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. more info

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.

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.
