ClearCal

Clearcal is a pure calcium supplement without any added mineral cofactors. The calcium is identical to the calcium component in the Phytocal and Multimineral products and is derived from the small red seaweed called “Maerl” (Lithothamnium), found only in the isolated areas off the pristine coast of Northwest Ireland. Of all the sources of calcium, Maerl has one of the lowest levels of undesirable contaminants and comprises a wide variety of essential nutrients including calcium, and trace amounts of magnesium, boron, and zinc. Its superior buffering capacity allows Maerl-based sea calcium to maintain very high rates of absorption, which results in a very high degree of bioavailability.

Maerl is a common name for free living calcified red algae. It has calcium carbonate cell walls that make it rigid, unlike more common fleshy algae. Because of their calcified structure, they are retained in the fossil record unlike most algae and it is known that they have been present since the Miocene period. Maerl is composed of a wide variety of essential nutrients including calcium, magnesium, boron and zinc. Maerl’s unique structure gives it great versatility, and when woven into formulas tailored to the genetics of ABO blood type, insures a phenomenal rate of bioavailability and utilization. Its superior buffering capacity allows Clearcal Maerl-based calcium to maintain very high rates of absorption despite the variable acid and alkaline levels found in the digestive tracts of the various ABO groups.

The performance characteristics of Clearcal exceed all of the critical requirements for effective calcium absorption:

• Clearcal calcium is of highly consistent particle size with excellent dispersion qualities
• Clearcal calcium is fully soluble below pH 5.0
• The solubility of Clearcal calcium can be appreciated visually: There is virtually no sedimentation after dispersion
