How to Take AlgaeCal [PDF]

Hi Patricia,

You can take both capsules of Strontium Boost at the same time to make it easier. We do recommend right before bed because when people wake-up they usually have breakfast soon after. Strontium should not be taken within 2-3 hours of calcium-containing foods so it makes it easier to take it at night, a few hours after dinner and before bed to avoid any absorption issues. But, if you take it in the morning and don’t eat 2-3 hours after taking it, then you can continue your routine!

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for the feedback! I just sent you a new version without the picture in the back via email 🙂

– Monica @ AlgaeCal

Hi Ellen,

As long as you are taking Strontium Boost 2-3 hours apart from meals, it is fine. Most people find it easier to take it right before bed, but if your routine works, then that is great!

– Monica @ AlgaeCal

Hi Barbara,

Taking Strontium Boost at bed will definitely yield the best result. In a salad depending on the portion and type of veggies, there can be between 50 to 100mg or even more of calcium. Those would occupy the receptors strontium needs in order to be absorbed and may cause some Strontium Boost to be flushed out from your system. Ideally, Strontium Boost should not be taken with a meal.

– Monica @ AlgaeCal

Hi Dhatreyi,

These will not interfere with AlgaeCal Plus 🙂

– Monica @ AlgaeCal

Hi Liz,

Usually, thyroid medications are taken first thing in the morning and so we would recommend AlgaeCal Plus at lunch and dinner (4 hours apart to prevent any possible interaction) and Strontium Boost at bedtime.

But your current schedule works as well!

– Monica @ AlgaeCal

Hi Eleanor,

It’s true that you should avoid eating foods with phytic acid and oxalic acid when taking AlgaeCal or other supplements. Wheat and whole grains tend to be high in these acids, but don’t affect calcium absorption as much as other foods such as spinach, beans, nuts, and seeds. [https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Calcium-HealthProfessional/] For extra precaution you could space this out. If you’d like to call in and speak more in depth about this with one of our Bone Health Advisors you can do so toll-free Canada and USA: 1-800-820-0184.

– Monica @ AlgaeCal

I hadn’t even heard about phytic and oxalic acid. So now I’m confused. I eat a lot of berries which shows there is a considerable amount of oxalic acid in them. Crazy trying to eat healthy and not interfere with calcium absorption. Can you shed any light on this? Thank you!

We understand this can be confusing, SuAnn! Many healthy foods contain phytic and oxalic acid – even spinach. We have a detailed post on this which you may find helpful – click here to view.

Let us know if you have any further questions! ?

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

Hi Brittha,

Sounds like a nutrient-packed breakfast! You could add some greens or healthy fats like avocado as well :). Keep it up!

– Monica @ AlgaeCal

Hi Joy,

Sorry about that – it’s a tablespoon for Triple Power.

– Monica @ AlgaeCal

Hi Vicki,

Yes, it seems like you’ve been taking more than one tablespoon per day. It should be equivalent to 15g per day, which will give you 28 days of Triple Power.

– Monica @ AlgaeCal

Hi Linda,

You can absolutely pull apart the capsules and put the powder in milk or juice. We also recommend apple sauce or yogurt as alternatives too, depending on your tastes.

– Monica @ AlgaeCal

I like to mix the powder into applesauce or peanut butter. (Is PB okay?) I’m a little clumsy when I open the capsules. It would be great if, instead of capsules, you could sell the powder. Thanks.

Hi Esther, thanks for your feedback – we’ll pass this suggestion along to the team!

No worries mixing the powder into peanut butter and applesauce – both are great ideas! ?

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Paulette,

Although uncommon, increased thirst after probiotic supplementation has been reported as a side effect. Switching to a different probiotic, supplementing with a lower dose or discontinuing altogether are options – but it is best to discuss this with your doctor.

– Monica @ AlgaeCal

Hi Hawaii Parlor,

If you are taking a daily dose of AlgaeCal Plus, which provides you 720 mg of calcium, you will be getting the recommended 1200 mg of calcium per day from all sources as the Standard American Diet also provides ~400-600 mg of calcium. So you shouldn’t be needing to take additional supplemental calcium like calcium citrate unless your doctor has suggested this for whatever reason. If so, AlgaeCal Plus would still be the optimal calcium source over calcium citrate.

Is there a particular reason you’d like to take two different calcium sources? If you’d like to call in and speak to a Bone Health Consultant they can discuss what may be best for you – and how to take your supplements if needed. You can call 1-800-820-0184.

Hope that helps!

– Monica

Hi Robin,

Great question! You can absolutely take additional magnesium at the same time as the Strontium Boost; they will not interfere with the absorption of each other.

If you have any other questions about how to take AlgaeCal, you can always email [email protected] or call 1-800-820-0184 to speak with one of our Bone Health Consultants!

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Hi Sharon,

Great question! AlgaeCal Plus is our bone-building formulation that is for any adult looking to maintain or increase their bone density. It has added bone-building vitamins that aren’t found in AlgaeCal Basic, like vitamin C, vitamin K2, boron, and extra magnesium.

The AlgaeCal Basic formulation is great for those taking certain prescription anticoagulant medications. If that is the case, then we highly recommend the AlgaeCal Basic formulation, as the vitamin K2 in AlgaeCal Plus is contraindicated with those drugs.

Please let us know if you have any questions or need help selecting the right formulation for you! You can call 1-800-820-0184 or email [email protected], and our Bone Health Consultants will be happy to assist you 🙂

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Hi Patricia,

Great question! Most medications need to be separate from AlgaeCal Plus & Strontium Boost by at least 2 hours to avoid any possible absorption interactions. You can certainly take the Strontium Boost at a different time of the day, for example in between mealtimes.

Our Bone Health Consultants would be happy to help create a schedule that best suits your lifestyle! Feel free to email [email protected] or call 1-800-820-0184.

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Hi Nina,

We’re happy to see one of our Bone Health Consultants has responded to your questions via email! To reiterate, it is unnecessary to take additional calcium as you will be getting all of the calcium you need from AlgaeCal Plus & your daily diet. However, you may need to take additional vitamin D3 (as most of us are deficient!) If you have any further questions or concerns, you can also call to speak with one of our Bone Health Consultants, who will be glad to help you at 1-800-820-0184.

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Hi Cherri,

It sounds like you are right on track with scheduling your AlgaeCal Plus & Strontium Boost! To avoid absorption interactions, we recommend keeping your multivitamin at least 2 hours apart from AlgaeCal products. You could take your multi between lunch and dinner, or between dinner and bedtime. Keep in mind, AlgaeCal is providing you with all of the vitamins and minerals necessary for bone building. If you would still like to continue your multi, that’s no problem! There’s no issue with taking both as long as they are kept at least 2 hours apart.

If you need any further assistance with scheduling feel free to call our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184 🙂

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Hi Janet,

We’re glad you reached out! You can expect an email shortly from our Bone Health Consultants with their best recommendations! 🙂

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Hi Cathy,

You’ll be getting all of the calcium your body needs from AlgaeCal and your diet! So we wouldn’t recommend continuing with additional supplementation that contains calcium.

In saying that, it’s usually still a good idea to supplement with vitamin D3! The daily dose of AlgaeCal contains 1,600 IU, however the majority of people are deficient, and you may need more than this. We always suggest having your vitamin D levels checked via a blood test to determine your unique needs (some people do require up to 10,000 IU per day, so it’s really important to do this). When you have the result of your blood test, you can make sure you’re getting the right amount here.

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for taking the time to write out everything you’re taking! Our Bone Health Consultants will send you an email from [email protected] within the next 24 hours with their suggestions for the optimal schedule.

If you have any questions in the meantime you can give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 🙂

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Hi Susan,

We always recommend taking AlgaeCal Plus alongside Strontium Boost for the best possible results. You can purchase AlgaeCal Plus on its own here.

If you have any questions feel free to call us at 1-800-820-0184 🙂

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Yes, you can take them together Lana!

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Hi Helen,

As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to keep your antibiotic at least 2-3 hours apart from AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost. This will ensure there are no absorption interactions!

If you need any help fitting this into your schedule feel free to call us at 1-800-820-0184 🙂

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Hi Melanie,

Your doses of AlgaeCal Plus should be kept a minimum of two hours apart! It sounds like this should fit into your routine well, but if you need any assistance with scheduling please let us know.

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Thanks for reaching out, Jen!

1. We’re so sorry to hear you’ve been having a bit of trouble with the Strontium. Yes, 1 capsule of Strontium Boost is better than nothing. Of course, we do recommend taking 2 capsules if possible to maximize the benefits — as the best results in our human clinical studies were seen with the full dose!

Jen, it’s uncommon for Strontium Boost to cause any reaction because it’s natural, and human clinically tested to not cause side effects. In saying that, we understand everyone is different and can react to natural vitamins or minerals. We would love to work with you to identify if it is strontium which is bothering you, or perhaps something else! Have you had a chance to stop the strontium and try a slow reintroduction back into your daily regimen?

2. You can absolutely mix your AlgaeCal into food! You can do the same with your Strontium Boost, just be sure the food is low in calcium (contains less than 100 mg). AlgaeCal mixes well into semi-solid foods, such as applesauce, mashed banana, and peanut butter.

Hopefully this is helpful! Feel free to contact our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184 if you have questions or need support throughout the reintroduction process ❤️

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

I agree. I had to come off the algaecal and strontium supplements too at first. My body reacts funny to new meds. So I called the hotline and she advised me to come off all the supplements and restart them slowly after all the symptoms had dissipated, then slowly reintroduce them back. I am almost to therapeutic level and no problem. My next addition the strontium…but so far so good! Just to encourage you to hang in there.

Hi Jessie,

You can take Strontium Boost anytime as long as it’s kept 2+ hours apart from foods and drinks rich in calcium! If you’re only adding a small amount of milk to your tea which contains less than 100 mg calcium that would be no problem. 🙂

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Hi Doris,

You can take the vitamin K and probiotic with your AlgaeCal supplements! For more information on scheduling please don’t hesitate to call our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184.

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Hi Linda,

We have an awesome blog post on caffeine and osteoporosis that answers your question here!

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Absolutely, Wendy!

Calcium-rich foods only need to be separated from the Strontium Boost. 🙂

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

So, no problem opening up the AlgaeCal plus and mixing with food like yogurt?

Hi Angela, thanks for checking in!

Mixing AlgaeCal Plus with yogurt is a great idea! Others have also mixed it with smoothies, nut butters, cottage cheese, or anything with that semi-solid” consistency. We simply don’t recommend mixing it into very hot foods

I have read that only 500mg of calcium can be absorbed at one time, so would it not be advisable to check that a food source eaten at the same time as taking AlgaeCal, such as yoghurt or other dairy products contained only 140 mg or less?

Hi Margaret, thanks for pointing that out!

Yes, you’re absolutely right that we suggest trying to keep food sources of calcium at 140mg or less if taken with AlgaeCal. We want to balance this guideline with making it as easy as possible to fit AlgaeCal into your daily schedule, so if yogurt is a typical breakfast or snack and it provides slightly more than 140mg, then that’s okay 🙂

Thanks again for bringing up this important point!

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Glad to hear you found a schedule that feels right for you, Brenda! It’s no problem to take your Strontium Boost in the daytime as long as it’s 2+ hours apart from AlgaeCal Plus and calcium-rich foods — just like you’re doing. ?

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

I’m glad you reached out, Sherry! It sounds like there may be some confusion — there’s no restriction on the types of food you can have with AlgaeCal Plus, so you could take it with the meals or snacks you outlined. (Which sound very healthy and delicious by the way!)

You only need to keep your Strontium Boost separate from calcium-rich foods to avoid absorption interactions. An apple and peanut butter are no problem, as you said.

If you have any questions or need clarification please feel free to email [email protected] or call our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184!

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Hi Carole,

Good question. You do want to be consuming at least 1,200 mg of calcium each day, but no more than 1,500 mg regularly (on occasion going over is no big deal!) Keep in mind, the calcium you’re consuming on top of what’s in AlgaeCal should be coming from food sources, and not from additional supplementation. To double check the amount of calcium you’re getting from your diet we suggest using an app like MyFitnessPal for a few days.

If you have further questions please don’t hesitate to call our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184!

– Jenna @ AlgaeCal

Thank you so much for your kind words, Geri! ❤️

Feel free to reach out to us if you ever have any questions – we’re here to support you throughout your bone health journey! ?

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Linda,

Looks like you’re doing an awesome job spacing the AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost! It’s great to see you are keeping the thyroid medication 4 hours away from our products. You can take the other supplements you listed alongside AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost. However, if any of your supplements contain calcium, magnesium, iron, or zinc, please take them at least 2 hours away from our products.

We’re so sorry to hear that you have been experiencing constipation while taking our products. This is unusual and not something you should be experiencing with AlgaeCal Plus or Strontium Boost! Constipation can be a sign of a calcium/magnesium imbalance and is often something that is easily rectified through dietary changes and the right nutrition. Please email [email protected] or call our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184 – we would love to work with you to determine the cause and make sure you are feeling 100%. Remember, we’re here to support you along your bone health journey! ❤️

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

I can’t find the way to ask my questions about when to take my Algae Cal and Strontium Boost. I take meds for thyroid, reflux, and high blood pressure along with other vitamins. I see that there is supposed to be a four hour time between thyroid and reflux meds (supposed to take those twice a day) and the Algae Cal. I was taking the Strontium at bedtime along with my blood pressure med and now see that isn’t recommended. How in the world can I work all of this in???

Hi Janice,

So glad you reached out to us! We understand balancing your medications and our supplements can be daunting at first – we’re more than happy to set up a schedule for you. Yes, AlgaeCal products should be separated from thyroid medications by 4 hours and from H-2 blockers by 3-4 hours. Please email [email protected] or call 1-800-820-0184 with the times you take each medication and your other vitamins. Our Bone Health Consultants will help work everything into your day and create a detailed, personalized schedule ?

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

Hi Blair’s,
Can you have allergic reaction to Algaecal or strontium? I’ve been taking them now for 6 days and my throat is on fire! It burns and is very red. I called one of your people to find out what to do and he said to stop them right away until the burning goes away and then start the AlgaeCal first slowly cutting the dose in half to see what happens. If nothing happens then start the strontium to see if any reaction to that. I’m hoping I can figure it out. Have you heard of that reaction before?

Hi Linda,

Thanks for getting back to us! So sorry to hear about your throat – that sounds very painful. It is unlikely to develop an allergic reaction to AlgaeCal products; however, it is still possible to experience a sensitivity. It’s best to consult with your doctor/allergist for their recommendation. Have you tried the slow reintroduction yet? Please keep us updated on how it goes and we’re hoping this clears up very soon for you!

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

Hi Blaire,
I got off the AlgaeCal and strontium and the next day my throat was 90% better. I’ll wait 1 more day to start reintroducing the AlgaeCal by 1/2 a dose to see what happens. I’ll increase AlgaeCal and strontium slowly. Hopefully this works

Hi Linda!

Thanks for keeping us updated and we’re so glad to hear that you’re feeling better! 🙂 Everyone is different and it’s important to adjust the dosage based on what your body is comfortable with – slowly reintroducing AlgaeCal & Strontium is the perfect way to figure this out!

Please do continue to update us – we’re here to support you throughout your bone health journey! ❤️

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Leo!

Thank you for your kind words! ? We’re so glad you’re finding the Q&As helpful.

Sorry for the confusion! While Strontium Boost is commonly taken on an empty stomach, it can be taken either with or without food. We simply recommend keeping it 2+ hours apart from foods rich in calcium (100mg or more). This is because calcium and strontium will compete with each other for absorption if taken together!

Hope this helps and don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions, Leo! ?

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Peggy, thanks for reaching out!

Sorry to have caused any confusion! The amount of magnesium in AlgaeCal would not be enough to interfere with the absorption of calcium. However, taking large amounts of magnesium may reduce absorption of the calcium in AlgaeCal. Peggy, keep in mind that a daily serving of AlgaeCal Plus provides 350mg of magnesium and for most people, another magnesium supplement is not necessary as a balanced diet combined with the 350mg in AlgaeCal Plus is generally enough to meet daily requirements.

If you do continue to take an additional magnesium supplement, it can be taken at the same time as Strontium Boost but it’s best to take it at least 2 hours apart from AlgaeCal Plus.

Hope this is somewhat helpful, Peggy! For more information on scheduling please don’t hesitate to call our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184. Sometimes it’s a little easier to discuss over the phone and they’d be more than happy to help you create a personalized schedule! 🙂

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

thank you, Megan; your reply to Peggy regarding magnesium was informative and helpful.

Glad you found the information helpful, Abigail! We’re always happy to help ?

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Randy,

Good questions! Although AlgaeCal is indeed vegetarian, it is not vegan. The source for our vitamin D3 is lanolin (from wool wax). No animals are harmed in the making of this, but it is considered an animal product, and therefore AlgaeCal is not considered vegan.

For anyone taking an older class of blood thinner, we have a formulation called AlgaeCal Basic which does not contain vitamin K2! You can see it here.

Let us know if you have any further questions ?

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

Hi Dee,

We’re so sorry to hear, this is very unusual and not something you should be experiencing with AlgaeCal! Please email [email protected] or call our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184 – we would love to work with you to determine the cause of what you’ve been experiencing and make sure you are feeling 100%. Remember, we’re here to support you along your bone health journey! ❤️

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

Hi Phyllis, thanks for reaching out!

Yes, drinking more water will help your body adjust to taking a new supplement. A helpful way to remember this is to simply drink an extra cup of water each time you take AlgaeCal. Since vitamin D3 supplementation requirements vary greatly from person to person, it’s important to assess how much you need. You’ll find our article on vitamin D helpful for this.

– Megan @ AlgaeCal

Good question, Vaerie! Not to worry, you can eat a grapefruit alongside taking AlgaeCal Plus/Strontium Boost — there are no interactions ?

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

I am taking Hydrochlorot 1/2 tab in the AM daily for elevated para-thyroid which dr tell me that is why the calcium is leached out of my bones…Does that interfere with the morning algae cal? Thanks! Peggy

Hi Peggy, thanks for reaching out!

The medication you’re taking doesn’t interact with AlgaeCal, so no need to worry about spacing it out! If you haven’t already, we would encourage you to ask your doctor about the underlying cause of your elevated parathyroid hormone so that it can be addressed. Hope this helps!

By the way, Peggy, have you joined the AlgaeCal Community yet? It’s a supportive space for AlgaeCal customers to learn and grow together! We’d love for you to join here. ❤️

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Sharon, thanks for checking in!

No need to separate these medications from AlgaeCal as they don’t interact. For specific medical conditions, we would recommend checking in with your doctor to see if AlgaeCal is appropriate for you at this time. We have an excellent information sheet you can share with them here.

Hope this helps and feel free to let us know if you have any other questions! ?

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Holly,

Glad you reached out! Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself. We would recommend taking 2 AlgaeCal Plus with your cup of coffee and 2 with your evening meal. Anything that gets your digestive juices flowing will be helpful for absorbing the nutrients in AlgaeCal Plus, so your coffee with a bit of cream will be fine 🙂

Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184. They’re great at helping with scheduling if you’re wondering about how to best add AlgaeCal to your current supplement/medication schedule 🙂

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

No worries, Regina!

You can enjoy a drink alongside AlgaeCal and/or Strontium Boost 🙂 Keep in mind that Strontium Boost should be taken at least 2 hours apart from AlgaeCal Plus or other calcium-rich (over 100mg) sources.

Hope this helps!

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Maria,

So sorry for the lack of clarity — we understand where your confusion is coming from! There are indeed 13 trace minerals in AlgaeCal Plus; however, since they are in minute amounts, the trace minerals are not individually listed on the bottle. You can view more information on the trace minerals in AlgaeCal here!

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

Hi Pam, thanks for checking in!

Would you mind sharing the name of your other bone density supplements so we can look up the nutrition facts? We recommend you stop taking any supplements with large amounts of calcium or magnesium – AlgaeCal Plus along with a balanced diet will meet your calcium and magnesium needs.

Vitamin D (and K2) needs vary from person to person. To learn more about how much you need, check out this link.

We don’t want to be taking too much calcium, as this can lead to built up levels.

By the way, Pam, we also have an article on natural arthritis remedies you may find helpful here.

Hope this information helps! Feel free to give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 if you have any other questions ❤️

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi, For diabetes’s type 2, who have hernia Disc, can take it algaecal? Thanks

Hi Isabell,

Thanks for reaching out!

Many members of our community have diabetes and herniated discs and safely take AlgaeCal alongside. Having said that, for specific medical conditions, we recommend checking in with your doctor. We have a printable information sheet you can bring to your doctor here.

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

Hi Donna, good question!

Your current schedule sounds great 🙂 No need to switch things up. Just to double-check, are you taking any medications or other supplements along with AlgaeCal?

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Only think I take is Metamucil and a probiotic. I take the probiotic at around 7:30 at night and Metamucil around 1:00 PM.

Hi Donna,

Thanks for letting us know! No need to worry about separating these from AlgaeCal 🙂

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

I have low bone density. I have been on the AlgaeCal Plus for 3 mos. I am also doing Osteogenic loading exercises. I have had some hip pain and wonder when that will go away?

Hi Susan, thanks for keeping us updated!

While some are able to feel differences in their body, such as pain relief or feeling stronger overall, this is an individualized response and may not be the case for everyone. The most certain way to know that AlgaeCal is working is through the results of a bone density scan. Rest assured, even if you can’t feel a difference right now, know that AlgaeCal is working to strengthen your bones!

It’s great that you’re doing exercises, Susan! If you’re interested, we provide bone-healthy exercises on our blog here. Keep in mind that exercises should not be making your pain worse, so listen to your body as you do any movements! ❤️

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Jane!

Yes, you can take AlgaeCal with your morning coffee ?

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Sun!

AlgaeCal Plus was not designed to treat or cure any disease, but it is clinically supported to increase bone density! We would recommend discussing with a health professional about whether or not AlgaeCal is appropriate for your parents. We have a handy info sheet you can share with them here.

You can also learn more about our products here or by emailing us at [email protected].

Hoping this helps! ❤️

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Kathleen, glad you reached out and happy to hear your bone density has improved!

You can get the rest of the calcium (around 430 mg) from foods! We have a calcium-rich foods list you may find helpful here.

Yes, you can definitely take your Strontium Boost in the early AM, as long as it’s 2 hours apart from AlgaeCal.

Hope this helps and if you have any other questions, feel free to give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 🙂

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Mark, thanks for reaching out!

You’re right that nutrient absorption is affected when taking a PPI. In saying that, the nutrients in a supplement are not bound within a food matrix, so far less stomach acid is needed to enable their release and absorption. We do recommend taking our products at least 4 hours apart from your PPI to maximize absorption.

We also encourage you to consult your doctor about identifying the underlying causes of your reflux so that you can address those! We also have a post on some home remedies to help combat acid reflux here.

Hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 🙂

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi there,

So glad you reached out to us! We’re happy to help.

Not to worry, you can consume milk/dairy products at the same time as AlgaeCal Plus ? We simply recommend that calcium-rich foods be consumed at least 2 hours away from Strontium Boost.

Feel free to give our Bone Health Consultants a call at 1-800-820-0184 if you have further questions!

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

Thank you very much for getting back with me.

Hi Karen,

Thanks for reaching out!

Blood pressure medications such as beta blockers can typically be taken at the same time as our products. That said, please confirm any supplement or medication interactions with your pharmacist – she/he will also be able to provide you with further insight in regards to this matter. ❤️

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

Hi Victoria, good question!

Does your multivitamin contain high amounts of calcium as well? If so, you may want to take it 2 hours apart from AlgaeCal or Strontium Boost. If you haven’t already done so, we also encourage you to give our Bone Health Consultants a call at 1-800-820-0184. Not only can they help answer any questions, they can also work with you to figure out how to best incorporate AlgaeCal into your current schedule. ❤️

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi there, good question!

Yes, after all AlgaeCal is simply providing vitamins and minerals that your bones need to regain health and strength. To give you a bit more information about our products, we recommend taking our Bone Builder Pack (AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost) until you’re back into a healthy bone density range. At this point, we suggest AlgaeCal Plus alone for maintenance – as bone loss is a natural, ongoing process it’s important to continue overcoming bone loss with the nutrients in AlgaeCal!

As always, if you have medical conditions or are taking medications, we recommend first consulting your doctor before starting new supplements. Hope this information helps and don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected] or 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free) if you have any further questions! ❤️

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Veronica, good question!

There’s no need to separate AlgaeCal from your occasional wine or beer. Thanks for checking in! ?

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Hi Dian, we’d love to help clarify!

While the serving size for the nutrition label is 2 capsules, you’ll notice that under the Suggested Use section of the bottle, it says to take 4 capsules daily for increased bone strength. We apologize for any confusion!

If you have any other questions about how to take AlgaeCal, please feel free to give our Bone Health Consultants a call at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free). They’re available 7 days a week, 6am-4pm PST and always happy to help ❤️

Good question, Philomena!

Vitamin D3 requirements vary greatly from person to person. The best way to know how much you need is to have a blood test done. You can learn more here.

Hope this helps and feel free to give our Bone Health Consultants a call at 1-800-820-0184 for more information ?

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

Great question, Wilson! Yes, that’s absolutely fine 🙂

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

I was wondering if you can take the products in the event a little calcium was taken or should it be absolutely no calcium at all.

Good question, Croua!

A little calcium is okay. For Strontium Boost, we recommend no more than 100mg of calcium be taken at the same time or within 2 hours of taking Strontium Boost. For AlgaeCal, because our bodies can only absorb ~500mg of calcium at once, we recommend staying below this to maximize your calcium absorption.

Hope this helps! For further details, feel free to give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 🙂

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

I’m looking for the answer to this question as well. Can I take strontium with my morning coffee?

This is a great question, Ava! You can absolutely take Strontium Boost with morning coffee! However, it may not be the best time to take it if you tend to add calcium-rich milk, cream, etc. to your coffee. You see, strontium and calcium compete for absorption, so as a rule of thumb, it’s best to separate anything rich in calcium from Strontium Boost by at least 2 hours. I hope this helps, and if you need any assistance with creating a tailored schedule for taking AlgaeCal supplements, our Bone Health Consultants would love to help over the phone at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free). 🙂

Hi Cruz, thanks for reaching out!

We wouldn’t expect any interactions between these supplements and AlgaeCal or Strontium Boost. You can take them at the same time if that works best for your schedule.

Hope this helps! For any other questions about scheduling, feel free to give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 🙂

I set my alarm for 5:00 am to take my Thyroid medication so I can have my AlgaeCal Plus with breakfast at 9:00 am.

Hi Annemarie, glad you reached out!

Would you be able to take your first AlgaeCal dose later in the day, perhaps at lunchtime or with an afternoon snack?

We also want to let you know that not all medications require spacing out from our products. We recommend consulting your doctor or a pharmacist regarding your specific medications.

Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to us at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll free) with any further questions 🙂

They’re available 6am-4pm PST, seven days a week, and always happy to help 😀

-Megan @ AlgaeCal

Great question, Judith!

We recommend taking our Bone Builder Pack (AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost) until you’re back into a healthy bone density range – the amount of time this takes will vary depending on factors like the severity of bone loss, lifestyle habits, etc. Once you’re in a healthy bone density range, we recommend continuing AlgaeCal for bone health maintenance.

Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions 🙂

– Blaire @ AlgaeCal

We are so sorry to hear about your diagnosis, Gwen, but we are also so glad that you found us and we would love to be part of your bone health journey!

Coffee can increase urinary excretion of calcium, but only by a bit and this can be offset by taking your coffee with a source of calcium and eating a calcium-rich diet. Coffee recommendations differ based on body weight, but researchers suggest limiting coffee to 3 cups a day. If you’d like to learn more, we have a great article on coffee and bone health here
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about how AlgaeCal works please feel free to call our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free) 5am-4pm PST on weekdays and 6am-4pm PST on weekends ?

Hi Harshida, thanks for reaching out!

Yes, AlgaeCal is a complete bone health supplement that’s clinically supported to increase bone density and we recommend it as part of every bone health regimen. After all, your bones still require the nutrients in AlgaeCal, even if you are taking bone medication.

We suggest speaking to your doctor about changes to your medication and supplement intake. We have an excellent information sheet you can share with your doctor here.

Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to give our Bone Health Consultants a call at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free). We’re available by phone 5am-4pm PST on weekdays and 6am-4pm PST on weekends and would love to hear from you. ❤️

– Megan @ AlgaeCal

Great question, Ruth!

We actually do not recommend adding it to the water as it contain minerals and because of their heavier nature it will not be completely soluble! You can twist open the capsules and mix the tasteless powder into foods like smoothies, yogurt, nut butters, applesauce, and oatmeal. We simply don’t recommend very hot foods or drinks as the heat may reduce the potency of some vitamins. Let us know if any questions!

-Ishneet @ AlgaeCal

We’re very excited for you to start building stronger bones, Polly!

May we please ask you to reach out to our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free). They are available 5am-4pm PST on weekdays and 6am-4pm PST on weekends ?. They’ll be happy to work with you to come up with a personalized schedule based on your needs or answer any other questions you may have.

– Ishneet @ AlgaeCal

Hi Sharon,

Thank you for reaching out and we are so sorry to hear about the discomfort that you have been experiencing. Sharon, Strontium Boost should be taken 2-3 hours apart from consuming calcium-rich foods. Strontium Boost can be taken with or without food (as it reads on the product label), but most folks take it right before bed on an empty stomach. May we please suggest you to take Strontium on an empty stomach and see if that helps! We would love to work with you further to determine what’s causing this and make sure you’re feeling your best. Please call our friendly Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free) or email us at [email protected] for personalized support. We look forward to hearing from you! ❤️

-Ishneet @ AlgaeCal

Barbara,

Thank you so much for reaching out to double-check your scheduled timing of these supplements. There are no concerns taking the supplements you’ve listed above at the same time as your AlgaeCal with your breakfast. Let us know if you have any further questions!

– Kirby @ AlgaeCal

Hi Judy,

Thanks for sharing your concern. AlgaeCal is clinically supported to naturally improve bone mineral density without side effects or any negative impact on teeth/jawbone health. In fact, a small number of our customers take our supplements for the sole purpose of naturally increasing their bone mineral density in the jaw/teeth to become eligible for surgery or dental procedures. While a bone density scan will typically measure critical fracture sites such as the spine and hip, you can be assured that benefits are being seen across the skeletal system! Feel free to call us at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free) if you have further questions!

– Kirby @ AlgaeCal

Hi there, Gwen!
You can absolutely take your Strontium Boost during the night, so long as it’s two hours away from your AlgaeCal Plus and calcium-rich foods – we have several clients who do so. If it works for you, keep it up! 🙂

– Chelsea @ AlgaeCal

Thanks for reaching out to us with your questions, Robyn! Yes, you can absolutely split your first dose of AlgaeCal Plus into two doses if you like, there is no problem with that. As for the Strontium Boost, you don’t need to drink a full glass of water when you take it, and I’m not aware of any interactions between Strontium Boost and HRT lotion, but I always recommend confirming with your doctor or pharmacist as I’m not a medical professional. Hope this is helpful! 🙂

– Chelsea @ AlgaeCal

Hi Irene,

Thank you for reaching out to us! It’s wonderful to hear that you’ve placed your first order and gotten started on our program, but I’m sorry to hear that you’re having a tricky time swallowing your Strontium Boost. That said, I would love to provide some suggestions to help!

Irene, you are more than welcome to open your Strontium Boost and sprinkle into something semi-solid, and we suggest choosing something like nut butter, applesauce, or oatmeal (it might be a little unpleasant in water or juice!). It may also help to know that strontium and calcium compete for absorption, so we recommend separating Strontium Boost from foods and supplements containing calcium by at least 2 hours. Also, avoid adding to very hot foods /drinks as temperatures above 120F may reduce the potency.

If you need any further support as you get started with your AlgaeCal supplements, please don’t hesitate to reach out at 1-800-820-0184 and any of our Bone Health Consultants would be happy to assist you! 🙂

– Shelby @ AlgaeCal

Thanks for reaching out to us, Lynne! Our understanding is that magnesium and Strontium Boost aren’t expected to interact and don’t require separation. That being said, if you are also taking AlgaeCal Plus, please note that it contains 350 mg of magnesium, which is set at an optimal and healthful 2:1 ratio with the calcium. Unless you really need it, we don’t recommend taking more than 150 mg of additional magnesium beyond what is in the AlgaeCal Plus. Hope this helps and feel free to contact our Bone Health Consultants 7 days a week at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada, toll-free) or email [email protected] for more information and personalized support with this! 🙂

– Chelsea @ AlgaeCal

Hi, Diane!

Many of our customers take a variety of prescription medications that require separation times from AlgaeCal. Our Bone Health Consultants would be more than happy to go over your medications and if possible, create a tailored schedule for you! For more information and support with this, please reach out to our Bone Health Consultants 7 days a week at 1-800-802-0184 (USA & Canada, toll-free) or email [email protected]. Hope this helps! 🙂

– Chelsea @ AlgaeCal

Hi, Philip! You absolutely can open your Strontium capsules and take them with applesauce. Just be sure to take them 2 hours away from your AlgaeCal Plus and any calcium-rich foods! Hope this helps! 🙂

– Chelsea @ AlgaeCal

Hi, Philip!

If you have any trouble swallowing capsules, you can definitely twist our AlgaeCal capsules open and sprinkle the flavourless powder into food and drinks, including applesauce! We suggest choosing something like a smoothie, yogurt, nut butter, or oatmeal (it might be a little unpleasant in water or juice!). Also, avoid adding to very hot foods /drinks as temperatures above 120F may reduce the potency of some nutrients. Hope this helps!

– Chelsea @ AlgaeCal

Hi, Jean!

Thank you so much for providing this valuable feedback! I certainly understand where you are coming from, and I have passed this feedback on to our team :).

Jean, not to worry too much if you have been consuming more than 500 mg of calcium per sitting. While you get the biggest bang for your calcium buck when you consume no more than 500 mg at once, if you do consume a bit more, you’ll still absorb a little of the extra and the rest will simply be excreted! Of course, do let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. Our friendly Bone Health Consultants are available at 1-800-820-0184!

– Yoori @ AlgaeCal

Hi, Helena! Thanks for reaching out to us with your question – to our knowledge, we are not aware of any interactions between AlgaeCal, red rice yeast, and CoQ10 and therefore don’t require any separation. In fact, many of our customers take these supplements as well! Hope this helps and please feel free to contact our Bone Health Consultants 7 days a week at 1-877-707-9226 (USA & Canada, toll-free) or email [email protected] for more information and personalized support! 🙂

– Chelsea @ AlgaeCal

Great question, K! Your body is able to absorb about 500mg of calcium at one time, and 2 capsules of AlgaeCal Plus provide 360mg. So you do have some cushion to consume dietary calcium. That said, if you are having a meal very rich in calcium, it may be best to take your AlgaeCal Plus at another time.

I hope this helps!

– Brianne

Thank you for sharing your story with us, Nelld. We would never want price to get in the way of getting the benefits of AlgaeCal! I highly recommend you to give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 (US & Canada Toll-free). Our Bone Health Consultants would be happy to go over different pricing options and help find the best solution for you :). We look forward to speaking with you!

– Yoori @ AlgaeCal

Thank you for reaching out, Elaine! We don’t recommend you to take additional supplemental calcium when taking AlgaeCal Plus, as we always take into consideration the calcium you are getting from your diet, which is usually about 400-500 mg daily. This, plus the 720 mg of calcium from AlgaeCal Plus, helps you to reach your recommended daily requirement very easily which is around 1200 mg for women over the age of 50 :). I hope this helps!

– Yoori @ AlgaeCal

Thanks for reaching out, Judy! I’m not aware of any interactions between AlgaeCal and lisinopril, but I always suggest confirming with a doctor and/or pharmacist as our team of Bone Health Consultants are not medical professionals. We have an excellent information sheet you can share with them HERE. Hope this helps! 💚

– Megan

Great question, Lacey! Some studies suggest that small amounts of Omega-3 can be absorbed through the skin, although the absorption rate was significantly lower compared to oral supplementation. AlgaeCal hasn’t conducted any studies on the potential benefits of topical application of the Triple Power Fish Oil. That said, omega-3 fatty acids are extremely hydrating and may help improve various skin conditions. However, since the Triple Power Fish Oil is sweetened, it may not be ideal for external application.
– Manja

Carol, you are more than welcome to continue enjoying these foods while taking AlgaeCal and Triple Power Fish Oil! 🙂

– Sam

So sorry to hear that you’re experiencing this sensitivity while taking our products, Toni. We understand that nutrition can be complex and some people may be sensitive to higher levels of vitamin and mineral intake. We will be contacting you by email to provide more personalized support.
– Manja

Rest assured, Daryll, that there is no iron content in AlgaeCal. Thus, this supplement should not affect your body’s iron levels!
– Sam

We are happy to hear that you feel stronger, Pamela! While many of our customers share with us that they feel stronger since being on AlgaeCal, the only definitive way to know that the program is working is to go for a follow-up DEXA scan! Please visit the same clinic as your last scan, and let us know once you have your results for your follow-up DEXA scan in March – we can’t wait!

– Yoori

Elizabeth, you can twist them open and sprinkle the flavourless powder into food and drinks. We suggest choosing something like a smoothie, yogurt, nut butter, applesauce, or oatmeal because the powder doesn’t fully dissolve until stomach acid is present (it might be a little unpleasant in water or juice!). Also, avoid adding to very hot foods /drinks as temperatures above 120F may reduce the potency of some nutrients. Hope this helps! 🙂
– Sam

Hi Maartje,

Thank you so much for connecting with us about this! You can order a Vitamin D3 test kit on our website HERE. Please let us know if there’s anything else that we can assist you with 🙂

That’s so wonderful to hear, Pearle! Congratulations on the increases you’ve seen with AlgaeCal! Thank you for your commitment to bone health! 🙂

– Kendra

Thank you for your question, Melanie! You are welcome to take your probiotic with your Strontium Boost at nighttime, as we are not aware of any interactions between the two supplements :). I hope this helps!

– Yoori

Thank you for sharing your concern, Angela! We are not aware of any interactions between AlgaeCal and vitamin B12, and my understanding is that they do not compete for absorption. Please feel free to confirm this with a doctor or a pharmacist :). I hope this helps!

– Yoori

Hi, Nancy! To confirm, AlgaeCal Plus has 120 capsules per bottle, so taking the recommended 4 capsules daily will leave you with a 30-day supply! 🙂 If you need any further clarification, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 (US & Canada Toll-free) or email [email protected]. We are happy to help!

– Yoori

We are sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with constipation, Carol. We would not expect AlgaeCal Plus to cause constipation, as it is composed of 100% natural vitamins and minerals! That said, we understand that people can have different sensitivities to increased vitamin and mineral intake. A friendly note that a 2:1 calcium to magnesium works best for our bodies, and constipation can be a sign of an imbalance between calcium and magnesium. For more details on this topic, please visit our blog article HERE. The good news is that this is often something that is easily resolved through dietary changes and the right nutrition. I have emailed you to provide personalized support, so please keep an eye out in your inbox! 🙂

Thank you for reaching out, LG! You are welcome to take AlgaeCal Plus together with D3 complete as we are not aware of any interactions :). I hope this helps!

– Yoori

Thank you for reaching out, Jamaine! This depends on the ingredients of your multivitamin. I’ve taken a quick look at the supplement facts of Pure Encapsulations
PureGenomics Multivitamin, and we would not expect this to interact with both AlgaeCal Plus / Strontium Boost, so you are welcome to take them at the same time :).

We are also not aware of any interactions between CoQ10, P5P, and our AlgaeCal Plus / Strontium Boost.

Jamaine, would you be able to give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 (US & Canada Toll-free) or email [email protected] with the names of your medications? We’d be happy to check on any potential interactions for you, and provide personalized support! We look forward to hearing back from you soon 🙂

– Yoori

Thank you for reaching out again, Jamaine! As we are not familiar with the ingredients of CholestePure, we suggest reaching out to a Doctor or a Pharmacist for their best recommendations :). HERE is our Doctor Information Sheet for your convenience. I hope this helps!

Thank you for sharing your concern, Elizabeth! While magnesium oxide is not as soluble as some other magnesium salts (and so it is not absorbed as rapidly in our body), magnesium oxide contains nearly triple the amount of actual magnesium than other forms. This is why even with the lower absorption rate, it still delivers more magnesium per capsule so more gets into your bloodstream to deliver all its many benefits to your bones and body. We actually have a thorough article on this topic, which you can find HERE :).

Please be mindful that AlgaeCal Plus already contains the optimal 2:1 ratio of Calcium (720mg) to Magnesium (350mg). Because of this, you generally do not need to continue taking any additional magnesium in supplement form! If you will be taking a little extra magnesium, be mindful of how your body is feeling and cut back if you need to. Extra magnesium can sometimes cause loose stools or GI discomforts, as it works as a natural laxative. I hope this helps! Feel free to give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 (US & Canada Toll-Free) if you have any follow-up questions!
– Yoori

Thank you for reaching out, Carol! It may be helpful to know that AlgaeCal does not necessarily have to be taken away from calcium-rich foods. Our bodies can absorb around 500 mg of calcium at a time, so it’s best to take no more than 500 mg in one sitting. However, if you consume more than this amount, you’ll still absorb calcium, although the absorption rate for the excess over 500 mg will be lower.

On the other hand, we do recommend keeping Strontium Boost away from calcium-rich foods by at least 2 hours for the best absorption. This is because calcium and strontium compete for absorption, and calcium always wins! You can try mixing Strontium Boost powder into applesauce or mashed bananas, which are low in calcium. I hope this helps! 🙂

Hi Lucia, thank you for sharing your journey with us. It’s crucial to understand that consistency is key for improving bone density. Our bones need daily nourishment, just like we need food and water every day. After 40, bone loss naturally continues, so providing our bones with essential nutrients daily gives them the best chance to rebuild.

We understand that keeping up with a supplement routine can be challenging with a busy schedule. However, taking the full dose of AlgaeCal Plus and adding Strontium Boost every day is vital for seeing improvements in bone density. Bone health is a journey, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

We’d love to help you stay consistent with your bone health regimen. Our Bone Health Consultants can discuss strategies to fit AlgaeCal into your daily routine and address any questions you have about Strontium or other aspects of your bone health journey.

Please give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 (toll-free for USA & Canada). Our consultants are ready to provide personalized support and help you achieve your bone health goals. Remember, you’re on the right path, Lucia. With consistency and the right support, you can work towards improving your bone density. We’re here to help you succeed!

Hi Cheryl,

Thank you for your question! I’m not a medical professional, but typically, there is a standard of 4 hours separation between thyroid medications and calcium supplements. I recommend confirming with your doctor or pharmacist for their best recommendation.

Many of our community members who take thyroid medications in the morning usually take AlgaeCal Plus with lunch (rather than breakfast), and dinner. Since you take your meds twice a day, I suggest reaching out to our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free) or email [email protected]. They’ll be happy to suggest a schedule tailored to your lifestyle!
– Manja

Sandra, I completely understand your feelings – navigating health advice from loved ones can be challenging, especially when it comes to medications that you’d prefer to avoid. It’s wonderful to hear that you’re considering your options for maintaining your bone health. If you’re interested in a safe and natural approach, AlgaeCal is the only calcium supplement that is clinically supported to help increase bone density. If you have any questions or would like more information, don’t hesitate to call our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free). They would be happy to assist you! 🙂
– Sam

Thanks for sharing your concern, Ann! The majority of calcium supplements provide an excessive dose of calcium on its own (or calcium with vitamin D), without the many other nutrients needed for absorption into bone. AlgaeCal is a whole food source of calcium with a wide variety of naturally occurring trace minerals, plus added vitamin D3, K2, and C, and boron! This perfect balance of vitamins and minerals all work together to keep calcium out of soft tissue like the heart and arteries, and deliver it straight to where it’s needed – our bones! The safety of AlgaeCal is confirmed in all three of our human clinical studies. To review the research, visit our website here. Additionally, if this is something you would like to share with your doctor, we have an excellent information sheet you can share with them here. I hope this helps! 🙂
– Sam

Of course, Susan! You are more than welcome to take 2 capsules of AlgaeCal Plus with lunch and another 2 capsules of AlgaeCal Plus with dinner. 🙂
