Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Never heard of this but sounds like another Asian cure-all. Sounds like ground-up coral, which wouldn't be vegetarian, you're right. Further, how does the source of the calcium make a difference? If they can explain that, I'd like to hear it. I doubt the body makes any distinction as to nutrient's origin, as long as it's pure. I suspect this is just exotic-sounding bunkum being peddled as snake oil. They should call it Sea Bone Meal.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 calcium citrate is more absorbable (and more expensive) than carbonate. of course citrate isn't in coral, so yeah, coral calcium is one of those special exotic things with nothing special about it.
