There are two sources of Okinawa coral calcium. Above sea coral calcium, which is mined above sea level and below sea coral calcium, which is also called "marine grade" coral calcium. Below sea coral calcium is vacuumed from the ocean bottom near the Coral reefs. Which is best, Above-Sea Coral Calcium or Below-Sea Coral Calcium?

Laboratory analysis of the two kinds shows each variety has 74 minerals and has similar quantities of the minerals. Above-Sea Coral Calcium tends to have a little higher percentage of Calcium - 35 to 38% while the below sea coral has 20 - 24% calcium.

The fossilized coral suppliers claim that theirs is in aragonite form which is more soluble than the marine variety which is heat treated and becomes a calcite form of crystal. This has been verified in a Japanese laboratory.

A little foray to Okinawa last summer unearthed another matter of concern regarding "marine" coral calcium - that is the purity of a product that involves vacuuming the ocean floor. We obtained raw marine coral product samples which have a high sand content. This is not all bad as sand is not toxic or harmful. It is just not a pure coral product. These impurities are likely the reason marine coral calcium has lower calcium content than fossilized coral. Some people also favor the fossilized form on ethical grounds - because the marine vacuuming process can be damaging to the coral environment. Although we would take "marine" coral if it were the only type available, we favor fossilized coral for reasons noted above. Both forms of Okinawa coral are long dead so much of their mineral content is depleted relative to live coral which has recently been introduced.

Live Coral Calcium

In recent years we have been introduced to a new category of coral calcium. This new coral calcium is neither above-sea coral calcium nor below sea coral calcium. In fact it is not from Okinawa. This new coral is harvested live as it washes up on the beaches of Northern Brazil. The certificates of analysis on this product show it has more than 12 times the trace mineral content of Okinawa corals (both above and below sea varieties).

This Brazilian coral calcium is the only product so far that has not had it's minerals depleted through aging in the elements since it is picked up as it washes in while still living. It is cold processed unlike Okinawa corals to retain the marine nutrients, proteins, amino acids and phyto-nutrients. We predict that this new comer will gain popularity and perhaps overtake Okinawa coral sales in time.

As a fitness and health nut for over 30 years I have some pretty strong opinions in the field of health and fitness. When it comes to supplements I have to agree with many of the other experts in the field, that natural is always better.

The problem with many synthetic vitamins is that you don't truly know what you are putting in your body, do you? Contrary to those artificially created types, natural vitamins have ONLY natural ingredients.

One major point that is a good reason for sticking with arginine pyroglutamate nutritional powder natural vitamins is the absorption factor. Your body absorbs the natural vitamins more readily because it recognizes them as nutrients. The body is hard to trick, sometimes the synthetics that are designed to fool the body are not taken in.

Some people are also adopting the practice of taking a synthetic vitamin during a meal to give better chances for being absorbed correctly. Wouldn't it be much better if you just got your daily vitamin requirement from natural sources?

There are a lot of products on the market now that say that they are 100% natural. You will be able to find some food packages that also act as natural supplements. Any supplements that are as close to nature as possible will be easier to absorb.

Many of these natural foods are very good for you and give you the nutritional requirements that your body needs such as enzymes and anti-oxidants. All of these components work together to give your body the nutrients that it needs. The only way to know for sure exactly what you will need for your body is to consult a nutritionist and have them create a regimen for you.

The best way to get started on a routine to keep your body healthy is a well balanced natural diet that focuses on foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. The natural vitamin supplements available on the market can provide your body with all the nutrients your body needs to be healthy and perform optimally. If you have some certain vitamin deficiencies you may have to take even more intense supplements.

The best course of action is to consult a nutritionist who can take a close look at your current nutritional habits and help you to create the right nutritional program just for you. Just remember that natural vitamin supplements will always be better than the synthetic version.
