Dr . Staninger Recommended Calcium Supplements.
Coral Complex was the original and purist powdered coral capsule product in the USA (1999). The formula has become the most popular and successful coral capsule formula in the USA. The most notable additive is 400 IU of vitamin D3 as cholecalceriferol in each capsule. Vitamin D3, the sunshine vitamin, charges the receptors in the small intestine that are instrumental in the uptake of calcium. These ingredients have been proven by years in the marketplace, to be the perfect synergistic combination. Coral organically contains Calcium, Magnesium and all of your 72 Trace Minerals. Coral also has the natural ability to become ionic upon contact with moisture, this combined with the full spectrum, whole food organic formation, makes coral one of the most beneficial forms of minerals for the body
Eco Pure Coral consists of 100% pure coral powder (every mineral found in the human body in similar proportions). This powder is identical to that found in the Coral Complex 3 blended formula. The coral powder is extremely fine (2-10 micron, the consistency of talcum powder). So fine that a small amount on the tongue simply absorbs through the mouth, one does not even need to swallow. Eco Pure Coral was originally developed for vegans and other purists but has become popular with many people, especially senior citizens and children.
Coral Complex consists of the following ingredients:Coral powder (from Coral): 800mg per capsule delivers 300mg of calcium and 73 trace minerals. Coral is an excellent calcium supplement because it is readily absorbed and has never been known to cause constipation as is common with other calcium supplements.
Calcium Citrate: 5mg of calcium from citrate per capsule. Originally formulated for the synergistic enhancement between the calciums.
Vitamin D (as cholecalciferoll): 400IU Vitamin D3 as cholecalceriferol is in each capsule. This Vitamin D3 is derived from a natural source (lanolin from sheep hair). Vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin) is necessary to charge the Vitamin D receptors of the small intestine that are instrumental in the uptake of calcium. Most naturopathic doctors believe that 1000 - 1500 IU of Vitamin D is necessary to fully charge the Vitamin D receptors. Many people are Vitamin D deficient because they get very little sunshine without sun block or hats. Typically, about one hour of unprotected morning sun will allow the body to produce 10,000 IU of Vitamin D.
Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid): 5mg of Vitamin C is in each capsule. This small amount of Vitamin C was added for the synergistic effect on the formula.
Magnesium: 50mg of magnesium as citrate and oxide has been added. The main reason for this is the general impression that high ratio of magnesium is needed with calcium. It is true that calcium needs magnesium to be present for a natural balance to exist. The relationships of minerals are intricate and complex. Calcium and magnesium have an antagonistic relationship, meaning calcium and magnesium block each other. Magnesium is naturally present in coral (at a 40:1 ratio) in a similar ratio as found in the human body.
(It is true that recent research has proven the cardio-vascular benefits of increased magnesium consumption. In view of the fact that calcium and magnesium are natural blockers of each other, large doses of these two minerals should be taken at different times of the day.)
Malic Acid: is derived from apple juice and is known to prevent the clumping of calcium. Although the calcium found in coral has never been known to clump, the malic acid is added for this reason.
Betaine HCL: is a substance that stimulates the production of stomach acid. The small amount of betaine HCL in each capsule was intended to trigger the production of stomach acid for enhanced digestion of the coral minerals.
72 trace minerals from the coral, perhaps more important than the calcium itself, including: Boron, Manganese, Sodium, Chromium, Molybdenum, Sulfur, Copper, Phosphorus, Vanadium, Iodine, Potassium, Zinc, Iron, Selenium, Lithium and Silicon.

Dosage:
Naturopathic doctors usually recommend 3 capsules per day as a maintenance supply for a healthy adult. To reverse a specific condition (i.e. raising pH or building bone density), a N.D often recommends a double dose. To address a chronic condition, a N.D. often recommends a triple dose. No known toxicity level exists. We know of numerous people that have been taking 16 to 24 grams of coral per day for several years and they have only positive reports. It is usually best to take the coral directly before bed, because coral does promote a restful nights sleep.
