Coral Calcium Dietary Supplements
Brazil Live Coral and True Blue Okinawa Coral Calcium Are Supreme Coral Calcium Daily Supplements
Degenerative problems affect over 43 million
Americans. Arthritis accounts for over 44 million outpatient visits and
more than three-quarter of a million hospitalizations every year.
Arthritis is second only to heart disease costing the nation over 65
billion each year. As the baby-boomers age, experts calculate that
arthritis will affect 60 million Americans, or 20% of the total
population.Osteoporosis is also a major public health threat for an
estimated 44 million Americans, or 55 percent of the people 50 years of
age and older. In the U.S. today, 10 million individuals are estimated
to already have the disease and almost 34 million more are estimated to
have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis and
related fractures. Of the 10 million Americans estimated to have
osteoporosis, eight million are women and 2 million are men.
A lot of the suffering and pain associated with
degenerative problems can be minimized with proper diet, exercise and
intelligent dietary supplementation. Intelligent dietary supplementation
begins with a mineral supplement that has calcium properly balanced with
other nutrients that are necessary for calcium absorption and
re-absorption into the bones. If not properly balanced, calcium ends up
being leached from the bones and being deposited in the soft tissues. In
fact, Pathologists report that over 85% of all autopsies done on people
over 65 demonstrate calcification of soft tissue within the body.
Therefore, it does not appear that a calcium deficiency causes
degenerative bone disease, but rather a condition whereby the calcium is
being leached from the bones and being deposited in the soft tissues due
to nutrient imbalance.
What is Coral Calcium?
Coral Calcium is a salt of calcium derived from fossilized or live coral
reefs. The coral calcium market is dominated by Okinawa coral calcium and
Brazilian coral calcium:
Okinawa Coral Calcium. There are two sources of Okinawa coral
calcium, above-sea coral calcium and below-sea coral calcium. Below-sea coral calcium is vacuumed from the ocean floor near the delicate
coral reefs. Above-sea coral calcium is coral that lived under water
hundreds of years ago and then has been naturally deposited on the
islands of Okinawa. The coral is preserved under layers of soil
until mined to create above-sea coral calcium products without
harming the environment. True Blue Coral Calcium is harvested from
above-sea coral.
Laboratory analysis of the two kinds of Okinawa corals show that each
variety have similar mineral content. above-sea coral calcium tends to
have a little higher percentage of Calcium - 35 to 38% while the below-sea coral has 20 - 24% calcium.
Brazil Coral Calcium.
There is a different category of coral calcium that is not from Okinawa.
This coral calcium is harvested live as it washes up on the beaches
of Northern Brazil. The certificates of analysis on this product show it
has more than 12 times the trace mineral content of Okinawan coral
calcium.
Brazilian coral calcium is cold processed therefore retaining more of
the marine nutrients, proteins, amino acids and phytonutrients.
Additionally, our Coral Calcium section includes articles and studies about calcium, the
different forms including coral calcium, the proper
calcium to magnesium ratio and drugs that interfere with calcium absorption
and metabolism.

Warning! Cheap
Coral Calcium Suppliers Abound,
But They Are
Not a Bargain!
Watch for
Substandard Coral Calcium
Do not buy "Cheap Coral Calcium". It is not a
bargain. Genuine Coral Calcium is
expensive to harvest, ship and process properly. The stores and many web
sites are
filled with brands that cut corners such as:
- Blending the Okinawa coral with other forms of calcium or coral
from other parts of the world.
- Selling low grade coral calcium or high lead content coral calcium.
- Selling it in caplet form which is not absorbable due to binding
agents and fillers. Capsules are much better utilized by humans.
