Hi, I just bought a bottle of calcium tablets from http://www.lifestream.co.nz with the following ingredients which are "harvested from the pristine seas in Ireland" -
Lithothamnium Calcareum, sea-vegetable, vegetarian capsules, corn starch(GE free).
They claim it is natural, easily absorbed, and organic. Each tablet contains:
calcium 300mg
magnesium 28mg
phosphorus 525mcg
boron 22mcg
selenium 0.9mcg
zinc 20mcg
copper 1.8mcg
sulphur 2.6mg
iodine 18mcg
Has anyone had experience with this type of calcium? I take 1 a day with lunch since my lunch usually doesn't include much calcium. Is this sea vegetable a reliable source of good calcium? I assume it is algae of somekind? Thanks!
