Coral calcium's

Good dietary sources of calcium include: One cup of milk, a 200 g tub of yoghurt or 200 ml of calcium-fortified soymilk provides around 300 mg calcium. Calcium-fortified milks can provide larger amounts of calcium in a smaller volume of milk - ranging from 280 mg to 400 mg per 200 ml milk. leafy green vegetables: broccoli, collards (cabbage family)... , bok choy, Chinese cabbage and spinach. One cup of cooked spinach contains 100 mg, although only five per cent of this may be absorbed. This is due to the high concentration of oxalate, a compound in spinach that reduces calcium absorption. By contrast, one cup of cooked broccoli contains about 45 mg of calcium, but the absorption from broccoli is much higher at around 50-60 per cent. Half a cup of canned salmon contains 402 mg of calcium. Fifteen almonds contain about 40 mg of calcium. One cup of calcium-fortified breakfast cereal (40 g) contains up to 200 mg of calcium. 1/2 cup of calcium-fortified orange juice (100 ml) contains up to 80 mg of calcium. two slices of bread (30 g) provides 200 mg of calcium. Coral calcium is a form of calcium carbonate, sourced from fossilized coral sources and is the most common form of calcium on the planet. Coral is formed by a small "marine invertebrate" that secretes a limey substance, that creates a hard skeleton around them(similar to that of cancellous (spongy) bone). These invertebrates get their energy and nutrients from single-cell algae that inhabit their tissues. Because algae requires sunlight in order to grow, coral tends to be found in shallow clear waters. Coral has been used as a source of supplemental calcium for centuries. Okinawa is recognized as the world's best source of coral calcium, although it also is relatively plentiful in parts of Brazil. Coral calcium differs from other forms of calcium carbonate in several important ways: created by living organisms and consisting of geometrically arranged mineral structures (an aragonite), Coral calcium is more porous and has over 1000 x the surface area of calcium ...Read More
