Description:  Our body starts out in a balanced state, but slowly changes due to acidic and acid-producing items in our diet like soft drinks, protein, sugar, coffee and alcohol. This can create a low pH (acidic) condition called metabolic acidosis. To the detriment of basic health and well-being, the contemporary Western diet leads to chronic, low-level acidosis.1

Bones are the body's storehouse of calcium and other minerals. Our body uses calcium and other buffering minerals to neutralize excess acids. As our body draws calcium and other minerals from bones to deal with the aicd, bone tissue becomes depleted. This increases the risk of osteoporosis. The solution is to "alkalize" the diet (to neutralize the acid), and one way to accomplish this is to use alkalizing nutritional supplements, such as bioavailable, ionized minerals.1

Calcium is essential to energy production, cellular maintenance, and heart function. It is also essential to our immune system and its ability to respond. In addition, it is central to the production of human growth hormone, indicating that calcium deficiency may lead to accelerated aging.

The National Osteoporosis Foundation reports osteoporosis and low bone mass are currently estimated to be a major public health threat for 55% of U.S. women and men aged 50 and older, indicating that calcium deficiency is widespread.

Marine coral from Okinawa, Japan is a natural source of calcium, magnesium and numerous trace minerals and elements. Trace mineral supplementation is important because the trace mineral content of our food has declined as soil has become depleted over many years of farming.2 Marine coral's porosity helps it dissolve quickly, so 100% dissolves, ionizes and becomes bioavailable in stomach acid.

Our high-grade marine coral has a natural 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, the optimal balance for calcium's absorption in the body. Coral rock mined on land has had most of the natural magnesium and some of the trace minerals leached out of it over many years.

Collection of marine coral sands is carefully supervised by the Japanese government. The actual vacuum collection of coral sands takes place between one and two miles from the Okinawa reefs where the coral fragments broken off by wave action collect in ocean trenches.

Your body needs more than just calcium and CoralAdvantage is more than just a calcium supplement. Taking calcium as an isolated mineral can throw the other minerals out of balance, and bones are made of more than just calcium, mineral and trace mineral supplement with bioavailable organic (citrate, chelate and plant source) forms of nine essential minerals.
