALTH

We all know the importance of calcium when it comes to bone health. And while it’s true that calcium is essential, a growing body of research shows that vitamins D and K2 also play a vital role. Our Bone Aid combines all 3 of these powerful nutrients from natural, plant-based sources to bring you an effective synergistic supplement for strong, healthy bones.

HOW DO THESE 3 NUTRIENTS WORK TOGETHER?

Calcium is absorbed into the bloodstream, so it needs a little help from vitamin D and K2 to reach your bones. Vitamin D ramps the production of a special protein, while vitamin K2 activates this protein to inhibit deposits of calcium on the walls of our blood vessels.

The benefit of this is twofold. It not only prevents calcification of our arteries, but leads the calcium right to where we need it – our bones.

NATURALLY EFFECTIVE INGREDIENTS

We extract nutrients right from their natural sources. This way, they come to you in forms your body recognises.

SEAWEED

Providing: Calcium

Seaweed calcium is complete in a marine multimineral complex providing bioactive calcium with 72 other trace minerals. We get our calcium from Atlantic red algae (Lithothamnion Calcareum), which naturally absorbs trace minerals from the surrounding seawater. Those minerals calcify to a skeletal structure, and mature material settles separately from young and live material on the seabed. After that, it is harvested sustainably.

LICHEN

Providing: Vitamin D3

Our plant-based vitamin D3 comes from lichen. You might not have heard of it, but it’s a small and unique organic species that contains one of the only plant-based sources of cholecalciferol – the body’s preferred biologically active form.

CHICKPEA

Providing: Vitamin K2

Nattō is an ancient Japanese food, and is one of the best sources of K2 on earth. That’s why our Vitamin K2 is made with chickpeas, which are fermented with Bacillus subtilis nattō. Our Vitamin K2 brings you a highly biologically active form of vitamin K2 – one that’s 10 times more efficiently absorbed than vitamin K1 from spinach.

SUGGESTED USE

2 CAPSULES A DAY

2 capsules provide all the nutrients you need to support bone health.

BEST WITH FOOD

The stomach acid produced with a meal aids the absorption of calcium. Vitamins D3 and K2 are fat-soluble nutrients, so it’s best to take them with a meal containing fat.

Bone Aid can be taken anytime of the day. Try to take it at the same time every day to help build a habit.

Do not exceed the recommended intake unless directed by a practitioner.

This product should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet.
