Calcium Facts

Are Calcium Supplements Bad for You?

They can be depending on what you take and what the source of the calcium is.
Ours is 100% safe guaranteed. There is not another product like it.

Warning!
DO NOT BUY CHEAP CALCIUM! Good ingredients are not cheap to buy and manufacture. Sometime cheap products can actually damage your body and do more harm then good. Natural sources of calcium such as oyster shell, bone meal and dolomite have recently raised some health concerns. The Natural Resources Defense Council has issued a press release stating that some dietary calcium supplements randomly tested contained unacceptable levels of lead, aluminum, mercury and cadmium. These contaminants are highly toxic.

What Happens When Minerals Are Not Usable at the Cellular Level?

Calcium and all minerals naturally want to bind to something to form compound molecules. Unfortunately compound molecules are physically too large to go into our cells. Some large compound minerals simply move through the digestive tract and exit the body. Nothing is gained and nothing is lost except the cost of purchase. At other times the consequences are much more serious. Certain minerals tend to build up in the body and become toxic. Calcium is one of them.

When the calcium supplied through dietary intake is too large to go into our cells, some of it can get lodged between our cells. That leads to the deposits associated with certain types of arthritis. Sometimes it shows up as kidney stones. Other large calcium molecules float around in the blood ready to become plaque inside our arteries. Unusable calcium is also responsible for a number of other disease conditions. Large calcium molecules cannot be used at the cellular level. Therefore they cannot meet the body's requirement for calcium. When there is an immediate need, the body is forced to take usable calcium out of its storage area (our bones). It is possible to have toxicity from too much unusable calcium in the body. At the same time the body may have a calcium deficiency because there is not enough calcium present in a usable form. Understanding this concept is extremely important. When we start taking calcium in a usable (water-soluble) form, the first thing that happens is the calcium goes for immediate use where it is most needed. After all our cells have been satisfied, the extra calcium starts going into bone storage. Bones that are low in density become stronger. Once the bones have reached their maximum density, the body no longer needs to hold onto the larger calcium molecules. Therefore the body gradually starts releasing them. Calcium deposits gradually diminish and so does the pain associated with them.

Our Water Soluble Coral Calcium contains pure elemental Calcium and pure elemental Magnesium in the same ratio as found in our bodies. It also contains a multitude of Natural Trace Minerals and is 100% usable at the cellular level.

Understanding Absorption

Interpretation #1

Anything that is one micron or smaller will pass through the stomach wall and go into the blood stream. One could say the product has been "absorbed". Passing through the stomach wall into the blood does not necessarily mean “usable” at the cellular level.

Interpretation #2

To be “used” minerals MUST be able to enter individual cells. This is where they are needed. Micron-size minerals are too large to enter our cells. The mineral must be angstrom size. Angstrom size is one million times smaller than a micron.
Our Water Soluble minerals are angstrom size, 100% usable at the cellular level. Size is the KEY to cellular absorption!

Your body is made up of 4% calcium. It is the largest amount of any mineral that there is in your body. Our bodies use calcium for anything and everything that our body needs. Calcium is just one of the many minerals that our body needs. But, it's the most important mineral. That is why it's so important that we have the right amount of calium in our body, and that the calcium we take is absorbable.

Calcium is Used for Everything in Your Body

A calcium mineral must be attached to a red blood cell before that blood cell can carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of your body. Calcium is used for basic cell metabolism. Every cell gets its energy from calcium. Other things must be available but calcium is the base that must be there for everything else to work.

Calcium

~ Regulates heart rhythms
~ Helps maintain proper nerve and muscle function
~ Builds and maintains bones and teeth
~ Assists in normal blood clotting
~ Lowers blood pressure
~ Reduces blood cholesterol levels
~ Eases insomnia
~ Helps regulate the passage of nutrients in and out of cell walls
~ Helps prevent osteorporosis

Some Symptoms of Low Calcium Levels in Your Body

~ Fatigue
~ Depression
~ Osteoporosis
~ Arm and Leg Cramping and/or Spasms
~ Loss of bone in the gums
~ Brittle finger and toe nails

Calcium Deposits Inside the Body

Some of you are familiar with the discomfort caused by calcium deposits in joints. What about calcium kidney stones, gall stones and hardening (calcification) of the arteries? Large unuseable calcium is involved in all these conditions.

Calcium deposits may also form in the body if large calcium comes into the body faster than it can be removed. For instance, if a person's drinking water has a high calcium content, the person may get enough small useable calcium to satisfy the body's needs (there's always at least a tiny percentage that is useable), but the person still develops arthritis or kidney stones. That's because the large-sized calcium clumps together before the body manages to dispose of it

Calcium Compound Molecules

Common calcium compound molecules include: calcium carbonate (carbonate is blackboard chalk), calcium citrate, calcium lactate, calcium gluconate, calcium phosphate, calcium acetate.

The Problem With Calcium Compound Molecules

Most calcium compound molecules are physically larger than our cells. If something is bigger than the cell, it isn't going to be taken into the cell. For instance, you wouldn't try and stick a quarter into a nickel slot. If the body is unable to break apart that calcium compound molecule, it remains too large to be used.


Types of Calcium

Coral Calcium

Coral calcium is a superb calcium supplement. Coral calcium in its natural form is calcium carbonate naturally balanced with magnesium and trace minerals. The calcium to magnesium ratio is exactly what is needed for building strong bones. Coral calcium is more bio-available than most calcium supplements. Depending on the strength of one's digestive system, up to 50% is useable. That far exceeds the 2% usable calcium contained in calcium carbonate. The common name for the carbonate is blackboard chalk! Yes, blackboard chalk. And more importantly, it can be more detrimental than good.

Coral calcium sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Now imagine it being even better!
A newly developed method for breaking coral calcium into elemental (water-soluble) minerals. That's exactly what your body needs for using it at the cellular level. Our Water Soluble Coral Calcium is 100% useable and contains natural trace minerals.

Water Soluble Coral Calcium is not only exactly what your body needs, but it is exacly what it can use because it is 100% absorbable.

Read more on why this water-soluble coral calcium is the only known calcium on the market that is 100% absorbable on the cellular level, making this calcium 100% useable (bioavailable).

Calcium Carbonate

Calcium carbonate is a calcium compound commonly found in pills and powders at health and vitamin stores.Calcium Carbonate is 40% calcium. The rest is carbonate. Of that 40% calcium, only about 2% usable (bioavailable). The 60% left, which is the carbonate is also known as blackboard chalk. Yes, blackboard chalk. You wouldn't go to the store and pay 100% for a product only to be able to use 2% of it and you probably wouldn't pick up some chalk and swallow it either. To put it bluntly, I personally think the product is useless, as well as the other compounded minerals.

Calcium Citrate

Calcium Citrate is a chelated mineral. It is basically calcium wrapped with a covering derived from citric acid. Calcium citrate is 21% calcium. Because of the chelation it is better absorbed than calcium carbonate.

Calcium Lactate

Calcium Lactate is 14% calcium. About 10% of that is usable. It is the calcium found in dairy products. Infants and small children are able to digest lactose (milk sugar); adults cannot. When lactate remains undigested, the complex calcium lactate molecule does not get broken apart in the body. It remains in large molecules, most of them too big to enter the body's cells.

Calcium Gluconate

Calcium Gluconate is calcium combined with glucose or blood sugar. This form of calcium is superior to calcium lactate but it is only 9.3% calcium.

Our Coral Calcium

Our Coral Calcium is elemental, which means the minerals in Coral Calcium have been broken down to their pure elemental form and are not compounded. They are also water soluble. These are single molecules small enough to easily enter our cells without the digestion process. They go right from the upper stomach into the bloodstream where they are available for immediate use. Our water-soluble Coral Calcium is 100% usable at the cellular level, where it is needed. Remember, there is a big difference between being absorbable and being absorbable at the cellular level. That's what seperates us from the closest competition. Our coral calcium has been broken down into incredibly small angstrom size molecules. This means they are so small they actually fit inside the water molecules. They are encapsulated by the purified water and are in the exact form your body needs in order to enter your cells. Water Soluble Coral Calcium is a clear liquid. It looks and tastes like spring water. One ounce (2 tablespoons) of this Water Soluble Coral Calcium is the equivalent of 1,250 milligrams of usable calcium carbonate.

Mineral Forms

Let’s define some mineral forms. It is the nature of minerals to magnetize. Minerals in compound form are larger than cells.

Colloidal Minerals

These are minerals small enough to be suspended in liquid. Some are compound, some are elemental. These molecules tend to group together into clusters becoming quite large compared to the size of a cell.

Ionic Minerals

These are generally elemental in nature, however, this type of mineral forms a long chain that is attached to a water molecule but not encapsulated.

Pure Minerals

Compared to ionic, the organic mineral is like a single boxcar of a train and the ionic mineral is like the entire train…engine, boxcars, caboose and all!

Elemental Minerals

Elemental, organic is the preferred form for mineral supplements. They are fully water-soluble, small enough to enter cells and are instantly absorbed. University studies show that this type of mineral is absorbed within 30-45 seconds after swallowing. They do not need to go through the digestive tract. And here’s the bonus… if we satisfy our cells with minerals that are absorbable, our bodies tend to release the larger molecules which it no longer needs. Over time, comfort levels improve as unwanted mineral deposits gradually disappear.
Pure water-soluble Minerals! Why would you settle for anything less?
