Not all calcium is equal. Calcium from coral is better absorbed in the intestine than calcium from other sources. This is thought to be due to the 2:1 calcium:magnesium ratio that occurs naturally in coral. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10683804/).
Research suggests that benefits of ABOVE SEA coral calcium include:
• Improves bone health and bone density• Fortifies tooth enamel
• Prevents against osteoporosis• Corrects calcium deficiency
• Enhances circulatory health
• Lowers blood pressure
• Reduces risk of heart disease
• Promotes digestive health
• Encourages weight loss
Although formed hundreds or thousands of years ago, above sea coral is by no means a dead mineral. It is replete with life. Most coral minerals are “harvested” – scraped or dredged – from accumulated debris found in and around living coral reefs. This harvesting process is destructive to the reefs, eliminating the places juvenile coral and other marine organisms use as shelter as they grow.
Our coral calcium is sustainably harvested from ancient Caribbean above-sea mines, which have been thrust upward, to form coral islands. These regions were caused by geological changes that took place many years ago. This coral has been purified by centuries of exposure to the sun’s UV and has not been affected by underwater pollution.
Our coral calcium provides the most bioavailable calcium, plus 73 other essential minerals. The following are just a few of the trace minerals that should be included in your pets daily diet, and can be obtained through organic food, water and all natural mineral supplements, such as our coral mineral supplements.
Boron
These trace minerals provide metabolic benefits in the body. Though its exact role in the body is relatively unknown, recent experimental studies have show that benefits of trace amounts of boron may be essential for energy utilization and the creation and preservation of bone.
Chromium
Trace mineral research has shown that chromium is very important when it comes to a body’s carbohydrate metabolism. If your pet has a chromium deficiency, they may not have adequate blood glucose, which can result in a higher chance of heart disease and diabetes.
Copper
You can’t go wrong with copper. Much like iron, your pet needs copper in order to oxidize vitamin C, which is essential to life. Furthermore, copper trace minerals benefits your pet’s body with iron in the production of functional red blood cells.
Manganese
A natural muscle builder, Manganese trace minerals benefits the bones and ligaments by strengthening them. It is usually found in the bone, liver, kidneys, heart, pituitary gland, pancreas, spleen, and intestines.
