Has anyone tried Red Algae for bone health

@singingbones thanks,,, makes me wonder if docs prefer that we do separate elements…simpler chemically and easier to know what’s in those…though it’s is harder to find calcium by itself, especially plant-based (red algae)…usually is combined with D3…one idea I read somewhere was to alternate combo plant-based with Citracal (calcium citrate/D)… all ideas welcome, as your help better focuses my own research.

@nycmusic I am trying Pureplanet Red Marine Algae Plus. I do not see D3 on the label. I purchased on Amazon but I am sure it is available elsewhere.

@nycmusic - yes, it's tricky--especially if you want to monitor your own personal needs/levels. I take less D3 in the summer (perhaps every other day), more in the winter--depending on the blood lab results. My integrative dr prefers a higher reading for D3; the conventional drs like it in a bit more conservative range. It's certainly a challenge w/calcium, too. I want to be able to take it a couple times a day for absorption purposes. If it's combined w/D, then how does that work?
As you know, I gain a lot of info from Inspire.com forum too, in addition to my own research/reading. Their format is changing, so not sure I'm a fan of it--we'll see. However I have found favorites (like yourself), where I feel I can trust their research.
I have been taking Calcium Hydroxyapatite for bone health--at least for now!
