Not too long ago I happened by a noonday news program in which they were
interviewing a physician about various things. Coral calcium as a supplement
came up. The response the dr. gave was that there is not enough data in to
support it being a great source of calcium and like someone already said it’s
expensive. The dr. suggested that those of us taking calcium supplements
need to continue to take the calcium citrate supplements; however, she did
say that IF you chose to take the calcium carbonate you needed to be aware
that you needed A WHOLE LOT MORE of it to get the same effect as in taking
the calcium citrate.
Just my 2 cents worth.

At our last support group someone asked about the coral calcium. The
nutritionist said that they couldn’t be sure of its purity. Many times it
may come from waters that have high lead counts, among other pollutants.
Also, the high cost………….
Just some input.

Chris,
I’ve seen Bob Barefoot’s infomercials on Coral Calcium and it does sound
amazing. However, I think coral calcium is really calcium carbonate. I could
be wrong but that’s what I remember hearing from others. Plus it is VERY
expensive!
