Can this vitamin help you live longer? The Danish government just spent $15M to find out.

The D3 complete. Is 1 a day sufficient enough?

Great question, Mary! The suggested dosage for D3 Complete is between 1-4 softgels, as 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. Please feel free to give our Bone Health Consultants a call at 1-800-820-0184 (US & Canada Toll-free) if you need any personalized support!

Thank you for reaching out, Sally! Our Bone Health Expert, Lara Pizzorno, has shared that the recommended daily intake of vitamin E is 15 mg/day for females and males over the age of 14. Research has found that doses of up to 1000mg/day in adults appear to be safe. 🙂 I hope this helps!

Was wondering if AlgaeCal reached out to you Mary as my daughter who is 46 has the same problem with absorbing vitamins as you.

Hi Cindy! We would love to hear more about your daughter’s story to provide personalized support. Please give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 (US & Canada Toll-free), and any one of our Bone Health Consultants would be happy to assist you! 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed health history and concerns, Mary. I’m truly sorry for the challenges you’ve been facing, but it’s great to hear that you are working closely with your healthcare professionals to manage your vitamin intake, and find the best diet for your needs.

Regarding your question about Vitamin E from annatto, we recommend reaching out to your doctor, as this falls outside our scope of expertise. For Vitamin K, the ideal levels can vary depending on individual health needs, so I’d suggest confirming this with your doctor as well. They’d be able to provide the best guidance for you based on your health history.

Mary, I’m glad to hear that you’ve been successfully increasing your bone density in your spine with the Bone Builder Pack! While it’s quite common to see improvement in the spine first, and other areas to follow due to its makeup (more on this topic HERE), we want to ensure you’re getting the most out of the program, so you can see the desired results for your hips as well! I’m glad to see that you’ve been connecting with one of our Bone Health Consultants to review your DEXA scans, and I hope this provides you with valuable insights moving forward. 🙂

I have this same question but I don’t see a reply to it here. Can someone reply to this ? Thanks!

Great question, Anca! Our D3 Complete was created for those who are deficient in vitamin D and need an additional vitamin D on top of the 1600 IU AlgaeCal Plus provides per daily 4 capsules. You see, 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. I hope this helps! 🙂

Great question, Lori! You can take AlgaeCal at the same time as D3 Complete — we’re not aware of any interactions between the two.

What Dr. Tan explained is more about formulation. He mentioned that fat-soluble vitamins like D3 and K2 are generally better absorbed when delivered in an oil-based softgel, like in D3 Complete. However, when these vitamins are included in a mineral-based supplement like AlgaeCal Plus, they’re added in powder form instead — that’s because minerals and oils don’t mix well during formulation.

So it’s not that they shouldn’t be taken together — it’s just that the form they come in depends on what they’re combined with. Taking AlgaeCal and D3 Complete at the same time is perfectly fine and can actually help simplify your routine.

Hi Diane, the form of vitamin E being discussed in this interview is called “Tocotrienol” and it can be found in our D3 Complete formula! I hope this helps. 🙂

Thank you for your honest feedback, Jane!

We are sorry for the confusion, Marcy! To clarify, You can safely take calcium and D3 Complete together — there are no known interactions between the two.

Dr. Tan’s explanation is more about the formulation of the products. He mentioned that fat-soluble vitamins like D3 and K2 are better absorbed when they are in an oil-based softgel, as in D3 Complete. However, in a mineral-based supplement, these vitamins are added in powder form instead, since minerals and oils don’t mix well during formulation.

So, it’s not a matter of not being able to take them together — it’s simply that the formulation depends on the ingredients they’re paired with. I hope this information helps! 🙂

Thank you for reaching out, Carol! Our regular AlgaeCal contains the raw AlgaeCal powder with only Vitamin D3 added. AlgaeCal Plus includes that same raw powder, along with added Magnesium, Vitamin K2, D3, Boron, and Vitamin C.

If you’re avoiding Vitamin C, our regular AlgaeCal may be the better option for you. That said, please note that both versions of AlgaeCal contain a trace amount of phosphorus. This is naturally occurring from the algae—similar to the way phosphorus is found in many everyday foods like dairy, meat, fish, and eggs. 🙂

I hope this helps! If you have any medical conditions, we always recommend consulting a healthcare professional before adding any new supplements to your routine. HERE is our Doctor Information Sheet for regular AlgaeCal, and HERE is the one for AlgaeCal Plus.
