Olympian Labs: Coral Calcium

Our Coral Calcium comes from the Sango Reefs around Okinawa, Japan. We do not disturb the delicate reef environment but instead only harvest coral that has broken off from the natural action of the tides and waves. These granules are then carefully mined, pulverized and processed into capsules. The Sango Coral Reefs are unique and aren't found anywhere else in the world. Of the 2,500 species of coral, Sango Reef coral is the only coral with unique life-giving benefits. Scientific analysis of this particular coral has shown that it is composed of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, essential marine trace minerals and many other microscopic elements essential to human life. Sango Reef coral contains the precise biological 2:1 calcium/magnesium ratio in its natural state. The composition of the Sango Reef Coral is identical to that of the human skeleton.

Coral Calcium has a natural pH range of 10-11 and has an alkalizing effect on the body, which can be of great support to those who need to offset acidity levels.* The pH range is from 0 to 14, with 7.0 being neutral. Anything above 7.0 is alkaline, anything below 7.0 is considered acidic. Body acidity is quickly becoming a focus of research. Scientists have found that healthy people have systems that are alkaline. In fact, it's felt that an imbalanced pH can negatively affect the physical health of almost all body systems. Because the modern diet is so high in acid-forming foods, most people are exposed to higher levels of acid on a daily basis.

Our bodies are truly remarkable. The trillions of cells that make up the human body are slightly acidic and must exist in the slightly alkaline environment of body fluid. As each cell performs its' special function, it secretes metabolic wastes which are acidic. These are the end products of cellular metabolism and must not be allowed to build up. The body then works to neutralize and detoxify these acids before they can build up to a level where they change the environment of the cell, and overwhelm our system. Optimum alkalinity at the cellular level may equate to optimum health.* A healthy person's pH level of their body fluids should be between 7.1 and 7.5.*
