Coral Calcium
As the name implies, coral calcium is extracted from coral. The calcium is embedded in a natural matrix of trace minerals. Our bodies rely on trace minerals for many functions, from heart health to bone density. Coral has even been found to contain anti-viral agents. Coral contains a highly absorbable form of every trace mineral needed by the body. In fact, the mineral matrix in coral is so compatible with human needs that some orthopaedic surgeons now use coral grafts instead of bone grafts. One reason for this may be the low acidity of coral calcium.

Vitamin D
Vitamin D is essential to calcium absorption. Deficiency in adults can lead to the bone-softening disease osteomalacia. Recent studies have confirmed that supplementation with combined calcium and Vitamin D can decrease bone loss and reduce the incidence of hip fractures in elderly men and women.

Other Important Points about SISU Coral Calcium
• The calcium in this product is derived from ecologically harvested Okinawa coral in a naturally occurring matrix of 72 trace minerals including magnesium.
• Most coral calcium is taken from the coral rubble that surrounds large reefs. However, this rubble is crucial to the delicate reef ecosystem. Coral larvae settle on it and countless
organisms live within it. As well, sediment dredging during coral harvesting blocks out light required by the coral and its resident creatures. SISU Coral Calcium is made using above-sea coral, harvested using ecologically respectful means.
• Above-sea coral was a thriving reef thousands of years ago and was geologically pushed up above sea level, free from the ocean pollution of the industrial revolution.
