Nature is endowed with healing characteristics. Nature is the true healer and not anything else. It is the medicine. One of the ocean’s many treasures is the coral. It is the greatest example of biodiversity and represents the crucial link in the marine food chain. Corals are the richest natural sources of calcium – and that is why they are being used in the food and drugs industry more than ever before. However, two types of corals are available. One is the fossilized coral that is a natural formation and is a biodiversity hotspot. And the other is the natural coral grown for industrial purposes. The best natural Coral comes from Okinawa, Japan. Using fossilized corals is currently banned in nearly all countries owing to their biodiversity value.
And in any case, the fossilized corals contain a lot of other unwanted minerals too – that are unfit for human consumption. Calcium is the single most important mineral in our body that controls all the functions of almost all other minerals, salts, vitamins, and hormones. The functionality of such minerals largely depends on the level of calcium in the body.
If we had to choose only milk (or dairy products) for our daily requirement of calcium, the total amount to be taken would be enormous. However, thankfully we don’t have to deal with such outrage; we can choose to supplement our food with calcium from other sources of which, the coral source is the most important. Coral calcium is chemically a compound called calcium carbonate. It is not ‘chalk’, though. For obvious reasons, the predecessors of the coral reefs could be the limestone caves from where the calcium carbonate comes.
Interestingly, it is also widely believed, that even the waters of the coral reef off the coast in the same place are of medicinal value and play a vital role in maintaining their longevity and healthy life. They attribute their long life to the corals as well as the ‘great water’ around the place where these are grown. Slowly, industries began to show interest in the same, and thus emerged pharmaceutical industries and giants who became pioneers in manufacturing external calcium supplements from corals. Amazingly, calcium from corals seems to work more than calcium supplements from any other source.
