OceanEssence & Osteoporosis Prevention
What Is Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a medical condition characterised by low bone mineral density that weakens the bones, making them fragile and more prone to fractures or breaks. It occurs when the density and quality of bone decrease, leading to a higher risk of fractures, especially in the spine, hips, and wrists (1).
This chronic, and often lifelong condition typically develops gradually and is more common in older adults, particularly women after menopause, estimating to affect more than 200 million individuals (2, 3). What’s more, worldwide, osteoporosis is responsible for more than 8.9 million fractures, or one every fracture every three seconds (4). Factors like insufficient calcium intake, lack of physical activity, and certain medications can contribute to its development (5). Therefore, preventing osteoporosis represents a substantial challenge due to the numerous factors that can result in its development. This is where OceanEssence comes in.
OceanEssence
OceanEssence has a plant-based calcium supplement that contains a plethora of naturally derived essential minerals and vitamins that your bones require. This helps to prevent conditions such as osteoporosis. But how? An all-natural ingredient that provides an abundance of calcium and magnesium, called Aquamin.
Aquamin is a marine plant complex that is derived from the red seaweed known as Lithothamnion sp and is sustainably harvested from the waters off the northern coast of Iceland. Over the course of the seaweed’s life, minerals are accumulated from the seawater, and stored within the plant’s cell wall. For example, calcium and magnesium are in high abundance in Aquamin, representing one-third and over 2%, respectively of the 74 components in its total dry mass. Traditionally, Aquamin has been used to increase the nutrient content of food, also known as fortification, and as a nutraceutical, a food substance that can provide health benefits (6).
Aquamin has an intricate and unique 3-dimensional structure (shown in the image below) that is created by the cell wall of the red seaweed. This unique feature is responsible for the extensive health benefits associated with Aquamin compared to other multi-mineral complexes.

How can Aquamin prevent Osteoporosis?
Aquamin contains a rich source of minerals, noticeably calcium, and this plays a crucial role in the prevention of osteoporosis. As a result, supplementation with Aquamin has been indicated to reduce the likelihood of developing osteoporosis and reduce the progression of osteoporosis in those who are living with this condition. But what is the evidence? Let’s take a closer look.
In Animal Studies
⦁ Supplementation with Aquamin resulted in less deterioration of a type of bone tissue called trabecular bone, than calcium carbonate, a supplement often taken by those with osteoporosis (7)
⦁ The trabecular bone was significantly preserved and the material properties of the bone were improved when using Aquamin compared to calcium carbonate (7).
⦁ Aquamin prevented bone loss and maintained bone strength in mice and even resulted in improved bone structure (8)
⦁ When administered alongside a traditional treatment for osteoporosis called Strontium ranelate, Aquamin resulted in a 5 to 10-times increase in the levels of this drug in the bones (9)
⦁ The calcium and magnesium from Aquamin out-performed alternative calcium and magnesium sources in preserving bone density (10)
In Cell/Human Studies
⦁ Aquamin has been shown to improve bone cell mineralisation both in the absence and in the presence of vitamin D (11)
⦁ When bone cells were grown in the presence of Aquamin, the increase in bone mineralisation was three times greater compared to cells that were cultured without (11)
⦁ A reduction in bone mineral density losses was observed in post-menopausal women who consumed Aquamin in combination with pre-biotic over two years (12)
⦁ A reduction in bone turnover markers was reported in post-menopausal women consuming Aquamin only and in those consuming Aquamin plus a pre-biotic (12)
