UltraCal Sea is the only source of Sucrosomial^® Calcium deriving from the red alga Lithothamnion Calcareum

UltraCal Sea is a compound containing Sucrosomial^® Calcium with calcium carbonate derived from the red algae Lithothamnion Calcareum, that guarantees high absorption and excellent tolerability.

Calcium is a macro-element necessary for normal development and maintenance of bones, as well as for correct neuromuscular and cardiac function. Almost all the calcium contained in our body is stored in the teeth and bones.
Calcium deficiency is the main cause of development of osteoporosis, and intake in food is not always sufficient, as absorption through milk and milk-based products is around 20-30%. The recommended daily intake of calcium is 800 mg, but only around 30-35% is absorbed, showing a reduction if administered in doses above 500 mg. Calcium intake can also cause gastrointestinal problems, including stomach pains, constipation, bloating and flatulence.

UltraCal Sea Sucrosomial^® Calcium is a calcium carbonate salt (31% calcium) consisting of a phospholipid and sucrose ester matrix, which helps the calcium to pass through the gastric environment without interacting with the mucosa or with other nutrients; it does not irritate the intestinal mucosa, where it is absorbed and then released.
