First in the category of ?Chemistry and numbers don?t account for
results - and I am thankful for it anyway? - is Coral Calcium.
We know that it is comprised of calcium and dozens of sea - borne trace
elements assembled in a unique way by the life processes of living coral plants.
We know that tiny grains of it seem to catalytically alkalinize the water it
contacts.
What is not fully understood is why people who have access to even minuscule
amounts of it, dissolved into their drinking water, seem to live longer, calmer,
happier and healthier lives. They claim that all sorts of aches, pains and
complaints alleviate or disappear. They soon look younger, and they say they
feel younger too.
Calcium from other sources, even in far greater amounts, just can?t approach
these amazing all-systems benefits.
Why Coral Minerals?
When coral calcium from Okinawa and surrounding domains in Japan is used as a
food supplement, it touches many lives in a highly positive manner. Okinawans
have the best health and longest lives in the world. Some people may dismiss
this phenomenon as a chance observation, there are new scientific basis for the
use of coral calcium for health. One key constituent of coral calcium is readily
absorbable calcium and magnesium, but other factors within coral, including its
highly balanced mineral content and the occurrence of byproducts or the activity
of certain microorganisms, may account for observed benefits.
Why Vitamins and Trace Minerals?
Several minerals and vitamins play a major role in metabolic processes that
product and the matrix of bone and cartilage. Benefit is apparent in bone
integrity when trace minerals such as manganese and zinc are added to calcium
supplementation of the diet. Vitamin D has unequivocal importance in bone health
and levels of 25 hydroxy-vitamin D fall with age.
Different Types of Coral Calcium
The first type of coral is fossilized calcium that has been deposited on the
landmass, or washed up on to beaches. The second type is taken directly from the
seabed. It is marine bed coral. This seabed coral is the coral that has dropped
from the reef or is processed by reef inhabitants. Marine coral is closer in
composition to the living forms of corals, because many mineral and organic
elements are retained, in comparison to fossilized, land based coral. Marine
coral contains more magnesium, and the balance of calcium (24%) to magensium
(12%) content of this second type of marine coral is close to 2:1. This 2:1
ratio is the ideal ratio for calcium and magnesium intake in the human diet.
Marine coral is to be strongly preferred as a health giving supplement over
fossilized coral. 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.
Some commercial types of coral calcium are less than 10% coral calcium? This
practice has emerged in the manufacture of some types of coral calcium capsules.
We provide you with pure Marine Grade Okinawa Coral Calcium. Some people have
not been honest about the production processes for coral calcium, largely as a
consequence of their desire to maximize economic opportunities. These people are
usually using the inexpensive, low grade coral calcium.
Benefits of Calcium
? Healthy Skeletal Function
? Prevention or Amelioration of Bone Loss
? Prevention or Amelioration of Colon Cancer
? Prevention or Amelioration of Hypertension
? Prevention or Amelioration of Pre-eclampsia of Pregnancy
? Cardiovascular Wellness
? Strong Bones and Teeth
? Tissue Glue: Calcium participates in cell adhesion maintaining the integrity
of the linings of body cavities and the skin
? Calcium regulates pH and the cell membranes voltage and channel openings,
thereby bringing nutrients to the cell
? Required for normal DNA function
? Essential for nerve impulse conduction
? Required for skeletal muscle contraction
? Calcium is required for almost every major body functions
? Essential for cell division, immune function, enzyme activity and hormone
production
How Does Coral Calcium Work?
Trace Minerals:
Chemical analyses of many types of coral calcium show that it contains up to
74 different elements derived from the earth's crust and elaborated originally
by live coral polyps from sea water. If one examines the mineral content of the
human body, one finds that all minerals that occur in nature are present to
variable degrees. Calcium is a dominant element in the body of many living
organisms, but it is not the only important nutrient mineral. Evidence has
emerged that our immediate environment may be considered to be "depleted" of
minerals and certain key minerals.
What Calcium Does:
Mention calcium and everyone thinks immediately of healthy bones and teeth.
Whilst skeletal health is absolutely dependent on calcium in the diet, thousands
of scientific publications point to the role of calcium in many fundamental body
functions that sustain life. The element calcium has chemical actions that are
powerful, flexible and life sustaining to the degree that it rightfully claims
the title "The King of Bio-elements".
Osteoporosis and Arthritis Go Hand in Hand
Osteoporosis and Arthritis are major public health concerns that remain
difficult to treat. Osteoporosis is a disease of bone that is characterized by a
diminution in bone tissue mass per unit volume. This bone thinning results in
weakness of the skeleton and a pre-disposition to bone factures. Osteoarthritis
is primarily a disease affecting hyaline cartilage and adjacent bones. In more
advanced cases of osteoarthritis the tissue in and around the joints becomes
hypertrophic. Osteoarthritis seems to occur invariably with advancing age.
Importance of Vitamin D
The biochemistry of Vitamin D is very complex. Calcium works together with
Vitamin D (especially Vitamin D3) and neither nutrient can be effective without
each other. A substantial proportion of calcium absorption into the body is
under the control of vitamin D3. This vitamin exerts major influences on the
handling of calcium by the body. When levels of Vitamin D fall in the body, the
blood levels of calcium will tend to fall and calcium cannot be laid down in
bone. Vitamin D is synthesized in the body as a consequence of exposure to
sunshine (an ultimate "nutrient"). Deficiency of vitamin D will cause bone to
lose calcium because as blood levels of calcium fall then calcium is taken from
the "calcium bank" in bones.
Importance of Sunlight
Vitamin D is synthesized in the body as a consequence of exposure to
sunshine. A lack of exposure to sunshine made the disease of rockets a
particular problem in several groups of people (e.g. coal miners, housebound
elderly). Vitamin D is active in its D3 form which is synthesized in the skin as
a consequence of sunlight. Sunlight is important for healthy Vitamin D
synthesis, but on the other hand, modern science has clearly defined the health
risks of overexposure to the sun. Healthy sun exposure should be controlled
exposure and this casual type of exposure will meet most of the body's Vitamin D
requirement, in most climates, in most people.
