Logo for Icecal L product

Icecal L is a high-quality powder from calcified algae, suitable for calcium-fortified food and drinks. The calcified algae are plant-based and thus suitable for both vegan and vegetarian products.

 

The Biogenic Minerals team has developed its production process to meet every EU regulation on food additives and supplements for human consumption. During production, no solvents or chemicals are used. This ensures that the natural composition of the calcified algae remains intact.

 

As calcified algae are a natural source of calcium, the mineral content of the calcified powder can be slightly different depending on the location and age of the algae layer where it is harvested.
