A calcium magnesium complex that starts in the sea rather than the quarry: Igennus sources its calcium from Aquamin® red marine algae and its magnesium from mineral-rich seawater — the plant-and-ocean route to the two minerals bones ask for by name — balanced at the classic 2:1 ratio with vitamins D3 and K2, boron, and naturally occurring trace minerals including zinc and selenium. Ninety vegan capsules; one month at the standard three-a-day.

Marine minerals, and why the source matters

Most calcium supplements are ground rock — calcium carbonate from limestone. Aquamin’s calcium is the skeleton of red algae, harvested with its natural entourage of trace minerals, and prized for its porous, highly absorbable structure. The magnesium arrives the same way, concentrated from seawater. The result is a mineral complex a vegan can take without asterisks: plant-and-ocean sourced, non-GMO, halal- and kosher-compatible, free from the whole allergen roll-call.

The synergy layer

Calcium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth and normal muscle function; magnesium matches both claims and adds the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. But the formulation intelligence is the entourage: vitamin D3 (from lichen — vegan again) contributes to normal calcium absorption and blood calcium levels; vitamin K2 partners D3 in the bone-mineral story; boron rides along in the same metabolic company. It’s the full delivery chain in one capsule, not just the cargo.

Who this complex is designed for

Igennus names its audiences plainly and sensibly: plant-based eaters topping up minerals their diets under-supply; high-protein eaters, whose bodies excrete more calcium; anyone whose digestion complicates mineral absorption; and those focused on bone density by life stage — menopause and the older decades chief among them. For diagnosed bone concerns, the formula accompanies medical care; it never substitutes for it.

How to take it

Three capsules daily with food — split across meals if you prefer the gentler rhythm. Do not exceed the dose. Blood-thinner users take note: vitamin K2 warrants the doctor conversation before starting, as the label itself insists. Pregnancy and breastfeeding likewise. Keep cool, dry and out of children’s reach.

Frequently asked questions

Why 2:1 calcium to magnesium? The classical balance the two minerals are traditionally supplemented at — stated, not accidental.

Truly vegan, D3 included? Yes — lichen-derived D3 is the detail that makes the whole formula plant-based; most competitors quietly use lanolin.

Can I pair it with the evening glycinate? Count total magnesium across labels first — the complex may already cover your day.

The bone-bank framing

Bone health runs on compound interest: the minerals deposited across ordinary decades fund the withdrawals of later ones, and the account rewards early, boring consistency far more than late heroics. That’s the honest frame for a complex like this — three capsules with meals, month after month, alongside the load-bearing exercise and vitamin-D-friendly daylight that no capsule replaces. Igennus’ contribution is removing the excuses: absorbable forms, the D3-K2-boron delivery chain built in, vegan sourcing that ends the compromise debates, and a month per bottle so the habit meters itself. The skeleton keeps its own books; deposit accordingly.

Why capsules over tablets here? Marine mineral powders press poorly — the capsule keeps the formula free of the binder circus.

Selenium and zinc “naturally occurring” — meaning? They arrive with the algae rather than being added — trace passengers of the marine source, listed for honesty.

Three capsules — all at once? Split across meals absorbs more courteously; all-at-dinner remains acceptable if that’s the habit that survives.

Bottle in the fridge? Unnecessary — a cool cupboard suits capsules; humidity is the enemy, not warmth alone.
