Types of Calcium

All forms of Calcium Supplements are not the same. Calcium lactate and calcium phosphate are like plaster. Calcium carbonate is like chalk. Why do we say that? It is because only 5% of the Calcium is absorbable in 20 hours. It makes great plant fertilizer, but not the best for human bodies. In most 1000-mg calcium capsules found in health food stores today, 600 mg is calcium carbonate, which is absolutely useless as a calcium replacement, and of the remainder only about 40 mg is usable, about 4%. That is why people who take Calcium are still unhealthy, the form of Calcium they are taking is unacceptable and provides very little benefit. Coral Calcium comes in two distinct varieties, Fossilized Coral Calcium and Marine Coral Calcium. Each has its own area of most effective use. Marine Coral Calcium is far superior to Fossilized in the area of maintaining bone structure, DNA replication and vital electrical energy for the heart and muscle movement. Marine Grade Coral Calcium is mined fresh from the sea bed (ocean floor) and has the same nutrients as that found in the living coral. Fossilized Coral Calcium is collected or mined from the beaches where it has washed ashore in years past. Fossilized Coral Calcium in Tea Bag or powder form has proven to be an effective agent in quickly alkalizing the body. The Coral Reefs off the Islands of Okinawa, Japan contain the most potent Coral Calcium, by a large margin, found anywhere in the world.
