Marine Bed Semi-Fossil Coral vs. Above Water Fossilized Coral

Marine Bed Semi-Fossil Coral Calcium and the Quality

The biggest benefits to both marine bed coral calcium and above water coral calcium are: Increased pH, ORP or antioxidant potential, and the perfect balance of minerals. The ionic minerals in marine bed coral are from an organic source. Most people are surprised to learn that the coral obtains the ionic minerals from its symbiosis with zooxanthellae. The coral and algae live together in a mutually beneficial relationship which provides the coral with the nutrients needed in order to survive in the slow moving waters. All of this information can be viewed in the "Learn about the general benefits of coral calcium." section of this site. In that section you will learn that the sachet or tea bag form of coral calcium will give you the best pH and ORP values. The pH will usually be around 11.5 and the ORP will be around -300. Sachet coral calcium is a marine bed coral. This same coral can be crushed and sold as CCP in a 15 to 1 ratio of Ca to Mg. The other marine bed coral calcium is sold as Sango Mineral Powder (SMP) in a 2 to 1 ratio of Ca to Mg. The SMP coral will give a pH reading of around 10.0 and ORP reading around -120 as a stand alone product. These readings will vary when other ingredients are added. These readings are only achieved when adding the product to water. These great pH readings have to do the large amounts of oxides present in the marine coral calcium which is explained in more detail in the "Learn about the differences in the methods of using coral calcium." section. As you can tell from the readings above, the sachet coral calcium contains much more ionized oxide molecules than does the SMP. We feel that marine bed coral calcium is the highest quality coral calcium available. Please view the "Above Water Fossilized Coral Calcium and the Quality" section for more information on why marine bed coral is far superior.

The total supplier of marine bed coral calcium is Marine Bio Co., Ltd. in Okinawa, JP. If the coral calcium you purchase is from another area of the world then it's not the real patented coral calcium and consumption could be dangerous. Marine Bio coral calcium is the only patented coral calcium. It's patents come from its cleansing process which includes a water wash and heating to 200ºC to purify the coral of harmful heavy metals and salts. It is because of this process that the Marine Bio coral calcium is the only coral calcium that may be sold for human consumption in Japan. We have seen no evidence that above water coral calcium is approved for human consumption in Japan. It is exported in large drums as limestone and is then made into a supplement once it's in the US. Marine bed coral calcium is processed in Japan under strict regulations that help to ensure quality and is shipped to the US as a calcium supplement.

If you leave this site and purchase a coral calcium product then make sure of two things to ensure your safety:
1.) The product is marine bed or marine grade coral calcium.
2.) It comes from Marine Bio Co., Ltd. in Okinawa, JP and that no other forms of minerals have been added.
The biggest reasons that we recommend marine bed coral is: We know 100% that it is safe and approved for human consumption by the Japanese government and has almost a ten year track record of results here in the United States.
