I feel the same way - I personally refuse to gamble with my bones - but

having a mother and grandmother who had osteoporosis and being diagnosed

with it myself at 42 I can't afford to lose any more bone density.

Fortunately by using calcium Citrate and some added D, Boron, Mag. and

Ipraflavone I've managed to improve to the point of being only ostepenia

now. my next bone density scan is 3/6 so I can only hope to stay stable at

this point.

Me makes 3 :-)

On the Coral Calcium though what bothers me besides it is still just dead

animal bone in an expensive package (but, that's ok) they are " mining " Coral

Reef's and will continue to so long as we continue to support the

destruction of the oceans reefs by buying the product. I don't care if they

" manage " the mining or " grow this specifically for... " they all justify

mining living reefs in our oceans for the all mighty buck. The second thing

that bothers me is obviously, anything from the ocean that way is going to

be riddled with heavy metals -- if the ocean down the street from me has too

much heavy metal to mine for oysters then how is that water any different

across the ocean and it has stayed totally clean of heavy metals so they can

safely mine coral??? Most of it I've seen comes from Japan, a heavy

industrial nation so none of that pollution makes it to the oceans around

them? Who is regulating the contents of the coral? (or oyster?)

Just some quick thoughts... I'll stick to my Calcium as Citrate -- not

willing to risk my bones either.

As I see it, the problem with coral calcium is that it is almost pure

calcium. Particularly with our diminished digestive capacity, it will

be very difficult to break down the calcium particles into pieces small

enough to be absorbed through the intestinal wall. It would have to be

ground down to a single molecule in size. I doubt that happens.
