Do you trust your health with a company that…
- Lied about their calcium source
- Claims their supplement will “Increase Bone Density” yet offers no scientific support
- Offers an unbelievable guarantee, but with no guarantee terms outlined
- Fakes their customer reviews
- Created an “independent” calcium supplement review website … recommending their product as the number one choice
Who Are We To Talk About Ocean Essence?
We are AlgaeCal Inc, the creators of the original plant calcium ingredient, AlgaeCal. We hold the worldwide exclusive rights to the only algae species that can legitimately claim to “increase bone density” in adults.
We do have the published studies to support it, and hundreds of real testimonials and reviews with full name and DEXA results. And our guarantee of increasing your bone density or getting a refund is backed by 22 years in the business, a real office, and well trained bone health consultants that answer calls and issue refunds.
On top of that, we’ve racked up over 5,000 reviews on Amazon with an average rating of 4.7 stars. And there’s one common thread running through those reviews: “I increased my bone density with AlgaeCal.”
We have no issue with competitors launching calcium supplements and making honest promises about them. But only one calcium source, the species of algae unique to AlgaeCal, has clinical studies showing adults increasing bone density. The folks behind Ocean Essence use a different calcium source, yet make AlgaeCal claims.
And that’s just wrong.
Good people like you might fall for those fake promises, spend years taking these products, and ultimately learn you have continued to lose bone density – and increased your risk of breaking bones. Those years should have been spent with a proven product that increased your bone density and reduced fracture risk.
We’re here to let some sunshine in so you can make an informed decision on the legitimacy of Ocean Essence. Here we go!
Ocean Essence Falsified Their Calcium Source
Their website says “Ocean Essence is made with ‘Lithothamnion superpositum,’ a red marine algae flourishing in the pristine waters off Iceland.” But they’re NOT using Lithothamnium superpositum!
We know, because we are the exclusive supplier of this species of algae calcium powder, and we only sell to a small handful of qualified supplement companies. And Ocean Essence isn’t one of them!
And furthermore, the species Lithothamnium superpositum doesn’t grow anywhere near Iceland.
It only grows off the coast of South America and South Africa. Read more
They claim they’re selling Lithothamnium superpositum, because this is the only species of algae that has clinical evidence of increasing bone density in adults. But their calcium source quoted on their website is “Calcium … from red marine algae (Aquamin™)”. Aquamin is a marine algae calcium source, but
- Aquamin uses different species of algae than original AlgaeCal
- Aquamin is not clinically supported to increase bone density in adults
Red and white grapes are both grapes, yet they make quite different wines, right? There is only a 4% difference in the genes of chimpanzees and humans, yet look at the difference in our species! Aquamin and AlgaeCal are both algae in the Lithothamnium family, but produce very different outcomes on bone.
Ocean Essence Claims Their Supplement will “Increase Bone Density” But ONLY AlgaeCal Can Legally Make That Claim
From about age 40 onward, we typically lose bone mineral density each year. Traditional calcium supplements, including Ocean Essence, may slow that annual bone loss a little. But slowing your annual bone loss is a lot different than increasing bone density.
Ocean Essence’s calcium source, Aquamin, has no human studies showing increasing bone density in adults.
Original AlgaeCal formulations have 3 published clinical studies each showing adults increasing bone mineral density.
Offers an Unbelievable Guarantee … with no Terms or Details outlined
Ocean Essence stole our claim of increasing bone density. And now they’re even copying AlgaeCal’s 180-day guarantee—but without any real backing. When does their guarantee start? When does it end? And what measurement device proves you’re eligible for a refund?

Ocean Essence’s Fake Customer Reviews
As of September 6, 2024, Ocean Essence claims to have 26 reviews, but only 11 are verified—and those verified reviews only popped up two weeks ago (August 22, 2024). Meanwhile, the unverified reviews are the only ones that mention bone density results!
Now, get this: The company was registered on December 15, 2023, yet somehow they were selling products and getting “reviews” before they even existed. Here’s one example:
Sophia K 10/9/2023
“Sophia” claims to have a year of results already…so she started on Ocean Essence in the fall of 2022, a year before the company was founded. “Sophia” is one of several reviews which predate the company’s existence.
Fishy, right?
Ocean Essence also seems to have magically “verified” reviews that are unverified on the reviews platform. See below:
Oceanessence Inc Created an “independent” calcium supplement review website … recommending their product as the number one choice
If falsifying their calcium source, making unscientific health claims, offering an undefined and possibly uncollectable guarantee, and faking reviews isn’t enough to instill utter allegiance to their brand, they’ve gone a step farther. They’ve created https://wellnessproductguide.com/ where their credibility is stretched even thinner… if that’s possible.
