Supports bone health.*
Sapling Algae Calcium is an algae-based calcium supplement for women and men, made from Aquamin™, a calcium-rich red seaweed harvested in the North Atlantic. Most calcium supplements are made from limestone; ours comes from algae, which brings magnesium and trace minerals along with the calcium. We add vitamin D3 and K2 to the same capsule, so you don't need a separate D3 and K2.
- Each 3-capsule serving: 600mg calcium, 800 IU vitamin D3, 60mcg vitamin K2 (MK-7), 40mg magnesium, 8mg zinc, 1mg manganese and 3mg boron
- Why D3 and K2: vitamin D supports calcium absorption,* and K2 is part of how your body uses calcium*
- How to take: three capsules daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Take them together or split them across meals.
- 90 capsules, a 30-day supply
- Good to know: If you take a blood thinner (anticoagulant), talk to your doctor before use, since this formula contains vitamin K2.
Vegan and non-GMO. Made in the USA with domestic and imported ingredients, in FDA-registered, cGMP-compliant facilities. Third-party tested. Every bottle plants a tree.

How is algae calcium different from calcium carbonate or citrate?
Most calcium supplements come from limestone (carbonate) or are made in a lab (citrate). Ours comes from Aquamin, a red seaweed, which brings magnesium and trace minerals along with the calcium.
What should I look for in an algae calcium supplement?
Check four things: where the calcium comes from, whether D3 and K2 are included, the serving size, and testing. Ours uses Aquamin red seaweed, includes 800 IU of D3 and 60mcg of K2 (MK-7), gives 600mg of calcium in 3 capsules, and is third-party tested, including for heavy metals.
Why are D3 and K2 in it?
Vitamin D supports calcium absorption,* and vitamin K2 is part of how the body uses calcium.* Each serving has 800 IU of D3 and 60mcg of K2 (MK-7).
Should I take all 3 capsules at once?
You can take all 3 with food, or split them across your meals, whichever is easier to remember.
Can I take it with Magnesium Complex?
Yes. Many people take calcium with breakfast or lunch and magnesium with dinner. Together they add up to 340mg of magnesium a day (300mg from Magnesium Complex, 40mg from Algae Calcium).
Can I take it with my multivitamin?
Yes, just space them a few hours apart. Calcium and iron compete for absorption, and our multis contain iron.
I have a shellfish allergy. Is algae calcium OK?
Algae Calcium does not contain shellfish. Aquamin is a red seaweed, not a shellfish.
Is it tested for heavy metals?
Yes. Our products are third-party tested, including screening for heavy metals.
Is it only for women?
No. It's for any adult who wants calcium from algae instead of limestone. We made it with bone health in mind.*
Are Sapling supplements vegan?
Yes. Every Sapling supplement is 100% vegan and non-GMO.
Are your products third-party tested?
Yes. Every product is independently tested and made in FDA-registered, cGMP-compliant facilities.
