Coral is a powerful mineral supplement - the calcium and other trace minerals in it are easily absorbed into the body. Plus, its minerals are organic, predigested by tiny sea creatures and secreted into coral formations. Inorganic minerals, however, are tough for the body to absorb, like trying to swallow pebbles! Coral furthermore provides a wide variety of minerals, featuring 74 in total. The minerals in this Okinawan coral are similar in proportion to those in humans, creating a natural, balanced synergy of minerals in the body - calcium being the most plentiful.

Calcium intake is essential for the formation and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. When calcium intake is insufficient, the body takes the calcium it needs from the bones, causing the bones to weaken. Magnesium, calcium and phosphorus function together in bone formation, muscle contraction and nerve transmission. Magnesium is very alkaline and helps to maintain the body's proper pH. Vitamin D is added to aid in the absorption of calcium from the intestinal tract and the breakdown and assimilation of phosphorus.*
