Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes AlgaeCal Collagen different from standard collagen supplements?
Unlike generic collagen powders, AlgaeCal Collagen is a targeted, evidence-based formulation. It combines four patented collagen peptides — Verisol®, Fortigel®, UC-II®, and Fortibone® — each clinically validated in human trials for a specific outcome:
- Skin elasticity and wrinkle reduction‡
- Joint cartilage regeneration and pain relief‡
- Nail and hair strength‡
- Improved bone mineral density‡
Each ingredient is included at its full clinically studied dose, and all are backed by peer-reviewed, placebo-controlled human trials conducted at institutions such as Harvard, Tufts, and the University of Freiburg. This is not a generic blend — it’s a precise, multi-collagen formula designed for measurable outcomes across skin, joints, and bone*.
- Is there clinical research to support the claims?
Yes. There are 25 peer-reviewed human clinical trials involving these specific collagen peptides — including double-blind, placebo-controlled studies published in journals such as Nutrients, Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, and Osteoarthritis and Cartilage. These trials were conducted by institutions including Harvard, Tufts Medical Center, Penn State, and the University of Freiburg.
- What are the active ingredients and their mechanisms?
- Verisol®: Targets fibroblasts to increase production of collagen, elastin, and proteoglycans for improved skin, hair, and nails‡.
- Fortigel®: Stimulates chondrocytes to regenerate joint cartilage and reduce activity-related pain‡.
- UC-II®: Undenatured type II collagen that modulates immune response via oral tolerance, reducing cartilage-targeting inflammation‡.
- Fortibone®: Signals osteoblasts to increase collagen synthesis in bone tissue and slows bone resorption‡.
- Can I recommend this to patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis?
Yes. Particularly because Fortibone® is the only collagen clinically supported to increase bone mineral density in humans. Studies show measurable gains in spine and hip BMD in postmenopausal women over 12 to 48 months‡ — making it an ideal adjunct to mineral-based bone health protocols like AlgaeCal Plus*.
- Is this appropriate for joint support patients already using NSAIDs or other interventions?
Yes. The joint-supporting collagens — Fortigel® and UC-II® — have been shown to reduce pain, stiffness, and functional limitations, often resulting in decreased reliance on OTC interventions‡. Importantly, their mechanisms are non-pharmacologic, and they are generally well-tolerated with no known contraindications.
- Is AlgaeCal Collagen safe for long-term use?
Yes. Each ingredient has been studied for safety over periods of 3 to 48 months in both healthy adults and populations with joint or bone conditions. The formula is non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and contains no artificial sweeteners or preservatives.
- How is this taken, and does it require splitting doses?
One scoop daily provides the full clinical dose of all four patented collagens.It’s unflavored, odorless, and dissolves quickly in coffee, tea, water, or smoothies — no splitting or timing requirements needed.
- Can AlgaeCal Collagen be used alongside AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost?
Yes. In fact, it’s designed to complement them. AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost provide the mineral matrix for bone growth. AlgaeCal Collagen provides the collagen scaffolding essential for mineralization, as well as added joint and skin benefits‡.
