Coral Calcium
Most often thought of in bones and teeth, calcium performs various vital functions throughout the body. Calcium activates enzymes involved in fat and protein digestion and energy production. This important mineral is also involved in blood clotting, transmission of nerve impulses, and regulating pH.
Bone is live tissue that can be broken down and reabsorbed for use in the blood. Deficiencies will cause the body to draw more calcium from the bones, setting up a pattern that leads to osteoporosis - an epidemic leading to easily broken bones.
What is Coral Calcium?
Touted as a miracle supplement, or a fountain of youth, coral calcium is simply an excellent source of calcium and minerals (about 70 different ones), which are in an exceptionally bio-available form. NCP uses above sea coral, which, like most coral calcium, comes from the coral island Okinawa, off the coast of Japan. Stony corals help build coral islands and their protective reefs by secreting limestone, making pockets of shelter for their soft polyps to retreat into when disturbed. As a result, stony coral has an inherent basis of the complete range of minerals found in seawater.
As we age, more minerals leave our bodies than are ingested, allowing our bodies to become more acidic. Numerous diseases are associated with acidity of the blood, including Diabetes, Cancer, and many other degenerative conditions. Coral Calcium can help alkalize the body, and support every cell with the scope of minerals they need to properly function. Many studies indicate prolonged alkaline stimulus can help prevent disease.
NCP's Coral Calcium Formula is Enzyme Enhanced, and balanced with vitamins for optimum utilization. Vitamin A was included for its role in normal body growth and formation of bones and soft tissue. Vitamin A also contributes to the formation of tooth enamel and proper spacing of teeth. Bone, cartilage and collagen (present in connective tissue) all depend on Vitamin A for formation. Vitamin C is essential for growth and repair of tissue in all parts of the body. Added for its role in maintaining blood levels of calcium, Vitamin D increases absorption of calcium from food and reduces urinary calcium loss. This keeps calcium in the body, therefore sparing this vitamin from having to transfer calcium from the bone into the bloodstream. Kelp is a sea vegetable, and also a concentrated source of minerals. Adequate amounts of all the micronutrients can make a significant difference in the body's ability to metabolize calcium. Last but not least, ANTHOCYANINS have been added for their antioxidant benefits, and for supporting the circulatory system. For additional anthocyanins, complement your daily Coral Calcium supplements with Vitalase.
Two 750mg capsules provide 1000mg of daily calcium plus the added nutrients of this formulation.
