Original Coral Calcium

The Spanish explores brought the coral calcium to Europe from Okinawa 500 years ago and introduced the same to the western culture.  Benefits of the coral sand, now known as original coral calcium, on the coral islands inhabitants were seen by the explorers and when they returned to Spain, their ships filled with this interesting health aid.

The Spanish must have really liked it because some of the world’s oldest drugstores, located in Spain, currently still have coral calcium labeled shelves holding clay pots, which are now historic monuments.  Apparently, this mineralized sand worked just as good back then as it does here today!

Although modern records show the Spanish as bringing coral calcium to Europe, there is a legend that predates this by hundreds of years and compare the original coral calcium to  the fountain of youth.  Apparently, a Chinese emperor had heard of a magical place where there was an important health elixier – a fountain of youth, if you will and he sent 3000 explorers off to find this place which was rumored to be in the warm ocean waters of the Eastern coast of China.

The explorers found this place in the province of Okinawa, but there was one problem.  It was such a paradise and the health benefits so potent that none of them wanted to return with the elixir to the emperor!  Thus, coral calcium was never returned to China but stayed on this coral based island in the beautiful pristine sea.

As early as the 1900’s, mainland Japan used coral calcium for health benefits.  Soon, Britain, China, France, Russia, and Sweden, also began to use coral calcium.  Use began in the 1970’s in the United States as a dietary supplement and it is still very popular today.

Coral Calcium is a nutritional supplement and its use is growing in the western world continuously.  Many people consider the benefits associated with this dietary supplement as an essential factor in their lives.  If you want to try it, make sure you get the original coral calcium – marine coral calcium- from Okinawa as it is said this is the only place that contains the vital minerals that provide the health benefits.
