Andy was in his late 30s and had snored for several years. He’s not quite sure when it started but of late snoring had being a more regular event. He probably still wouldn’t be aware of it, except it drove his wife crazy. Andy had always being active, not a football star but he liked to throw a ball around. If you asked a passerby, they wouldn’t describe Andy as overweight but Andy freely admits putting on a pound a year over past 10 years and plans to start shedding some of it sometime soon.

Every year Andy and family, his wife and two sons go camping. They always go to same camping ground every year and always get same site, or there about, near water and away from highway. Andy doesn’t believe a holiday should be hard work and family doesn’t lack for comfort with inflatable mattresses, electric cooler, color TV (just for news) and a large three room tent. Now last year shower block at Andy’s end of camp ground was under going a major renovation for two weeks of Andy’s holiday. It wasn’t a major problem; it just meant that Andy had his nightly shower at other shower block. But because Andy and his wife preferred that boys didn’t have to walk in dark they showered a couple hours earlier than normal.

“She just moved her leg and bone broke.” “Be careful because your bones are very brittle.” These statements are as common as corn flakes. The lament of many people, especially women is, “I’ve taken calcium supplements all my life, why do I have arthritis and brittle bones?” The reasons are:

Ø The kind of calcium

Ø Inadequate associated cofactors .

Is Coral Calcium better for you than other calcium supplements you find on store shelves? The answer is a qualified “yes.” These calcium compounds are difficult for body to use for optimum health. There are numerous problems.

Coral Calcium, Sea shells, chalk and most calcium compounds in nutritional section of stores are Calcium Carbonate . Grind some chalk into fine powder and mix it with your food. Does it sound appetizing or healthy? No! Yet most of calcium used in prepared foods and calcium supplements is Calcium Carbonate. Some problems with Calcium Carbonate are:

Ø It does not easily dissolve in water or body oils.

Ø A large amount of digestive acid must be present to change it to a usable form of calcium.

Ø The body must expend great energy in order to convert it into a viable nutritional substance.

Ø With all associated factors present, best absorption value you can expect from Calcium Carbonate is 40%.

Ø Calcium Carbonate is in many of foods you eat daily, but where is its nutritive value?

Some people obtain benefit from Coral Calcium because they are desperate for calcium and enough cofactors are present in coral for body to convert up to about 40% of calcium carbonate into bio available calcium. The bio-available calcium is dispersed wherever it is needed most. The bones may receive little or none of this calcium because brain does not consider them as important as other body functions.
