Coral Calcium Ingredients

Differences in Corals

There are important differences in composition between fossilized (land-based) coral and marine (sea-bed) coral. Marine coral contains more magnesium, and the balance of calcium (24%) to magnesium (12%) content of this second type of marine coral is close to 2:1. This 2 to 1 ratio is the ideal ratio for calcium and magnesium intake in the human diet. My research has led me to believe strongly that the natural, magnesium enriched, marine coral is to be strongly preferred as a health giving supplement over land based (fossilized coral), which contains less than 1% magnesium. This superiority is due to its retained, ideal, ionic balance of calcium and magnesium in a 2:1 ratio, and the fact that a host of other nutrients were also washed out of fossilized coral during weathering processes.

The bio-availability of the Pure marine coral calcium from Okinawa, Japan greatly surpasses all other calcium supplements. Compare absorption rates:

Pure marine coral calcium 84% to 100%
Regular calcium supplements – approx. 5%
Chelated calcium – approx. 20%

The bottom line is that calcium is 35% of your body’s mineral makeup and our number one mineral. Because coral calcium is ionic and readily bioavailable, it does not become a free radical in the process and donates electrons to repair the damaged cells. A major health benefit! Regardless of which form of coral calcium you take, you will likely benefit. For maximum benefit marine coral calcium from Okinawa, Japan is recommended.

What is D3?

Vitamin D3 binds with calcium for proper absorption. Humans cannot digest calcium without adequate amounts of Vitamin D3. The most common reasons for Vitamin D3 deficiency in the United States relates to lack exposure to sunlight and infrequent consumption of cold water fish such as wild salmon. Barefoot or Original Coral Calcium Complete contains 2000 IU of Vitamin D3.
