Icecal-L FG 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. Icecal-L FG is certified organic.
The Biogenic Minerals team has developed its production process to comply with all EU regulations on food additives and supplements for human consumption. During production, no solvents are used, and no chemicals are added to the final product. This ensures that the natural composition* of the calcified algae remains intact.
