Generally when people think of calcium, or coral calcium, they immediately think of healthy bones and teeth. While it is true that strong bones and teeth are dependent on calcium in our diets, calcium is also needed for many other fundamental functions of the human body. Calcium is known as the "King of Bioelements" because the chemical actions of calcium are extremely powerful, flexible, and life-sustaining. Many studies have been done examining the importance of calcium in our diets in regards to colon cancer, osteoporosis, hypertension, and preclampsia in pregnancy. The benefits of taking coral calcium on a regular basis, have been a positive effect on our overall health.
Coral calcium helps provide the needed nutrients for strong bones and teeth. Not having enough calcium is associated with osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and rickets. Bone tissue is metabolically active, releasing stores of calcium to maintain proper blood levels.Taking coral calcium is also believed to have anticancer effects. Many believe in the direct cause-and-effect relationship between cancer and calcium deficiency. Calcium is necessary for normal DNA function. Having the proper amount of calcium in our bodies, helps protect us against mutations and produces tissue alkalinity, which inhibits the spread of cancer. The effect of coral calcium for cardiovascular health is also positive. In order for the heart to contract calcium ions must be present. It is also believed that calcium may lower blood pressure, and reduce blood lipids. Calcium also acts as a biological cement, or a tissue glue. It actually binds several elements at once, which gives calcium the ability to regulate entry of ions into cells. It also regulates pH, cell membrane's voltage and channel openings. Calcium, found in coral calcium, is essential for the conduction of nerve impulses, cell division, enzyme activity, immune function, skeletal muscle contraction, and hormone production. It also acts as a second messenger in cells. For example, if the cells of the immune system are sent a signal from the brain, calcium transmits that signal into action inside the cells. Coral calcium, and calcium in general, is extremely important in our biological system. It has so many actions that its balance supply is a necessary part for almost all of our major body functions. |
