Will Coral
Calcium Work for Me?
Although most of the
individuals taking coral have a story to tell, not everyone has had a
remarkable turn around in their health status with coral calcium, but, on
the other hand, not one significant side effect has ever been recorded to
my knowledge. Coral calcium has the distinct advantage of being compatible
with many other therapies and it has at least helped many people by
providing wholesome mineral support for many body functions. Coral calcium
has a 600 year documented history with many reports of benefit. No other
natural nutrient mix has such a track record.

Rate
Calcium Absorbing Rate of
Natural Coral
(Experimented on Rats)
(44th The
Japan Dietetics Society, October 16-17, 1997)
The experiment was carried out with 30 rats.
As calcium source, four kinds of calcium (natural coral calcium &
magnesium (SMP), calcium carbonate, milk calcium, cow-bone calcium) were
given as the feed. (Magnesium oxide was combined to the feeds except
natural coral calcium & magnesium to equalize the level of magnesium.
The ratio of calcium and magnesium is 2:1).
After four weeks, organs and blood serum were
taken out to measure calcium and magnesium. As a result of the experiment,
the natural coral calcium & magnesium group showed a high calcium
absorbing rate of 69.6%. Also, high HDL-cholesterol density was shown
compared to other groups.
Compared to milk calcium (milk), cow-bone
calcium, and calcium carbonate, natural coral calcium & magnesium has
better use of calcium, and it also shows good figure on fat within blood
serum. (Dr. Kazuharu Suzuki, Dr. Mariko Uehara, Dr. Ritsuko Masuyama, Dr.
Masaaki Goto, Tokyo University of Agriculture-Faculty of
Agriculture/Nutrition).

Improving
Bone Strength
Calcium-Fortifying Foods and
Influence of Exercise on Bone Mineral Density
(52nd Japanese Society of
Nutrition and Food Science, April 16-18, 1998)
Research experiment on change of bone mineral
density was carried out with the cooperation of 157 students (ages 19-28)
from nutrition schools. (Kagawa Nutrition University, Futaba Nutrition
School)
There were 5 experimental groups as listed
below:
1 Ca group ... Calcium reinforcement
only
2 K group ... Calcium reinforcement and
exercise (1st period: strength training, 3rd period: walking)
2 W group ... Calcium reinforcement and
exercise (1st period: walking, 3rd period: strength training)
3 K group ... Exercise only (same as 2K
group)
3 W group ... Exercise only (same as 2W
group)
As a reinforcement meal, 600mg of calcium and
300mg of magnesium in tablets (raw material: natural coral) and 200ml of
low-fat milk were served with daily meals in period 1 and 3.
As a
result, all of the experimental groups increased in bone mineral density
compared to the control groups. By multiplex comparison examination,
experimental 2K group's bone density increased significantly compared to
any other groups.
Conclusion: By combination of both
calcium reinforcement and exercises, larger increase in bone mineral
density can be expected. Among exercises, strength training is more
effective than walking.

How Does
Coral Work?
Mineral
Depletion:
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 Bioelements".
