Every few years in America there are self-proclaimed founders of alternative medicine trying to hog the limelight with their discoveries'. Sadly enough, most of the alternative medicine forms are fake. Though, there are some which have really generated interest in the common people about their phenomenal abilities that actually work. One of such inventions is the marine grade coral calcium from Okinawa.
Coral Calcium
There are many critics that argue that the coral calcium supplements are nothing but produced from the calcium carbonate found in coral reserves. True to their observation, the marine grade coral calcium is one such item but its chemical composition is beyond just calcium carbonate (like chalk). It also contains magnesium, phosphorus and other important minerals in trace amounts. The best variety of the marine grade calcium has around 23% of Ca with 13% Mg with other trace minerals.
Other thing that people and environment conservationists are particularly confused about is the coral calcium being a part of the fossilized coral beds found in the well preserved reefs of Japan and Australia. In fact, the truest observation has been that the fossilized corals actually offer little or no benefits when compared with the marine grade coral calcium found in premium supplements. The founder of this calcium medicine was Robert Barefoot, also called as Bob Barefoot sometimes affectionately.
The marine grade stuff could actually help one prevent and cure the following:
Weakening of the bones due to calcium loss.
Preventing formation of kidney stones and other digestive tract problems
Improves immunity in the human body
Destroys some anti-nutritional factors found in junk food
The SMP or the Sango Mineral Powder type variety is the best, as claimed by the followers of Barefoot's calcium wonder.
Though all these claims are yet to be verified comprehensively, it is the sheer presence of calcium that makes the product worthwhile to consume. For some people who are suffering from severe calcium deficiency, they can be administered up to 2000mg of the supplement each day without giving chance to any side effects; more than 2500mg and this becomes dangerous for the body, altering the normal pH levels of the body drastically. The beach and the land grade coral calcium also vie for the top slots but it is the marine grade only that shows the true benefits of having a calcium supplement like the one advocated by Robert Barefoot.
Robert Barefoot and his Marine Grade Calcium
He was born in 1944 and is a published author of fame. When he started out as a preacher of alternative medicine, people did not listen to him (unfortunately, the internet was not around then). Slowly, he generated interest in the ailing public those were open to alternative medicine to cure their ailments. Robert claims that he cured them completely; however critics and other scientists take a different stand on this.
Whatever the controversy is but there has been a sure winner in the marine grade coral calcium from Okinawa, Japan. In case you're open to trying something different, you can surely try this without any risk.
