Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human
body. Of the two to three pounds of calcium contained in
the average body, 99% is located in the bones and teeth.
An adequate daily intake of calcium is not only needed to
form healthy bones and teeth, but also in preventing colon
and rectal cancers, high blood pressure, and even preventing
premenstrual syndrome. Calcium also plays an important role
in weight loss, muscular contractions, vision, assisting
with regulating heartbeat, transmitting nerve impulses, blood
clotting, and helping to maintain the walls of blood vessels.
History of Coral Calcium
The first mention of the medicinal use of coral is found
in Indian Ayurvetic Medicine, dating back some 5,000 years.
Coral was first introduced as medicine to the Western World
by the 9th century Arab expansion into Europe. The Persian
philosopher Al-Kindi included coral in the "Medical Formulary" in
830 A.D. Proof of western coral usage can be seen in the
world's oldest pharmacy established in 1685, and is still
in existence and preserved as a museum in Panaranda de Duero
in northern Spain. The museum displays a container of ground
up coral with the inscription, “The blond coral is the only
coral used for medicine” and further states that the coral
has a beneficial effect upon the heart and elevates the mood
of the person taking it. According to legend, coral has remained
in use in Okinawa for over 500 years. Many say that the coral
minerals are the reason for the indisputable longevity of
the Okinawan people. Japanese population studies show that
Okinawa has the highest incidence of people 100 years of
age or over. These Okinawan Centurions are active and productive
senior citizens. Aside from coral calcium consumption, Okinawans
eat a low-calorie, mostly plant-based diet with plenty of
fish and soy foods. They also enjoy strong social and community
support, and are involved in regular and life-long physical
activity. Ascribing longevity to coral calcium has not yet
been scientifically proven, however, voluminous testimonials
as to the miraculous therapeutic benefits of Okinawa coral
calcium beg for further scientific studies. Recent infomercials
appear to make exaggerated claims about the health benefits
of coral. It is not really necessary to exaggerate, since
coral calcium is a fabulous product. It may not be the cure
for all ailments, but it certainly has significant health
benefits.
