Prescribed for Life Aquamin Powder – Red Marine Algae Calcium & Trace Minerals Supplement (340g)

What Makes Aquamin Unique?

Aquamin Powder is a premium trace mineral supplement derived from red marine algae (Lithothamnion calcareum), harvested off the coast of the UK. Unlike many mineral supplements that rely on synthetic or rock-derived sources, Aquamin is a pure, single-ingredient algae powder with no fillers, preservatives, or additives. Each serving provides a bioactive blend of calcium, magnesium, and over 72 naturally occurring trace minerals. Sourced sustainably and third-party lab tested for purity, it offers a whole-food approach to mineral supplementation.

What Is Aquamin Powder?

This red marine algae supplement is a concentrated source of plant-based minerals. It contains minimum 32% calcium by weight, along with magnesium and a wide spectrum of trace minerals including phosphorus, iron, fluoride, and iodine. Aquamin is non-GM, vegan-friendly, and free from common allergens. Its natural matrix mimics how minerals occur in nature, making it a standout choice for those seeking a bioactive mineral source.

Key Benefits for Health

When used as part of a balanced diet, Aquamin offers several potential benefits supported by EFSA-approved health claims:

• Calcium for Bone Health: Calcium is essential for maintaining normal bones and teeth. Adequate calcium intake throughout life supports bone density and structure.
• Magnesium for Muscle Function: Magnesium contributes to normal muscle contraction and relaxation, as well as energy metabolism and nerve function.
• Trace Mineral Support: The 72+ trace minerals in Aquamin, including phosphorus, iron, fluoride, and iodine, provide a natural source of essential nutrients that support normal metabolic processes and overall wellness.

These nutrients are recognized as important for health, but individual results may vary. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, , or prevent any disease.

Who Can Benefit from Plant-Based Calcium?

Aquamin is particularly suitable for individuals who prefer or require plant-based nutrition:

• Vegans and Vegetarians: A vegan alternative to animal-derived calcium sources like bone meal or oyster shell.
• Those with Dairy Sensitivities: Provides a dairy-free option without lactose or casein.
• Adults Over 50: As bone density naturally declines with age, adequate calcium and magnesium intake becomes more critical. The easy-to-uses powder can be added to daily routines.
• Athletes and Active Individuals: Physical activity increases mineral loss through sweat; a broad-spectrum mineral supplement may support recovery and muscle function.

How to Uses Aquamin Powder

Aquamin powder does not fully dissolve in water, so for best results:

• Add to smoothies, juices, or protein shakes and blend thoroughly.
• Mix into yoghurt, apple sauce, or other thick liquids.
• Encapsulate the powder yourself using empty capsules if you prefer a pill form.

Consult the product label for serving size recommendations. Start with a small amount to assess tolerance. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
