ANI's CoralAdvantage 180Vcaps

Each serving of CORALadvantage contains 1000 mg of natural marine coral from Okinawa, Japan CORALadvantage is a high grade, high quality, marine coral calcium based balanced mineral supplement. Each 3 capsule serving contains 1000mg of SMP-44 high grade marine coral powder from Okinawa, Japan, along with calcium and magnesium citrates, a full spectrum of chelated minerals, numerous first and second tier co-nutrients for improved absorption and utilization of calcium, and trace minerals from marine coral and red algae. The product is manufactured by a FDA registered, cGMP compliant plant in Texas.Calcium is an essential nutrient used by the body in numerous metabolic processes. Calcium deficiency can limit the ability of the body to regulate pH leading to metabolic acidosis. Acidosis has been linked to osteoporosis and may be a factor in other degenerative conditions1. In attempting to neutralize the acidic condition, if there are insufficient minerals available in the diet, the body draws on its stores of minerals in the bones, leading to demineralization of the bones. Due to the large number of nutrients involved in calcium metabolism, providing vitamin D and many other co-nutrients in a "complex" formula may enhance absorption and utilization.SMP Coral Sango Marine Coral or SMP is collected as dead fragments of coral reefs that have broken off naturally and have collected in ocean trenches more than one mile offshore and outside of the reefs of Okinawa, Japan. Note that this collection is regulated by the government of Japan, occurs safely away from the live reef and utilizes a process where water is filtered to avoid sediment. This protects the live reefs from being harmed. This information has been confirmed in meetings with the Prefecture of Okinawa and the Marine Biology Department of the University of Ryukyu in Okinawa. CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), an international group chartered to protect endangered species, specifically approved trade in coral sands.CORALadvantage Indications. CORALadvantage may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to supplement their diet with calcium and other minerals and may be having trouble absorbing and utilizing calcium from traditional calcium supplements.Suggested Use: Take 3 CORALadvantage capsules daily with meals or as directed by a physician or health care practitioner. Since stomach acid is required to dissolve calcium, for best results take CORALadvantage with multiple meals throughout the day rather than in one large dose. Avoid taking with soft drinks that contain phosphoric acid since it binds with calcium and makes it un-absorbable. It is also better to not take with spinach and beet greens because the Oxalic acid inhibits calcium absorption. Also avoid taking with iron supplements and sulfate containing supplements (e.g., chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine sulfate). Note that acid forming foods including alcohol, caffeine, carbonated soft drinks, red meat, and saturated fats may increase the body's requirements for calcium and mitigate attempts to increase calcium intake. Consult a health professional for more information.Suitable for Vegetarians and Children. CORALadvantage in Vegetarian Capsules contains no animal source ingredients.
