Now Red Mineral Algae contains Aquamin. This is a mineral source specifically derived from seaweed, which in this case is from Red Mineral Algae. It is a rare mineral complex found only on the southwest coasts of Ireland and Iceland.

Aquamin has concentrated amounts of bioavailable calcium and magnesium, and 70 other essential minerals such as zinc and iron. Its “bioavailable” quality makes these minerals easily absorbed by the body. Marine vegetation consists of 10-20% more minerals than what is found in land vegetation.

This multi-mineral composition helps prevent osteoporosis. It has been clinically-proven to enhance bone function, joint health, and mobility. Several studies show how Aquamin effectively improves WOMAC scores, a scientific test that calculates pain and stiffness. During a 6-minute walking exercise, those who used Aquamin supplementation showed positive results within 12 weeks of intake. Aside from that, Aquamin also contains Vitamin D which helps in the absorption of calcium and phosphorous. This substance is totally suitable for vegetarians due to Aquamin being sourced from sea vegetables.

Other ingredients in NOW Red Mineral Algae include rice flour, cellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate and silica.

The recommended intake is 4 Vcaps a day, preferably with food.
