Aquamin is a unique marine multi-mineral complex that provides bioactive calcium, magnesium and 72 other trace marine minerals, for the fortification of food, beverage and supplement products. Unlike other mineral sources used in food, beverage and supplement preparation, Aquamin is derived solely from seaweed harvested under an exclusive license off the coast of Iceland. The seaweed, which absorbs trace minerals from the surrounding seawater, coupled with Aquamin’s unique structure, results in a mineral rich product that is neutral tasting, free of chalky texture and easily absorbed by the human body. Aquamin is exclusively distributed in North America by Stauber Performance Ingredients, Inc.
