In Japan's magnificent, self-supporting coral reefs lies a secret to longer life. Coral has always played a significant part in the everyday life among the inhabitants on the Southern Islands of Japan. On Okinawa alone, where large quantities of Ancient Coral enrich the water supply with calcium, life spans regularly exceed 90 years. 
 

The coral reef is chiefly composed of calcium carbonate and contains magnesium as a secondary component. A great number of other mineral elements are also present in minute concentrations, so that the entire make-up of the coral is similar to that of the human skeleton. 
 

There are similarities between the sea, the Earth, and the human body. The surface of the Earth is approximately 70% water and 30% land. The human body is composed of approximately 70% water and 30% all other elements. The composition of sea water is extremely similar in the mathematical ratio of its components to that of human amniotic fluids, blood, and various other body fluids. All the elements found in the human body can be found in the Earth's crust. The above information shows clearly our special relationship with "MOTHER EARTH". It might be said that the human body incorporates the sea, and that this sea forms the medium for manifesting human vital life activities. 
 

ALKA-MINE Coral Calcium is derived from the Sango Coral (Scleractinia family). It's carefully extracted from the coral sand accumulated on the sea floor without disturbing the living coral reefs. It's a naturally balanced marine mineral, primarily enriched with calcium and magnesium and contains other essential elements. Made up of these two powerful bone-strengthening minerals. ALKA-MINE Coral Calcium's ability to fortify bones is unprecedented. In fact, coral itself has been used successfully as "lattice" in bone-grafting procedures. 
 

ALKA-MINE Coral Calcium is formed by finely grinding the skeletal portion of a coral reef and its fossilized counter-part. Each grain of coral calcium has a very large surface area, making them extremely permeable and advantageous for ion-exchange purposes. 
 

When ALKA-MINE Coral Calcium is put into tap water or other liquids, it neutralizes any waste products that may be present such as chlorine, bacteria, algae, chloroform, sediments, etc. And, this once acidic tap water or liquid is also made slightly alkaline (pH 8.5-8.6). Moreover, calcium ions and mineral components dissolve into the water and help create a healthier, tastier water. 
 

Years of research shows that because of its alkaline-forming material, ALKA-MINE Coral Calcium has the ability to bring the body's pH to ideal levels. This property alone has immense implications since predominantly acid-forming diets contribute to poor health and disease in many Americans. Excessive acidity can destroy body tissue, internal organs and blood. 
 

ALKA-MINE Coral Calcium also acts as an anti-oxidant in drinking water by disarming "active oxygen", which destroys normal cells and contributes to arteriosclerosis, diabetes, aging, and possibly even cancer. 
 

With ALKA-MINE Coral Calcium as a supplement to water, millions of Americans can achieve optimum health by maintaining proper pH levels, boosting the immune system, normalizing body functions, and enjoying a longer, active, healthier life.
