CORAL CALCIUM AND DEPLETION OF MINERALS IN THE UNITED STATES

Coral calcium is a complex holistic mixture of elements and vital minerals that comes from nature.

There are two types of coral calcium. Land-based coral, which has been deposited on land and below sea coral. The differences between the two are the land-based coral composition contains a higher concentration of calcium, but has lower magnesium. The below-sea coral composition has a lower concentration of calcium, but more magnesium. The content of below-sea coral might be close to a 2:1 balance. 2:1 ratio for calcium to magnesium is the ideal intake for the human diet. New Life contains above the sea coral.

Above Sea Coral

The reefs of Okinawa, Japan have an abundance of various minerals from underwater volcanic material. The waters are clean and filled with all substances that sustain life.

Okinawans, the people who live in this area of Japan, have longevity that is very striking.

Approximately 400 people in Okinawa in the later years of the 1990’s were recorded to live beyond their 100^th birthday. Assumptions of their longevity have been linked to living a healthier lifestyle due to the abundance of minerals in their region.

Vitamins: Organic, essential nutrients required in small amounts by the body for health.

Minerals: Inorganic elements; some minerals are essential nutrients required in small amounts. Your body’s cells depend on minerals for proper function and structure. All enzyme activities involve minerals. Minerals are essential for the proper use of other nutrients and vitamins.

Essential minerals are chemical elements that are required by organisms for survival or at least for health. Essential major minerals include magnesium, sodium, calcium, chloride, and potassium. Furthermore, there are many more essential trace minerals. Trace minerals are necessary and they are required in small quantities in the diet. Nerve function, nerve cell building, and nerve stability depend upon trace minerals.

Human beings must maintain their proper chemical balance, the level at which each mineral in the body has an effect on other minerals. Furthermore, if one mineral is out of balance, all minerals are affected. If the level is not corrected, it can start a chain reaction of imbalances that may lead to illness. To obtain optimum health, our bodies need approximately 95 nutrients on a daily basis. These 95 nutrients are broken down to 65 minerals and 30 vitamins, amino acids, and fatty acids.

Depletion of our soils has been documented since 1936.

In 1936, the U.S. Senate issued a document #264, pertaining to soil mineral depletion. Document 264 states 99% of the American people are deficient in minerals and a marked deficiency in any one of the more important minerals actually results in disease.

In 2005, nature’s cycle occurred rarely in the United States. Modern crops are frequently grown in depleted soils. Once the crop is harvested, it gets stripped of essential vitamins and minerals in the time that it takes to transport it to the supermarket. Studies have shown that our soil is being depleted and other concerns such as insecticides, chemical fertilizers, and the pollutants in our environment, have been a dilemma in the United States. In order to have optimal nerve function, nerve cell building, and nerve stability, mineral supplementing is extremely important in our 21^st century.

Deficiency of minerals (i.e. magnesium) has been linked to mental and central nervous system disorders.

Calcium is one of the hardest minerals for the body to absorb. The proposed major benefit of coral calcium might be in the bioavailability of the coral. Bioavailability means the degree to which the amount of an ingested nutrient is absorbed and is available to the body.
