Review:  My GYN has always stressed with me the importance of taking calcium.  I've tried many a sample from her over the years.  Each had their pros and cons.  I usually have a hard time taking calcium products.  AlgaeCal Plus is an especially exciting new product since it is all plant based, and more easily absorbed without cause for worry about calcium deposits being built up in the body. I know so many people that gave up taking calcium due to the deposits left behind in their bodies. This certainly is a viable option for them.

I must say I was surprised that the capsules are slightly large than most, and more surprised that you have to take 2 capsules 4x daily.  No real problem there for me, but still 1 or 2 a day would be preferred.  I also noticed that whenever I take just 2 capsules, whether morning or with dinner, my stomach cramps up.  I even stopped taking these for a week and started again, and sure enough, every single time my stomach gets sharp pains.  I will not continue taking this product because of this.

However, I am now making my own re-mineralization toothpaste.  It calls for calcium powder.  I emptied the capsules to give me the proper amount.  The powder in the capsules are very gritty.  It's almost like fine sand.  I'm surprised that sea weed could be so gritty.  I thought a plant would grind up better than that.  Maybe the other minerals and vitamins help contribute to this.  Not sure.  In any case, I've decided I'll use AlgaeCal Plus for my toothpaste, but I just might have a real sensitive stomach.  That's why I stopped taking calcium in the first place.  I'll stick to just eating foods with calcium in them.

Pros:  Plant based.  Truly does not cause gas or bloating, nor constipation.  Works great in my homemade toothpaste.

Cons:  My stomach cramps up from this, but it does with any other calcium products I've tried before too.

My Rating:  Thumbs Up for being plant based, but thumbs down since my stomach can't handle it.
