Coral calcium from Okinawa, Japan has become one of the best selling dietary
supplements in the history of natural approaches to wellness. However, much
confusion has prevailed on the subject of coral calcium, largely due to some
past unscrupulous promotion of this valuable dietary supplement. Coral calcium
is much more than just a source of calcium. It is a holistic mineral supplement
that is rich in calcium and magnesium, but it contains more than 70 trace minerals
that may be of value for general health. In the market are many different types
of coral calcium products that are promoted in both honest and misleading ways.Healthcare
consumers must realize that the only documented benefits of coral calcium material
relate to coral calcium that is derived from the pristine waters or land masses
of the district of Okinawa in the South of Japan. If a coral calcium product
does not certify its place of origin in Okinawa, it does not qualify for any
precedent of health benefit.
Consumers must also be aware that limestone or other calcium containing material
derived from land masses in the United States, the Dominican Republic and waters
or land masses around Brazil may have been mislabeled as coral calcium from
Okinawa.
While people may not be interested in the many fights that there have been
among coral calcium suppliers, it is important to obtain the correct type of
coral calcium supplement .
Wellness Publishing Inc. was responsible for starting the major retail category
of coral calcium supplements several years ago. Wellness Publishing, Inc. has
made a commitment to collaborate and engage in extensive research and development
on coral calcium. Wellness Publishing, mc, has signed a research, development
and supply agreement with Marine Bio Co. Ltd., Japan, the producer of one of
the only form of science-backed coral calcium. Wellness Publishing will not
support exaggerated claims of benefits.
In my writings, I have attempted to separate fact from fiction concerning the
origin, characteristic and the potential benefits from coral calcium as a fascinating
mineral supplement. It is fair to say that many testimonials have emerged on
the striking health benefits of coral calcium, but testimonials do not provide
as solid evidence as well constructed clinical studies that have been reviewed
Wellness Publishing, Inc. in collaboration with Marine Bio Co. Ltd., Japan.
While there are few well constructed clinical studies on coral calcium, it
has become apparent in recent research that material produced by Marine Bio
Co. Ltd. of Japan has emerged as the premium type of coral calcium. Marine Bio
Co. has undertaken extensive research to characterize the contents of its forms
of coral calcium that are derived from below the sea level and above the sea
level.
Wellness Publishing, Inc. has undoubtedly developed the premium brand of coral
calcium, collected from the pristine environment of Okinawa. Much information
has emerged on the specifications and contents of this quality type of coral
calcium. Research from Marine Bio shows good absorption of specific forms of
their coral calcium in humans and animal experiments.
Studies in healthy volunteers indicate that the calcium and mineral profile
of coral calciumtreated water may induce relaxation. These studies used electrical
recordings of brain activity in healthy volunteers showing the relaxation in
brain waves caused by the taking of coral calcium. There have been emerging
studies on the potential anti-cancer benefits ofcoral calcium in animals, but
the evidence of this effect is not clear in humans.
Exciting research has shown a potential role for certain ratios of coral calcium
and magnesium in coral calcium supplementation in the control of hormone release,
especially in relationship to the hormone insulin. This may be one of the reasons
why some people have produced testimonials on the improvement of their blood
sugar levels while taking coral calcium, although these matters have not been
defined in controlled clinical trials.
New mineral products for the nutritional support of diabetes mellitus have
emerged from this research.
Interesting information has emerged on the ability of the calcium content of
coral calcium to help improve symptomatic heartburn and studies have shown coral
calcium supplements may help improve bone health.
In one study performed in Japan, the administration of coral calcium together
with an exercise program improved bone density. There has been a lot of work
showing the multiple benefits of calcium administration for general health and
such benefits have extended to studies where calcium supplementation could play
a role in lowering blood
cholesterol, lowering blood pressure to a small degree and even assisting with
weight control. While these benefits are not necessarily restricted to the use
of coral calcium alone, testimonials concerning such benefits have emerged,
but controlled clinical studies are awaited to confirm these benefits.
There have been a number of suggestions concerning how coral calcium may exert
a health benefit, but its wellness promoting actions remain underexplored. The
real issue in the potential benefits of coral calcium as a dietary supplement
rests in its quality in supplying a holistic micro-mineral profile, as well
as its contents of calcium and magnesium to a variable degree.
Coral calcium supplements must conform to the regulations concerning their
heavy metal content. In this regard, Wellness Publishing has committed itself
to use only material collected and processed in Okinawa, Japan. Okinawa is the
world leader in coral calcium research and production.
The supplement coral calcium is here to stay with its multiple potential health
benefits and it is a shame that this category has been hurt by unscrupulous
promotion in the past. Coral calcium has a "new lease on life" to
support multiple body structures and functions, given the emerging research
and good customer satisfaction.
