Why
do your capsules contain only 230 mg of calcium, compared to other kinds with
1000+ mg?
Don’t be misled by the numbers. It’s not how many milligrams you
swallow, but how much actually reaches your cells via your blood stream. For
example, if you take a calcium supplement containing 1000 mg of calcium (and
IF your digestive system is working very well) you will likely absorb approx:
1 to 10% – netting you about 100 mg of calcium in your bloodstream. If
you are elderly, you will only absorb about 2 or 3%, giving you 20 or 30 mgs.
The rest is waste.
In contrast, if you take 3 Coral Calcium in a day, at any
age, you are going to greater than 90%, or over 690 mgs. Bottom line –
by taking coral, you get many times more calcium into your system, regardless
of your digestive capabilities. (Back)
How much calcium can be absorbed
in a day?
The average human can absorb approximately 800 mg/day of
calcium, so Coral Calcium provides adequate supplementation to the calcium found
in most people's diet — with the added all-in-one bonus of all of the
other minerals needed by the body. (Back)
How
quickly does HerbaCoral coral calcium reach the bloodstream, compared to most other
calcium supplements?
HerbaCoral coral calcium absorbs right into the blood stream
in 15 minutes, compared to about 20 hours for other types. Why? Because: 1)
Coral calcium is ionized – which means it has a positive charge that attracts
it to the negatively charged wall of the large intestine (where food absorption
takes place). 2) Coral calcium particles are about 1000 times smaller than most
calcium chelates and colloids. (Back)
400 IU of vitamin D is
the RDA in the USA. You have that in each capsule. Why does HerbaCoral coral calcium contain
so much vitamin D?
Up to 10,000 IU of vitamin D is produced by the average
human body when exposed to sunlight on skin for 8 hours. But most of us don’t
spend full days in the sun. Vitamin D works together with calcium to produce
health benefits too numerous to mention. (Back)
Is vitamin D toxic in these
quantities?
Rumors that vitamin D can be toxic are common, probably
stemming from the toxic effects of residue due to extraction processes used
in the early 1900's. There is a very large body of scientific evidence to prove
that vitamin D is safe even in large quantities. The first major study on Vitamin
D toxicity was conducted at the University of Illinois in 1937 and published
in the Annuals of Internal Medicine. It was a 9-year study involving 773 people
and 64 dogs. They concluded that "both human subjects and dogs generally
survive the administration of 20,000 IU per KG (14,545,000 IU for a 160 lb man)
per day for indefinite periods without intoxification". Numerous subsequent
studies have confirmed that vitamin D is both safe and beneficial in large quantities.
However, if you have concerns about the quantity of vitamin D you may be consuming,
we recommend you seek the advice of your medical professional. (Back)
How does body fluid pH affect
one's health?
It is well known that the body fluids of healthy people
tend to be more alkaline (high pH), and the body fluids of sick or diseased
people are acidic ( low pH). Healthy blood, spinal fluid and saliva are normally
at a pH of 7.4. This alkaline state is necessary for cell growth, cell function
and cell repair. It has been proven that cancer cannot grow in an alkaline solution
because it holds oxygen at a high level (Cause and Prevention of Cancer, Biochem
Zeits, 152: 514-520). (Back)
Does Coral Calcium raise body
fluid pH?
Yes, there is a direct correlation between calcium ion
levels and pH. You can easily test body fluid pH (and health) by putting saliva
on litmus paper. Most children will register a healthy 7.5. Over 50% of adults
will register an unhealthy pH of 6.5 or lower, reflecting calcium deficiency.
