Coral Calcium

With respect to pH and alkalinity, the calcium component is less important than the carbonate component, which is chemically similar to the bicarbonate in baking soda. Coral calcium is a source of calcium, which is an essential mineral for human life. Coral grains are mined from fossilized coral beds on the coastline, and pumped from coral beds in shallow waters. The final product is either bagged as powder, or mixed with silicon dioxide (an anti-caking agent), rice flour, and magnesium stearate which acts as a lubricant, then encapsulated and bottled for retail sale. Another problem with the body alkalinization idea is that the body pH does not change, regardless of how much calcium carbonate is ingested. So, people who attempt to increase the pH of their bodies are really only succeeding in raising the pH of their urine. Additionally, it can be dangerous for people with certain medical conditions (such as kidney failure ) to take excess coral calcium. Much attention has been given to calcium carbonate s ability to change the pH (or alkalinity ) of water-based solutions to which it is added.
