What is Coral Calcium?
Coral calcium is a natural calcium supplement derived from fossilized coral reefs. It is valued for its high mineral content, providing not only calcium but also 70+ naturally occurring trace minerals that support mineral balance, bone health, and overall wellness. Unlike isolated calcium sources, coral calcium offers a more comprehensive mineral profile.
Where does Coral Calcium come from?
High-quality coral calcium is sourced from above-sea, naturally fossilized coral beds that have been uplifted by geological processes over time. These fossilized coral deposits are no longer part of living reefs and can be responsibly mined without harming marine ecosystems.
Our coral calcium is ethically harvested in the Caribbean, not from living coral reefs or underwater ecosystems. Some coral supplements on the market are sourced from below-sea coral near regions like Okinawa, Japan—practices that may disrupt marine life. We avoid this entirely. Our Coral Complex is certified 100% ecologically safe by Friend of the Sea, reflecting our commitment to environmental protection and sustainable sourcing—without compromising the benefits of coral calcium.

How is Coral Calcium different from other calcium sources?
Coral calcium differs from standard calcium carbonate or synthetic calcium supplements because it contains a synergistic blend of trace minerals—including magnesium, potassium, zinc, and boron—that act as cofactors. These minerals help enhance calcium’s bioavailability and support enzymatic functions, making coral calcium a more holistic and functional calcium source.
What are the potential benefits of Coral Calcium?
Coral calcium may offer enriched nutritional benefits due to its structured framework, which may facilitate better absorption and utilization. It is believed to support bone health, promote proper enzymatic function, and contribute to overall well-being.
How does Coral Calcium benefit bone health?
Calcium is a major component of bone tissue. Adequate calcium intake is essential for developing and maintaining peak bone mass. Coral calcium, like other calcium supplements, provides calcium in a form that the body can absorb, potentially aiding in the maintenance and strengthening of bones. Coral calcium is not just calcium carbonate; it also contains trace amounts of other minerals found in the coral, such as magnesium, boron, and potassium which is also important for bone health. Magnesium plays a role in converting our added vitamin D into its active form and helps the body absorb calcium.
Can I take a supplement if I am pregnant or breastfereding?
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before taking any supplements to ensure it is safe for them and their baby.
