Coral Calcium
from Okinawa Japan

There are over 200 different diseases link to calcium deficiency and the benefits of calcium supplementation are more apparent today than ever before.  Calcium deficiency has been linked to such conditions as: arthritis, heart disease, osteoporosis, eczema, Alzheimer's disease, high cholesterol, muscle cramps, kidney stones, gallstones, gout, indigestion, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, hypertension, and frequent headaches. 

The Associated Press reported on a study released by the New England Journal of Medicine that older people can reduce the risk of broken bones by fifty percent by taking calcium and vitamin D supplements.

Calcium isn't just for healthy bones and teeth.  Calcium is involved in literally hundreds of vital bodily functions, from pumping of the heart to DNA replication.  If the body doesn't get enough calcium, it takes it from the bones which can lead to Osteoporosis.  One very important function of calcium in people (and animals) is to neutralize acidity and help achieve the proper pH balance. The proper pH balance is to maintain the body at neutral (pH 7) to slightly alkaline levels. Alkalinity is essential for life, health, growth and vitality.  pH levels lower than seven are considered acidic.  To fully realize the importance of maintaining a neutral to alkaline level consider this: at pH 6 crabs die, salmon die at pH 4 and all fish die at pH 3.

One of the biggest obstacles to calcium supplementation is absorption and utilization of calcium by the body.  The calcium in milk, which is commonly known as a wholesome source of calcium, only has a 12% absorption rate.  Calcium Carbonica, found in most vitamin and mineral supplements, has an absorption rate of less than 4%.  Calcium Citrates are better but still not enough.  What's not absorbed  is secreted through urine.  Studies have shown that natural source coral calcium is better absorbed and subsequently utilized by the human body than all other calcium products.  The calcium in high grade marine coral calcium has been shown to have absorption rates greater than 98%.  This phenomenal high absorption is attributed to perfect balance of organic calcium, magnesium and over 70 essential marine minerals.

Not all Coral Calcium are the same.  There are several grades of coral calcium: land or mountain grade, beach grade and marine grade.  Land grade coral calcium is mined along with lime stone for construction and is the lowest grade.  It has a high calcium content but lacks the other essential minerals.  Beach grade coral calcium are grains that are are washed up on the beach.  This type of coral calcium is commonly used in sachets or "tea bags"; although high in calcium content, these too lack the essential mineral balance.  Marine grade coral calcium is the best source of calcium.  The marine grade coral calcium are the natural organic coral grains that have accumulated in the Okinawa tidal basin.  The majority of marine grade coral calcium is referred to as CCP or Coral Calcium Powder which has a calcium to magnesium ratio of 35:4.  In the Okinawa basin there are pockets of much older coral grains referred to as SMP or Sango Mineral Powder, which is the highest grade, mineral rich coral calcium.
