Vitality Science uses lithothamnium for it’s drying properties, it can quickly stop watery stools, but beyond that it is a premium Calcium and trace mineral source. It contains high amounts of calcium and 74 total minerals, including; magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, silicon, sodium, fluoride, zinc and selenium.

What exactly is Lithothamnium?

In the cold waters of the Atlantic off the coast of southwest Ireland and the northwest coast of Iceland grows Lithothamnium calcareum. This red algae accumulates minerals from the seawater throughout its lifetime. When the healthy, living, mineral rich algae loses its fronds, they fall to the ocean floor to calcify, where they are then sustainably harvested.

Lithothamnium Benefits:

Lithothamnium prevents calcium loss associated with degenerative bone conditions, as well as: stimulates growth, remodels the bone and improves bone mineral density.

Bone health improves later in life symptoms such as mobility and bone loss. Not only does it stop bone loss it can actively reverse it! This helps conditions like osteopenia, osteoporosis and fractures. For cats and dogs with arthritis it reduces the inflammatory response and can improve their quality of life.
