Coral Calcium is an alkaline formula of Calcium, an important mineral for the body, crucial for the proper development of bones and teeth, which helps balance the body's pH and promote tissue health.

Fossilized coral calcium is a source of calcium that can be used by people who are lactose intolerant or who do not consume dairy products for ethical and/or lifestyle reasons. Coral Calcium has a composition very similar to that of the human skeleton, but also has the advantage, compared to other calcium supplements, of containing a wide range of other elements and trace elements that are necessary for the body and that are present in the optimal proportions required to maintain the efficiency of enzymatic activity and health.

Calcium plays an important role in the production of hormones and enzymes that regulate digestion and metabolism, and can help reduce heartburn by normalizing the acidic environment of the stomach. It can increase the alkalinity of the intercellular environment, helping to prevent tissue damage associated with aging and the occurrence of pathologies in the body. It is an important nutrient required for the mechanism of muscle contraction and necessary for healthy blood clotting. Many foods in the diet (cheeses, meats, sugars, coffee, etc.) contribute to the creation of an acidic environment in the body that makes it difficult for the vitamins and minerals essential for good health to be effectively absorbed. Therefore, by helping to balance the body's alkaline-acid ratio, calcium helps to restore a healthy pH. It also helps the nervous system to function efficiently, as it participates in neurotransmission. Its health benefits also include its ability to regulate blood pressure and blood sugar levels and to help maintain a steady heartbeat. Calcium plays an important role in building and maintaining stronger, denser bones from early in life. It also acts as a regulator of cellular metabolism, contributing to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the process of cell division and specialization.

About 99% of the body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth.
In the electrical conduction mechanisms in the Heart, Calcium replaces Sodium as the mineral that depolarizes the cell, triggering and prolonging the action potential, creating a level of dynamic equilibrium, increasing the systolic period.

A long-term calcium deficiency, in addition to rickets, can cause problems with blood clotting and, in menopause, can lead to osteoporosis and an increased risk of fractures, which are its greatest and most feared consequences. Osteoporosis-related fractures have high morbidity and mortality and represent a serious public health problem.

Calcium also provides additional support for the Immune System.
As for the most common side effects of excessive calcium intake, gastrointestinal problems such as constipation, excessive gas formation and intestinal flatulence are highlighted. Therefore, it is essential not to exceed the recommended doses and to ensure an abundant intake of liquids. Taking the supplement with meals can avoid the aforementioned effects.
