All Coral Calcium
is Not the Same

Have you ever wondered where coral calcium comes from?  Among the oldest and most primitive of organisms is coral. There is a multitude of coral reefs surrounding islands everywhere in the world.  But the coral reefs surrounding Okinawa have proven to be like no other.  Out of over 2,500 varieties of coral in the world, only the Sango Coral from Okinawa contains an organic composition identical to that of the human skeleton, including calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium.

It is important to note that for over two decades, the government in Okinawa has controlled and mined the marinebed coral, the source for coral calcium, without disturbing the living coral reefs.  This environmentally safe approach to harvesting this coral eliminates concerns that the region's reefs are being destroyed for profit. 

Coral Calcium Facts

Calcium is 35% of our body's mineral makeup and our most prominant 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. What a major health benefit!

There has been much debate amongst researchers about what is the better grade of coral calcium, marine bed or fossilized (beach sand).   It has been determined that the bio-availability of the Pure marine coral calcium from Okinawa greatly surpasses all other calcium supplements.

Take a look at these absorption rates:

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

Coral Calcium Wins

The bottom line is that calcium is 35% of your body's mineral makeup and our most demanded mineral. Because coral calcium is ionic and readily bioavailable, it does not become a free radical in the process.  It also donates electrons to help repair damaged cells. This is a true health benefit to all!

Regardless of which form of coral calcium you take, you will most likely benefit. For maximum benefit and health, marine coral calcium from Okinawa, Japan is highly recommended over other sources.   However, you must be careful in buying coral calcium, as there are many suppliers of coral calcium on the market today that are substituting inexpensive "rock" coral, while still charging the high grade coral prices. 

Don't be fooled - buy your coral calcium from a reputable discount vitamin and mineral supplier.  One that can be recommended is the Bob Barefoot trademarked Coral Calcium Supreme product.  Look for this product at your favorite online retailer.
