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.

Friday, 2. October 2009 1:10

Calcium glycinate like other compounds is used in making good-quality and effective calcium supplements. In addition to assisting in overcoming calcium deficiency in the body, there are some other health benefits of calcium glycinate as well. Let’s explore what these benefits are.

First of all, people who have used calcium glycinate supplements have reported back a significant improvement in their bone health. It is a compound which facilitates calcium absorption along with vitamin D and phosphorus, and therefore calcium deficient people are at a reduced risk of developing kidney stones and colon cancer.

One of the health benefits if calcium glycinate is that it is many times more soluble in water than other calcium salts. Hence its bioavailability rate is nearly as good as calcium carbonate or coral calcium. The tablets made with calcium glycinate are easily digested, and therefore can be used by people of all ages. Doctors normally recommend taking one tablet after each meal everyday for the treatment and prevention of calcium deficiency and the conditions associated with it.

Some other health benefits of calcium glycinate include better performance of adrenal glands, prevention of many types of cancers, prevention of bone disease and assistance in weight loss. People who have used these supplements have also reported back a slight decline in their blood pressure, and therefore calcium glycinate can also be used by people who have high blood pressure, hypertension and obesity.

With a wide range of calcium supplements now available online for purchase, it is recommended that you do a little research of your own before buying a particular brand. Although many of these supplements have found to be harmless and have absolutely no side effects of their own, it’s always better to be on the safe side.

Calcium citrate, calcium carbonate, coral calcium harvested from the island of Okinawa in Japan, calcium glycinate, calcium phosphate and calcium orotate are all reliable salts from which calcium supplements are being made. Before starting the course of a supplement product, carefully read the instructions on the bottle and also note down all the ingredients and find out about their effectiveness.

It’s always good to consult a doctor before consuming calcium or any other mineral tablets. Pregnant and lactating women are advised to obtain maximum of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin D, vitamin E and all other nutrients from diet and if they feel the need to try dietary supplements they should ask their doctor first.

Coral Calcium : Promoting Life’s Healing Properties

Thursday, 24. September 2009 22:38

Coral calcium is the most highly dissolvable and easily assimilated forms of calcium (long know to be extremely important in bone health) naturally occurring in the realm of the planet. Long used by alternative and holistic healthcare professionals and practitioners such as chiropractors, naturopaths and acupuncturists, coral calcium is now regarded as an essential supplement to healthful and natural living.

In this day and age of fast-paced living, it is increasingly important to care for the only body we will ever have. We are a highly complicated system of checks and balances and the only way that we can perform at our highest level of efficiency is to make sure that all of our biomechanics are maintained and optimized. Coral calcium helps regulate the alkalinity of our bodies assuring that cell health is maintained by controlling the acidity that we introduce into ourselves by being exposed to environmental and consumed pollutants. By maintaining an alkaline environment in our bodies, we are ensuring continued health and longevity of our tissues, both muscular and skeletal.

Long used in Japanese culture to promote health and longevity, coral calcium is made from surface coral which means that no living coral is endangered in the making of this healthy supplement. We are all becoming increasingly concerned with not only the health of our own bodies, but with the general health of the planet, especially marine life. Not only does coral calcium help promote our own health, it in no way harms marine life as it is harvested from nonliving, above ground coral.

From the time we start walking, we assault our bodies with our physical activities, poor diets, atmospheric pollutants, daily stresses and general abuse. Coral calcium helps to reverse these damages by promoting removal of waste and harmful toxins from the body. By providing highly absorbable sources of calcium and other important minerals, coral calcium helps the body restore itself to optimal levels of health and happiness.

Bone strength and density is huge concern for most women and an ever increasing number of men. The foods we eat, the beverages that we eat and the lifestyles that we lead often sap our bodies of the minerals that we need to support our ever increasing frames. Osteoporosis is an alarming epidemic and is something that we all need to be aware of. Coral Calcium is composed of the a very similar structure and combination of minerals that our own bone structure is made up of. Thus it promotes healing and strength of the very frame of our bodies the we have spent our lives breaking down.

The best part of coral calcium is that it is 100% natural and doesn’t contain any of the scary synthetic additives that many supplements contain that got us into our weakened position in the first place. By following the advice of many holistic healers and supporting your diet with coral calcium, you are helping your body heal itself with the very minerals that it is made up of. An excellent source of calcium and magnesium, coral calcium is proving to be an additional supplement to a healthy diet.
