By far the most common form of calcium in supplements is carbonate, which is limestone – a rock. Your body was designed to accept plant minerals better than those of rock, because plants pre-digest the minerals for us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlgaeCal® is wild-harvested and derived from a South American marine red algae called \u003cem\u003eLithothamnion superpositum\u003c\/em\u003e.
