Which Coral Calcium is Best?
Above Sea Coral (Fossilized) vs. Marine Coral

There are basically two sources of coral used in coral calcium supplements.

1. Under the Sea Coral - Below Sea, Marine Grade -- Coral taken from the ocean's floor.
2. Above Sea Coral - Above Sea, Land, Fossilized Grade -- Coral mined from above the sea.

Coral Calcium Comparison
Above Sea Coral  vs. Marine Coral

Comparison	Above Sea Coral - Fossilized	Marine Coral - Below Sea
Purity	Above Average	Average
Coral Collection Process	Completely Safe	Harms Wildlife
Supported By	Biologists, Professors & Doctors	A few researchers
Has to be Heat-treated *	Not necessary	Must be heat treated
Altered molecular structure *	non-issue	some concern - heat treated
Toxic levels of heavy metals	non-issue	There is some concern
Tested for Safety	Certified for Safety	Information not disclosed
Overall Rating	98 out of 100	81 out of 100

*Marine coral must be heat treated at over 1000 degrees. According to Professor Yoshino Yamauchi of the Aragonite Institute of Japan, "The ionization process of the aragonite fossil Coral is 6 times greater than that of calcite.  In layman's terms, the above-sea coral is about 6 times more bio-available than heat treated varieties. Above Sea coral calcium is also much greater in electrical conductivity... it is capable of entering into an immediate chemical reaction whenever it is required by the body." - Meaning Above Sea ( Fossilized ) Coral can be absorbed much easier.

Also, fossilized coral calcium has a much higher content of naturally occurring trace minerals.  This is most likely due to the collection process.  Fossilized coral calcium is collected from mines in a pure form, whereas marine coral calcium is vacuumed from the ocean floor along with sand and plants - This is why it is commonly referred to as coral sand.

Conclusion... I favor fossilized coral for reasons noted above.  Some people also favor the fossilized coral on ethical grounds - because the below sea vacuuming process can be damaging to the coral environment.  The conclusion is this - to receive optimum safety,  optimum nutrition, optimum effectiveness, and optimum balance; use Fossilized  Coral.

3. 1,435 mg capsules, 90 ct bottle.  Three capsules per day will make one bottle a month supply.

4. Suggested Use:  One to three capsules, three times daily after meals, or as directed by your physician. Check your ph to determine your personal daily dosage. As your pH stabilizes at 7.4, you can hopfully reduce your maintainance dosage if you started out acidic. Order urine pH test strips here http://www.blpublications.com/html/supplements.html

5. 100% Natural

6. This is a non-constipating calcium-mineral-balanced supplement.

Note: Binders, fillers and flow agents like magnesium stearate, silica or cellulose may interfere with nutrient absorption.  Tablet form of coral calcium is not absorbable due to binding agents and fillers. Capsule form of coral calcium are much better utilized by humans.

As the bio-available calcium and other alkalizing minerals get into the blood and cells the body pH begins to return to the normal slightly alkaline level (7.4).  Most disease thrives in an acidic environment. Maintaining a healthy blood pH ( 7.4) may help in the recovery from a degenerative disease and equality important, sickness / disease has difficulty ever getting started in an alkaline terrain.

For the  life of the flesh is in the blood:  Leviticus  17:11

Dr. Otto Warburg established long ago in his Nobel prize winning studies that cancer cannot grow in an alkaline environment because there is too much oxygen. Acidity drives oxygen out providing an environment in which cancer can grow. The best way to raise body pH is making sure that adequate minerals, particularly Calcium are present. In general, green vegetables are high in calcium. Chlorella, Cucumbers, kale, broccoli, and collard greens are good sources. Drink high pH calcium-rich spring or mineral water. Fruits, vegetables and supplementation are key. 

Your pH  level Suggestions to Increase Your pH below 6.0 3 capsule, 3 times daily 6.0 - 6.5 2 capsule, 3 times daily 7.0 or higher 1 capsule, 3 times daily

Best Absorption: Your body absorbs calcium less efficiently as your intake increases, therefore it is best to take calcium and minerals in small doses throughout the day. This is also why it is recommended to drink quality water with ionic coral calcium minerals added through out the day, as opposed to all at once. PS... You cannot take too much fossilized coral calcium because whatever your body doesn't use, it passes.
