Questions and Answers about CoralMin™
100% Pure Fossilized, Ionic and
Organic Coral Mineral Powder
Many concerned consumers ask questions about CoralMin™
and other coral calcium. Because of many fabricated stories and
misleading information about coral calcium, let us use this format
here to answer some of your questions so that you may become well-informed
consumers.
Q: The
fossilized Coral classification
A: The
fossilized Corals comprise a very large Order of Scleractinian containing
more than 2,500 species and about 5,000 extinct species. The recorded
number of species is 1,241 in Okinawa. Soft corals and hard corals
are the two types of coral reefs. The majority of the fossilized
corals from Yonaguni Island are clusters of Astraea (Star Coral)
variety. Stony or hard corals (66 varieties) are the builders of
the coral islands and their protective reefs in Okinawa.
Q:
What is the history of Coral used as therapeutic
value?
A: The
oldest pharmacy in Spain, established in 1685, displays the drug
containers on the shelves of the pharmacy. One of them contained
minerals from stony corals with inscription. "The blond coral
is the only coral used for medicine" & "Coral has
a beneficial effect upon the heart and elevates the mood of the
person taking it." For further reading, please refer to Dr.
Halstead's book.
Q:
What are the established grades and classifications
of the raw materials from Okinawa?
A: Many
grades are referred to by Americans who act like an authority in
the classification of Coral Minerals. Have they ever been in Okinawa
for critical investigational trip? CoralMin™ is a one-of-a-kind
13:1 extract without altering physical crystallization structure
(aragonite) of the fossilized coral mineral powder, meaning
it takes 13 kgs. of fossilized coral mineral raw materials to produce
1 kg of CoralMin™ Powder. Nobody can beat the premium quality
of our product; it is the cream of the fossilized crop. Other kinds
of grades are marine coral which would contain micro-organisms (below
sea types) such as coral sand, beach sand, shore grade, rock coral,
marine coral mineral, dug-out or antiquated remains. CoralMin™
should have not been associated with "Sand".
Q:
Micron sized powder of the fossilized coral
minerals are described as 2.2 or 3.3 micron. What is the particle
size reduction of CoralMin™? Who is telling us the truth based
on scientific analysis?
A: According
to the Test of Measurement of Particle Size Distribution done by
Japan Food Research Laboratories, CoralMin™ contains 3.3 average
micron size. Previous distributors of CoralMin™ are still
using the micron size information we provided to them and
they are still using our promotional materials even after they stopped
purchasing CoralMin™. Furthermore, we are just wondering whether
previous distributor's customers are still receiving CoralMin™
or not.
Q:
Tell us the reason why several companies,
your company and others are using identical photos of fossilized
coral and the coral mineral mine. This is quite confusing from the
view of two companies are selling fossilized coral powder from different
raw material sources.
A: Glad
you asked. We provided two original photos you mentioned to former
distributors utilizing our photos taken at Yonaguni Island they
use in their promotional materials whether written or audio/visual
materials. Since they stopped purchasing CoralMin™, we requested
all materials including two original photos should be withdrawn
from the usage by a letter of cease and desist but they are still
using two photos. We are quite perplexed and question the integrity
of marketing and business ethics practiced by these companies.
Q: How
about the ratio of calcium and Magnesium 2:1 harvested from the
coral sand that is found on the floor in the deep water surrounding
the coral reefs off Okinawa?
A: You
should demand a certificate of the proof of authentic raw materials
with a certificate of analysis from suppliers of companies dealing
with the coral sand and from a third party analysis. This type of
coral species do not exist in naturally occurring the balance of
calcium to magnesium of 2:1 ratio.
Q:
In regard to dredging out dead coral and
other marine debris from the bottom of the Ocean in Okinawa. "The
Japanese Government approved harvesting work". Is this statement
substantiated?
A: Ask
the supplier who received the harvesting right and which branch
of the Japanese government issued this permit.
Q:
Why do coral calcium from other companies
dissolve in water?
A: They
add citric acid and other ingredients to help their product dissolve
in Water; thus the amount of elemental Calcium is much less per
capsule. If they add nothing, the coral mineral powder settles on
the bottom naturally. Put fossilized coral mineral powder or open
capsulized coral calcium into a glass of water. CoralMin™
should go down to the bottom of the glass.
Q:
Are some companies' claims that their coral
calcium is 100 % soluble valid?
A: You
must know if they are talking about dissolving in water or in the
stomach.
Q: Is Dr.
Bruce W. Halstead, M.D. the author of Fossil Stony Coral Minerals
and Their Nutritional Application for or against coral sand
taken from the bottom of the ocean in Okinawa?
A: Dr.
Halstead opposed vehemently any commercial action of taking any
form of corals from the bottom of the ocean due to the possible
destruction of the coral reefs and marine eco-system in Okinawa.
He wrote, "I am a disciplinary bastard of sorts who has combined
marine biology with medicine, directed toward the field of marine
biotoxicology, nutritional products of marine origin, Chinese traditional
medicine and nutrition." This book is worth reading. If you
