How Do Coral Minerals Work?

Minerals are the basic foundation for health. From our bones to the multitude of enzymatic activities at the cellular level, minerals are the key that opens the door to optimum health. Coral minerals work by supplying the body with missing minerals that have crucial roles and by bringing overall mineral levels up, thereby raising the pH of body fluids and tissues back to their natural healthy levels, to an alkaline pH. A high pH (alkaline) is important because most diseases thrive in a low pH (acidic).

Most people in our society are mineral deficient because the soils have become depleted through unsustainable farming practices. When the minerals are supplied in an organic absorbable form, health can improve. Coral contains every mineral needed by the body and is known for its synergistic relationship with the body. Did you know that orthopedic surgeons use pieces of coral for bone grafts because the bone and tendons readily accept the coral

What Are Coral Minerals?

A small sea animal creates coral by ingesting the ionic ocean minerals and secreting them into a coral formation. This natural balance of 74 organic coral minerals are harvested from above sea coral deposits, crushed into an ultra-fine powder and sterilized with ozone.

Because these minerals are harvested from ancient, above ground coral beds, you can be assured that they have not been contaminated by industrial age pollutants. The natural balance of all 74 minerals is important because each mineral requires other minerals to do its job and in turn, those minerals require different supporting minerals. All minerals must be present for any one mineral to work properly.

The organic nature (previously digested by an animal) of the coral minerals is also important. It is very difficult to assimilate minerals, especially inorganic minerals. Organic coral minerals are highly absorbable. What makes the coral minerals so absorbable is the natural ability to become ionic upon contact with moisture. This natural ability to go ionic combined with the full spectrum, organic formation, makes coral one of the most absorbable form of minerals.

Coral Complex is the original (1999) powdered coral capsule product in the USA. The formula has become the most popular and successful coral capsule formula in the USA. The formula remains unchanged because it works so well. All of the ingredients have been proven by years in the marketplace, to be the perfect synergistic combination. Coral is an excellent calcium supplement because it is readily absorbable and has never been known to cause constipation as is common with other calcium supplements.

Coral Powder: 600mg per capsule delivers 225 mg. of calcium and 73 trace minerals. Coral is an excellent calcium supplement because it is readily absorbable and has never been known to cause constipation as is common with other calcium supplements. However, the presence of the trace minerals (every mineral needed by the human body) is perhaps more important than the calcium.

Calcium Citrate: 5 mg. of citrate per capsule. Originally formulated for the synergistic enhancement between the calcium's.

Vitamin D: 400IU of D3 as cholecalciferol is in each capsule. This Vitamin D3 is derived from a natural source (lanolin from sheep hair). Vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin) is necessary to charge the Vitamin D receptors of the small intestine that are instrumental in the uptake of calcium. Most naturopathic doctors believe that 1000 - 1500 IU. of Vitamin D is necessary to fully charge the Vitamin D receptors. Many people are Vitamin D deficient because they get very little sunshine without sun block or hats. Typically, about one hour of unprotected morning sun will allow the body to produce 10,000 IU. of Vitamin D.

Vitamin C: 5 mg. is in each capsule. This small amount of Vitamin C was added for the synergistic effect on the formula.

Magnesium: 50 mg. as citrate and oxide has been added. The main reason for this is the general impression that high ratio of magnesium is needed with calcium. It is true that calcium needs magnesium to be present for a natural balance to exist. The relationships of minerals are intricate and complex. Calcium and magnesium have an antagonistic relationship, meaning calcium and magnesium block each other. Magnesium is naturally present in coral (at a 40:1 ratio) in a similar ratio as found in the human body.

Malic Acid: is derived from apple juice and is known to prevent the clumping of calcium. Although the calcium found in coral has never been known to clump, the malic acid is added for this reason.

Betaine HCL: is a substance that stimulates the production of stomach acid. The small amount of betaine HCL in each capsule was intended to trigger the production of stomach acid for enhanced digestion of the coral minerals.
