Liquid Coral Calcium – More Health Benefits
Sunday, 4. October 2009 23:01
Yes it does. In the past, calcium supplements were available only in the tablet form. But recently liquid coral calcium has been introduced to the market which makes use of 100% pure coral calcium obtained from fossilized coral reefs above sea level in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Coral calcium has many benefits in terms of bone health and prevention of many diseases. It has been found that it helps in fighting against depression and pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) in women. It also has an important role to play in the context of weight loss. Liquid coral calcium is easier to digest and can be used by children as well as adults and elderly people who find it difficult to consume pills on a regular basis.
Try to look for coral calcium supplements (either in the tablet form or in liquid form) made from Okinawan coral calcium which is obtained from the island of Okinawa in Japan. It has been discovered that Japanese enjoy a healthy long life mainly due to drinking this water that flows over coral reefs and makes coral calcium an important part of it.
Liquid coral calcium is composed of calcium carbonate or limestone. Normally a dosage of 1000 mg daily is recommended by doctors. Coral calcium is best absorbed when it is taken after meals. It reduces acidity and helps in proper digestion of food. As a result it also acts as an active substance in weight loss programs.
Usually 2 tablespoons of liquid coral calcium are sufficient for a day’s needs. However, you may want to increase or decrease the dosage depending on your bone health and other conditions. If you are not sure about your dosage requirements or DRA, ask a health specialist before starting the course of calcium supplements.
Pregnant women are advised to intake maximum calcium but at the same time try to exercise on a regular basis for its proper absorption. If side effects like headaches, nausea, constipation, diarrhea or stomach cramps occur, consult a doctor or stop taking calcium supplements at once.
Coral calcium supplements available out there also contain magnesium, iron, zinc, vitamin C, D and K2 in small quantities. These minerals and vitamins are equally important for proper growth and development of muscles and bones and should be consumed on a regular basis to prevent their deficiency and associated negative effects.
