The Truth About Coral Calcium by George McClelland

THE TRUTH ABOUT CORAL CALCIUM

“She just moved her leg and the bone broke.” “Be careful because your bones are very brittle.” These statements are as common as corn flakes. The lament of many people, especially women is, “I’ve taken calcium supplements all my life, why do I have arthritis and brittle bones?” The reasons are:

Ø The kind of calcium

Ø Inadequate associated cofactors .

Is Coral Calcium better for you than other calcium supplements you find on store shelves? The answer is a qualified “yes.” These calcium compounds are difficult for the body to use for optimum health. There are numerous problems.

Coral Calcium, Sea shells, chalk and most calcium compounds in the nutritional section of stores are Calcium Carbonate . Grind some chalk into fine powder and mix it with your food. Does it sound appetizing or healthy? No! Yet most of the calcium used in prepared foods and calcium supplements is Calcium Carbonate. Some problems with Calcium Carbonate are:

Ø It does not easily dissolve in water or body oils.

Ø A large amount of digestive acid must be present to change it to a usable form of calcium.

Ø The body must expend great energy in order to convert it into a viable nutritional substance.

Ø With all the associated factors present, the best absorption value you can expect from Calcium Carbonate is 40%.

Ø Calcium Carbonate is in many of the foods you eat daily, but where is its nutritive value?

Some people obtain benefit from Coral Calcium because they are desperate for calcium and enough cofactors are present in the coral for the body to convert up to about 40% of the calcium carbonate into bio available calcium. The bio-available calcium is dispersed wherever it is needed most. The bones may receive little or none of this calcium because the brain does not consider them as important as other body functions.

Calcium Citrate is the most bio-available form found in America. The body can absorb it with less expended energy. Although it is the best source of calcium, there is still an absorption problem if the necessary associated factors are not present. Those factors are:

Ø Boron
