About this Organic Wholefood Calcium supplement
 
Organic Wholefood Calcium is a gentle and bioeffective natural seaweed product. It has a porous and hydrolysed surface area because of years in the ocean, which helps it to be very soluble within the acidic conditions of the stomach.
 
Cytoplan's Organic Wholefood Calcium is a natural seaweed product harvested under an exclusive license from the cool, clean and pristine waters off Iceland’s south-west coast. This is an area untouched by international shipping and industry. Where the warm waters of the gulf-stream meet the cold clean waters of the Arctic, the perfect conditions exist for deposits of Lithothamnion to build up.
