FAQ's

Q. What is the difference between "marine grade" and "above sea" coral calcium?

A. The marine grade coral calcium is generally considered to be a little higher quality due to its 2:1 calcium to magnesium content. Also, the mining and processing costs are higher than above sea coral. Above sea coral does not have the same amount of magnesium as marine grade coral, therefore, the manufacturers will add magnesium to the final product. Other than calcium and magnesium, the mineral content of both types of coral calcium are very similar.

Q. Do you sell "marine grade" or "above sea" coral calcium?

A. We actually sell both types of coral calcium so that the consumer can have the choice of which supplement they require.

Q. What is pH and does coral calcium raise the pH level?

A. pH = a positively charged hydrogen atom and refers to how acidic a solution is.
A lower number means more acidic and a higher number means it is more alkaline. A pH saliva reading of 7.5 is excellent and most children will register at this healthy reading. Most adults tend to register at a pH of 6.5 or lower which indicates a calcium deficiency. If your body's pH is not balanced, you cannot effectively assimilate vitamins, minerals and food supplements.

Q. What makes coral calcium easily absorbable?

A. Coral calcium contains magnesium. Magnesium is important in aiding calcium to be absorbed into the body. If magnesium was not present the body would not be able to absorb calcium efficiently and the beneficial qualities of calcium would be wasted.
