Coral Calcium
In bulk, bottled, with a 1000-milligram measuring scoop.

So much has already been said about coral calcium that we would like to start with information regarding the importance of the mineral calcium because that is what it is really all about. Understanding the role of this vital mineral is of great importance to your health and well-being.

Role of Calcium in the Body
Minerals are essential to life and play a critical role in every phase of cell function in your body. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in biological health and in 1990 there were over 7,000 articles on the importance of calcium in human health. Calcium is needed for building and maintaining strong bones, maintaining optimum pH levels, cell integrity and for outer cell wall strength. While our food should be the chief source of calcium and other minerals, what we don’t realize is that most of the food we eat today is calcium-deficient whether it is organically or commercially grown. Calcium is easily leached out of soil by rainfall or irrigation. Mineral deficiencies are a major starting point for degenerative diseases. One of the first signs of calcium deficiency is receding gums. A deficiency of calcium can result in concretions in the body, such as kidney stones, bladder stones, gallstones, and arthritic conditions.

The Calcium/Phosphorus Story
The important relationship of calcium to phosphorus is information that has been available for hundreds of years, and yet this knowledge is still not being applied to human diet. The optimum ratio between calcium and phosphorus is two to one, while the typical North American diet contains twice as much phosphorus as calcium. The lactating female should have a 3:1 calcium to phosphorus ratio. The excess phosphorus (an acid) forms di-calcium phosphate accumulations. Phosphorus is in every food we eat but is particularly high in soft drinks. One of the most significant jobs of calcium in our bodies is to help maintain a balanced pH level. Of course, then comes the question that everyone asks—“What is pH?”…

The “pH” Factor and Its Role in Health
Our bodies are alkaline by design and acid by function. The human body is mostly water, which makes up over 70% of our total body weight. We live and die at the cellular level, since this water is used by the body to transport nutrients, oxygen and bio-chemicals from place to place.

The water-based medium can either be acid or alkaline and is measured by a graduated scale called pH (for “potential hydrogen”), with a range of 1.0 to 6.9 being acidic, 7.0 is neutral and 7.1 to 14.0 is alkaline. The lower the pH number, the greater the acidity, and the higher the pH number, the greater the alkalinity. Scientific research has found that the ideal saliva pH is 6.8 (slightly acidic) for optimum health and absorption of nutrients. So the next question is “How do I know what my pH level is?”

Testing pH Levels
The simplest way to determine you pH is by using high quality litmus paper test strips. These are available in a roll from health food stores, pharmacists or Stargrid Enterprises. Doing the test first thing in the morning, before anything is consumed, is recommended. You simply put some saliva on the paper. The pH paper changes to a colour that will reveals where you are on the scale.

Importance of Coral Calcium
Calcium does not function alone; it needs all the other minerals in the correct ratio to be a health benefit. Our Coral Calcium contains an additional 73 minerals that are required by your body to function properly. They are also in approximately the same balance as in your body. Some of the major minerals which are found in our Coral Calcium include carbon, magnesium, sulfur, silicon, hydrogen, iron, and sodium. The trace minerals, which are available in very small quantities, include barium, boron, chromium, copper, iodine, manganese, molybdenum, potassium, and selenium.

With calcium supplements it is not important how many milligrams of calcium you swallow, but rather how much reaches your cells. Millions of people use calcium supplements regularly, and yet Osteoporosis is still a major health threat. Coral calcium is the most bio-available source of calcium to the human body. An easy test you can try yourself is to dab some coral powder on your tongue and you will feel the calcium and the 73 minerals dissolve immediately.

Our Source of Coral Calcium
We are aware of the importance of the role played by corals as part of the eco-system of the oceans. Our coral calcium is mined above sea-level using fossilized coral and does not impact the living coral reefs. Fossilized coral was formed thousands of years ago when the oceans were pristine. It is mined in the vicinity of Okinawa and the removal is regulated by the Japanese government. The little corals digested sea water containing a perfect mineral balance and created a more easily absorbed organic form of calcium. We offer pure coral calcium without any vitamins added because the contact with minerals shortens their shelf life. We recommend that you always take vitamins separately but with your coral calcium, especially vitamin D.
