Product Notes:
Calcium is an important mineral which helps develop and maintain bones and teeth, but not everyone consumes enough dairy products or leafy green vegetables to keep their levels up, and not all supplements are as well-absorbed or as environmentally-friendly as they might be.
This is a type of calcium that can be absorbed and utilized most effectively, since it has high levels of calcium carbonate, and has been naturally enriched with an abundance of trace minerals which facilitate effortless absorption and optimal utilization.
Not only does it provides an alkaline form of calcium that can help support a healthy serum pH, but those trace minerals are themselves important for bone health, and for optimal enzymatic activity, as well.
NOW's Coral Calcium isn't harvested from living coral reefs or ocean creatures, but from fossilized corals and other shells which were deposited in ancient ocean beds and are now accessible above the ground in the Okinawa region of Japan.
