Nutrition from the sea. The ocean is a teaming broth of nutrients and life forms. The tiny plankton, colorful corals and magnificent whales all depend on the ocean supplying life giving minerals.

Calcium release into the interior of cells is also an important signaling mechanism, controlling functions as diverse as muscle contraction to normal cell death. Calcium is the most important signal transduction molecule in nature, with essential functions in plants, bacteria and animals. We have several brands available including:
