What Is Calcium?

Calcium is a mineral that occurs in most plant and animal matter, and is essential for the formation and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. It helps regulate the heartbeat and is necessary for blood clotting. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in your body. It is very important for:

Blood clotting
Building bones
Cardiovascular wellness
Central role in haemoglobin and protein synthesis
Controlling muscle contraction
Initiating DNA synthesis
Nerve function and transmission
Signalling biochemical processes in cells
Teeth development and maintenance

Do I Need A Calcium Supplement?

Yes, we all need calcium supplements. It is a proven fact that over 200 diseases are caused by calcium deficiency alone. The word "supplement" implies extra nutrient ingredients to provide health benefits over and above a balanced diet. The deficiency of nutrients and minerals in our soils as well as the over processing of commercial food products depletes the natural availability of necessary minerals and nutrients in our foods.

Many of the regular calcium supplements in health food stores or pharmacies are poorly absorbed by the body. Warning: You should avoid bone meal, dolomite, and oyster shell calcium because they may contain lead or other toxic metals. Check labels to see how much "essential calcium" is in each pill.

How Much Calcium Do I Need?

The amount of calcium your body needs depends on your age, sex, and current level of health. Daily recommendations are:

What Happens If I Don't Get Enough Calcium?

The absence or deficiency of calcium can lead to serious disease. Acidic foods promote body acidosis and low calcium intake results in immediate release of calcium from its stores in the body. Calcium is absolutely essential for maintaining proper health.

1. You may develop osteoporosis, which may result in:

 Brittle bones
 Development of hunch back "dowager's hump"
 Gradual loss of height
 Serious fractures in falls
 

You may also experience symptoms of secondary osteoporosis (arthritis, cancer, chronic pulminonary disorders, intestinal diseases, kidney disease, and liver disease).

2. You may also develop osteoarthritis, factors which may cause:

 Congenital disorders of joints
 Infections of joints
 Metabolic and endocrine disease
 Overuse of joints
 Rheumatoid disease
 Trauma to joints and adjacent fracture of bones

Does Anything Affect The Body's Ability To Absorb Calcium?

The following inhibits proper calcium absorption:

 Alcohol and caffeine
 Animal protein in excess
 Coarse fibre in excess
 Phosphates (in soft drinks)
 Saturated fats
 Simple sugars in excess
 Some medicines, such as tetracycline (an antibiotic) and antacids that contain aluminium.

The following increases calcium absorption:

 Sunlight (2 hours daily)
 Vitamin D
 

Are All Calcium Supplements Created Equal?

No, there are many types of calcium but what sets them apart is the body's ability to effectively use or absorb it. In most 1000 mg calcium capsules, 600 mg is calcium carbonate and is absolutely unusable by the body. You need to look for the amount of "elemental" calcium as this is the absorbable amount your body will get.

How Does Coral Calcium Interact with Other Minerals?

Coral calcium contains every mineral required by your body and it has them in approximately the same balance as your body. The mineral wheel illustrates the interactions between minerals. You can see by the arrows coming from Calcium (Ca) that it has interactions with 8 minerals which in turn each have chemical activity with several other minerals and so on. Your cellular functions rely on this synergistic mineral balance.

Will Coral Calcium Cure My Disease?

The use of Coral Calcium does not prevent, cure or treat any disease. What it will do is balance your system into a higher state of non-acidosis thus becoming more alkaline. The body has the capability to heal itself if provided with the proper nutrients. Coral Calcium is the finest mineral supplement mix on the market today, containing minerals in the perfect natural balance. The average diet is deficient in even the minimal amounts of minerals needed to maintain good health. Maintaining a proper pH balance (7.0-7.5) is essential in decreasing susceptibility to disease.
