Can one replace calcium supplement with calcium coral tea to get the same benefits?   If you are a coral ctea drinker then it is important for you to know that you are getting only 2% of the marine coral’s nutrients which dissolve in the water of the tea. Basically, you are drinking coral water, a watered down version of coral calcium.

Some chemical and physical changes occur when coral calcium is put in clean water.  These are beneficial for health, as alkalinity of the water goes up which makes its ph level higher and is helpful in balancing the ph level of the body. The oxidation reduction potential of the water also changes when coral calcium is immersed in water.  But the quantity of the coral sand in the tea bag is very limited and it cannot produce rapid physico-chemical change.  If it is seen that the tea bage are bringing these rapid changes the reason may be that they have been treated by adding other strong alkalinizing substances ,such as calcium hydroixide or other hydroxides or oxides of alkaline metals.

Coral calcium tea then can be said to be a very healthy drink, yet for the full benefits ,this drink is not sufficient and coral calcium taken as a capsule or in powder form will give you much more of the minerals.  Generally people drinking coral tea are not aware  that the  amount of calcium in the tea is very small. Basically, a supplement would have anywhere from 10 to 50 times the amount of minerals you would get in the tea.

But there are still many advantages of drinking this coral water and many say it works very well as a homeopathic remedy. One reason for this is the amounts of different minerals which can provide relief from general aches and pains.   Many people don’t realize that they are deficient in some of the minerals and the tea can replace them, thus aiding in their health.

So, you see,  drinking coral calcium tea does have its benefit  but should not be used as a replacement for dietary calcium supplement.
