17. Coral Calcuim
Coral Calcium. It is believed to boost ones immune system and help ailments by balancing a bodies PH level. This filter adds healthy amounts of naturally occurring calcium and magnesium while alkalizing the water. Coral Calcium
Calcium and Your Body
The Calcium of Natural Coral Grains
Your body absorbs coral calcium more efficiently, more naturally, than other store-bought calcium supplements. Why?
It’s Porous.
Coral calcium comes from the remains of coral and is naturally porous—it’s full of microscopic holes. Even the smallest grains of powdered coral calcium are a few microns in size, so the powder retains this porous quality. What does this mean?
• It’s less dense than calcium carbonate from limestone, and absorbs quickly into your bloodstream.
• It’s easier for your stomach to handle.
• It has greater surface area: because of all the holes, one gram of coral calcium is larger than one gram of other types of calcium carbonate. This means that gram for gram; more calcium is exposed to and absorbed by the cells in your body.
• It has high bioavailability: high absorption means more
Calcium reaches your system, and less leaves your body as waste. So you get the calcium, magnesium and 74 other trace minerals you need.
What benefits can you enjoy from Coral Calcium?
In addition to calcium and magnesium, coral calcium supplements also contain 74 trace minerals—a bonus only found in coral calcium.
• Coral calcium was, at one time, part of the living reef. And living coral absorbs and produces elements and minerals – plus calcium and magnesium – essential to all living beings. Fossilized coral calcium retains many of these elements and minerals. Other calcium carbonate substances are, well, just plain calcium carbonate.
• And conveniently, the balance of these minerals in naturally occurring coral calcium is ideal for your body.
