Pediatric Use

Recommended daily elemental calcium (general guidance):

o    0–6 months: 200 mg/day

o    7–12 months: 260 mg/day

o    4–8 years: 1000 mg/day

o    9–18 years: 1300 mg/day

When to consider supplementation

o    Inadequate dietary intake (e.g., picky eaters, vegan/plant-based diets)

o    Prolonged exclusive breastfeeding when maternal calcium/vitamin D status is low and pediatrician advises supplementation

o    Chronic conditions that impair absorption (e.g., celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, cystic fibrosis)

o    Long-term corticosteroid therapy or other causes of increased bone loss

o    Premature infants or low birth-weight infants (supplementation per neonatologist guidance)

Algae Calcium supplies elemental calcium necessary for bone and teeth mineralization. Calcium plays a vital role in neuromuscular transmission, muscle contraction, blood coagulation, and various enzymatic processes. Being plant-derived, algae calcium naturally contains trace minerals that may support calcium utilization in bone metabolism.

• Absorption: Absorbed from the small intestine; absorption is dose-dependent and enhanced by vitamin D
• Distribution: Circulates in plasma and is primarily deposited in bones and teeth
• Metabolism: Not metabolized
• Excretion: Eliminated mainly through urine and feces

• Pregnancy: Safe when used within recommended doses to meet increased calcium needs
• Lactation: Compatible with breastfeeding and supports maternal calcium balance

Mineral Supplement (Plant-Based Calcium Supplement)

• Hypercalcemia
• Disorders associated with excessive calcium accumulation
• Known hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation

• Excessive intake may lead to hypercalcemia or kidney stone formation
• Use with caution in patients with renal impairment
• Total calcium intake from all sources should be monitored to avoid overdose

Common:

• Constipation
• Abdominal bloating
• Gastrointestinal discomfort

Rare:

• Hypercalcemia with prolonged excessive use

• May reduce absorption of tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, bisphosphonates, and levothyroxine
• These medications should be taken at least 2–4 hours apart

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
