What is Coral Calcium?
Coral Calcium is a
dietary supplement that comes from sea coral. Coral is
a living organism
that contains high concentrations of calcium, magnesium
and numerous other minerals. Supplements
are actually made from dead coral that has washed up
on shore. All coral calcium is fully processed and treated
and
is safe to consume.
What is a mineral?
Webster
defines minerals as solid, crystalline substances (diamond,
copper, quartz, etc.) not of animal or vegetable origin.
Minerals for nutritional purposes cannot be synthesized
by the body and as the definition states - they are
not of animal or vegetable origin. We don't get
minerals from our diet and must therefore rely on supplements
or foods fortified with minerals.
The fact that
coral calcium has 74 minerals may be a primary reason
for some health benefits noticed while taking the supplement.
What are Fossilized Stony
Coral Minerals?
Fossilized
Stony Coral Minerals is a very accurate name. The coral
is fossilized, stony
in nature and has 74 different minerals in it. For
some scientists there is debate over when something
is in fossilized
form, so they prefer the term "Stony Coral Minerals." Then
scientists starting taking issue with the word "stony".
Stony Coral Minerals does not explain that the coral
comes from the sea - so some like to call it "Marine
Coral Minerals." The
important thing to remember is that
each of these terms are just
another way to say coral calcium.
What
does Okinawa, Japan have to do with Coral Calcium?
Okinawa
is a chain of islands in Japan. The Okinawa islands
and the sea that surrounds them are rich in
coral deposits. Almost all coral calcium sold on the
market comes from Okinawa.
What
is Sango Coral?
Sango
Coral is just another name for coral that comes from
Okinawa, Japan.
What is Ionized Coral?
Minerals
that are ionized (have a positive charge) tend to be
easier for us humans to absorb into our
bloodstream. So, with ionized coral calcium it is easier
for the body to absorb the calcium than let's say the
calcium in milk.
 What is a mineral wheel?
Here
is a picture of a simplified mineral wheel. What a mineral
wheel shows is that balance between minerals is of critical
importance.
A line between two minerals with arrow
on it shows a direct relationship
between the minerals. For example, you see that Phosphorus
(P) and Calcium (Ca) have a line with arrows going
in both directions. This indicates that the ratio
of P to Ca is important for the body to be able to utilize
each mineral. The two minerals must be correctly balanced
to achieve the maximum effect on the body.
What are pH levels and Alkaline Balance?
Acidity and alkalinity are measured by a logarithm
scale scale known as pH (potential hydrogen) which
ranges from 0 - 14. The pH of any solution is the measure
of its hydrogen-ion concentration. The higher the pH
reading, the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid
is. The lower the pH reading, the more acidic and oxygen
deprived the fluid is. Our body, mostly made up of
water, can have either acid or alkaline properties
which are measured by this graduated scale called pH.
A pH value of 1.0 to 6.9 is considered acidic. A pH
of 7.0 is considered neutral. Finally, a pH of 7.1
to 14.0 is alkaline. The lower the pH number, the greater
the acidity. The higher the pH number, the greater
the alkalinity.
A
lemon has a pH value of 2.1 - very acidic. On the
other hand, butter has a 6.3 pH level - still acidic,
but much less so than a lemon.
Remember, the pH scale is exponential so a change in
pH from say 7 to 6 represents a 10 fold increase in
hydrogen ions. It's important to understand
that even a small change in pH level represents a
large shift
in the alkaline balance. When
the body is right around a 7.4 pH it is said to be
in Alkaline balance where it operates most efficiently.
Who is Robert Barefoot?
Bob
Barefoot is not a Medical Doctor, he is a chemist. He
has spent 30 years researching minerals and coral
deposits.
Why
are the vitamins in Corazyme™ so important?
Vitamin D, vitamin K, and Ester C brand vitamin C,
are all necessary components for the proper absorption,
and your body's retention of the nutrients found
in marine coral.
What
is ZYMITOL and what role does it play in the
Corazyme Formula?
Zymitol
was designed to ease the symptoms of aging while
balancing your body’s normal processes. Uniquely
it helps to promote better absorption of coral. Zymitol™ is
a broad spectrum enzyme formulation with important
additions like, MSM, alpha lipoic
acid, magnesium, and rutin, and is available
as an ingredient
in Corazyme or as a standalone product. For more ingredient
