Lithothamne Powder — Remineralizing and Alkalinizing Calcareous Algae

The richest calcareous algae in bioavailable calcium with Bionéo Lithothamne Powder: 250g of Lithothamnion calcareum powder, a calcified red algae naturally containing up to 34% calcium, 2% magnesium, and over 70 trace elements in a naturally bioavailable ionic form. Economical powder format to be diluted in a drink, ideal for long-term remineralization regimens.

Why is the calcium in lithothamne well assimilated?

Lithothamne (Lithothamnion calcareum, algae from the coasts of Brittany and Ireland) concentrates calcium in the form of natural calcium carbonate within a polysaccharide organic matrix that facilitates its solubilization in gastric acid. Unlike synthetic calcium supplements (pure calcium carbonate or citrate), lithothamne calcium is naturally accompanied by magnesium (a co-factor for calcium absorption), silicon, strontium, and numerous trace elements that work in synergy for bone mineralization. Its natural alkalizing effect helps to neutralize mild metabolic acidosis often associated with diets rich in protein or refined grains.

Benefits of Bionéo Lithothamne

• Natural bioavailable calcium source: the calcium in lithothamne contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth — authorized EFSA claim. The natural organic matrix improves its bioavailability compared to isolated synthetic forms.
• Alkalinization of the body: lithothamne is naturally basic (pH 9-10). Its buffering action reduces excess metabolic acidity, often associated with joint pain, chronic fatigue, and poor mineral assimilation.
• Comprehensive remineralization: the 70+ naturally present trace elements (magnesium, silicon, strontium, iron, zinc, etc.) support bone remineralization and overall enzymatic function.
• Economical powder format for long regimens: 250g provides several weeks to months of supply depending on the dosage, making it more economical than capsules for continuous supplementation.

Composition

250g jar.

Who is this supplement for?

• People looking to remineralize their body naturally (bones, teeth, joints)
• Menopausal women seeking to preserve their bone mass
• Athletes and active individuals subject to significant mineral loss
• People following an acidifying diet (rich in protein, grains, sugars) who wish to rebalance their pH

Dosage

According to manufacturer instructions. Generally 1 to 2 teaspoons per day in a drink. 3-month course recommended.

Precautions
