Coral Calcium Tea - Is It All It’s Cracked Up To Be?
Can you drink coral calcium tea and see the same benefits as a tradition calcium supplement? It would be nice, but unfortunately tea drinkers are only reaping about 2% of the nutrients in the coral. Most of the nutrients are dissolved in the tea’s water.
When coral calcium is mixed with water there are changes that occur which are both physical and chemical. The alkalinity of the water goes up which in turn makes its PH level higher and helps to balance the PH level of the body. The coral calcium changes the oxidation reduction potential of the water. Still the fact is that there is not enough of the coral sand in the tea bag to produce fast physio chemical change. In case the tea bags did produce these rapid changes then it is possible that they have been treated by adding other strong alkalinizing substances such as calcium hydroxide or other oxides of alkaline metals.
Taking coral calcium in the form of a capsule or powder is much more effective than drinking coral calcium tea.
Often people that drink coral calcium as a tea are really not aware of the amount of calcium that is in their drink. It is an estimated that they would receive between ten and fifty time the mineral nutrient by taking one capsule of coral calcium dependent on the brand and type of tea bag and capsule
However, coral water, as it is called, does benefit the body, and many swear by it as a homeopathic treatment. The one key factor in this treatment is that it provides mineral enrichment. This tea often relieves people of their aches and pains, as the coral water contains enough coral calcium and other minerals that their bodies have a need for.
While consuming coral calcium tea is beneficial, it should not take the place of dietary calcium supplements. Be sure to only buy from a reputable company and check with your health care professional before adding any supplement to your daily regimen.
