Discover The
Benefits of 
Coral Calcium

Our bones are becoming more and more dense, Why?

Osteoporosis should be a major concern of all women as they age.

The way foods are processed and chemically altered, the natural ingredients which are required in order for calcium to actually get into our body to be effective and utilize it, are missing.

High protein diets also contribute to this by taking calcium out of the body. 

So what do you do to solve this health problem?

Take a Calcium supplement!

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body.

Calcium is not only essential for proper development of bones and teeth
but it's also actively involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions that aid 
in energy production, nerve and muscle function.

Even though most people assume they are getting enough Calcium, a survey taken by the USDA of Food Intake By Individuals has found that 90% of women, 88% of teenage girls, 73% of adult men and 68% of teenage boys are not getting enough Calcium from their diets.

We know that milk is an ideal source of Calcium.  But it really isn't since the pasteurization process destroys a critical enzyme needed to assimilate milk Calcium plus the hormone in milk doesn't help matters.

Our body doesn't produce Calcium on it's own and the only way to replenish Calcium in our body is from outside sources, mainly our diet.

With age and a low calcium diet, the body gets some of the calcium needed by slowly breaking down bone material and with excessive loss of this bone material and minerals. When this happens, the result is osteoporosis, a condition that is affecting over 20 million people in North America.

It seems to be more prevalent among women mainly because of the contributing factors that osteoporosis is caused by such as post-menopause, premature menopause, family history, short stature and small bones, leanness, low calcium intake and inactivity.

Your risk of bone loss and fractures caused by osteoporosis is reduced with calcium supplementation.

This brings us to what to look for when buying a calcium supplement

Just taking Calcium alone is only part of the solution.  You must take the proper Calcium supplement formula.

A Must in order for a Calcium product to be beneficial to your goal is

Magnesium

When taking a Calcium supplement, it is critical that you also take it with magnesium.  The only way calcium can be absorbed into your bloodstream is if magnesium is present.  Also it must be in an acidic environment.  This is why Calcium, in tablet form along with an antacid, will not be absorbed into your system to give you optimal results. 

Vitamin D

You need normal levels of vitamin D to absorb calcium.  Vitamin D is often referred to as the "sunshine vitamin" because it is manufactured by the body after being exposed to the sun.  Ten to fifteen minutes of sunshine three times a week is good enough to produce the body's requirement of vitamin D.  If you're without daily sunlight exposure, you can get vitamin D in food or supplements.  This is why it is important to make sure when taking a calcium supplement it should contain vitamin D

By not getting enough calcium into your system your body will actually extract calcium from your bones for other bodily needs therefore damaging your bones.

So when looking for a Calcium product, to insure the best absorption, it must be in an ionic form, combined in the right structure, and be taken with vitamin D and magnesium to make it a very effective and beneficial calcium supplement.
