Algaecal causing high result in Coronary Artery Calcium test?
There is no direct evidence that AlgaeCal causes elevated coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores or significantly raises cholesterol levels. However, excessive calcium supplementation—especially without adequate vitamin K2 (which helps direct calcium to bones rather than arteries)—could theoretically contribute to vascular calcification over time, particularly in ... -

Some might. Some might not. Why don't you try it? Taste is a very personal and individual thing. I don't know that anyone can speak for you. -

There is no direct evidence that AlgaeCal causes elevated coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores or significantly raises cholesterol levels. However, excessive calcium supplementation—especially without adequate vitamin K2 (which helps direct calcium to bones rather than arteries)—could theoretically contribute to vascular calcification over time, particularly in individuals with absorption issues like celiac disease. Since celiac disease can impair nutrient absorption, it’s possible that imbalances in calcium metabolism or deficiencies in cofactors like vitamin D and K2 might play a role. The spike in your cholesterol is unusual and may not be directly linked to AlgaeCal, but it’s worth discussing with your doctor whether other dietary or metabolic factors (like thyroid function or inflammation) could be influencing both your cholesterol and CAC results. Statins may help manage cholesterol, but further testing (e.g., vitamin K2 status, inflammation markers) could provide more insight into the underlying cause. Always consult your healthcare provider before adjusting supplements or medications. -

Welcome to the forum, @Thoas! Just curious. Why do you ask? Is there some reason you are hesitant to try it besides taste?
