There are multiple sources of calcium and many brands of calcium. Regardless of the multiple brands and forms of calcium, some forms of calcium are better absorbed. This raises the subject of coral calcium. Coral calcium is simply calcium carbonate derived from coral beds. What’s so special about coral calcium? Well, it is said to be better absorbed by the human gut, thus giving you more of what you truly need or even more bang for your buck. You be the judge.

In a study by Ishitani and others (J Nutr Sci Vitminol. 1999; 45(5):509-17), one group of patients were fed crackers with powdered calcium carbonate from a non-coral source and the other group powdered coral calcium carbonate. There was a significant difference between the absorption of calcium between the two groups. The coral calcium group had superior absorption.

Coral Calcium usually have trace minerals which may contribute to absorption. Be careful of how your coral calcium is harvested. Make sure it comes from a reputable company and is certified pure from harmful contaminants.

Animal studies have shown enhanced bone growth at injuried site (peridontal) when that tissue is implanted with calcium from a coral source. J Clin Periodontol. 2005; 32(1):104-10. So, not all calcium supplements are created equally.

So don’t be fooled! There are varying quality of calcium supplements based on the form of calcium and calcium content. Always read the labels and ask questions. Again, look for not only the form of calcium but the source of the calcium. For example, people who are on dialysis and use a calcium product to neutralize excess phosphorous should use calcium acetate, not carbonate. The reason for this is that calcium acetate is not as bioavailable or absorbed. That’s why kidney patients use the acetate because they are usually calcium overloaded.  

A final word: If you are vitamin D deficient, your body will not efficiently absorb calcium. You need adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D in addition to a healthy liver and kidneys. Ask your healthcare provider to see if you need to have your vitamin D levels assessed.

Get out of debt. Having and maintaining debt is like trying to swim with a concrete block around your ankle. Financial stress is mental stress which wears on you every minute of the day. This stress leads to all the physiological issues we just discussed. Get on a budget; cut up the credit cards; use only debit cards; and pay cash for everything you buy (only exception may be buying a house and even then put down a 20% down payment to avoid the private mortgage insurance.

Proper diet and nutrition supplementation: A diet well balanced in fruit, nuts, and vegetables while minimizing animal protein helps to maintain the body in good working order while sharpening the mind and decreasing stress. Proper nutrition supplements can boost the immune system, improve mental clarity, and help neutralize free radicals by supplying antioxidants. Nutrition supplements can also provide probiotics (good bacteria for the gut) that can support digestion and nutrient absorption.

Build your own dream. If you hate your job, do something about it. Develop your own business. Start part-time and grow that business into a full time career. Then fire your boss! One type of business that takes little money to begin but gives you the advantage and a system of a big business is direct sales via network marketing or multi-level marketing (MLM). Don’t just choose and join any company! Select a company with a good 5 year or more track record with quality and diverse product line or services in an industry that is rapidly growing. Such an industry is health and wellness. To make such a move requires guts, deferred gratification, confidence and the willingness to be a leader. Do your homework (get the course Magnetic Sponsoring).The hardest work you’ll ever do is to work for yourself. If you are successful at this, you will declare your time and financial independence. Read the works of Robert Kiyosaki and the Cash Flow Quadrant.

Need to stay awake? Need more energy? Don’t use caffeine. Use a nutrition supplement that improves your energy and stamina naturally. Supplements rich in vitamin B-12 are also excellent alternatives. Caffeine irritates the bladder and increases urinary frequency. Caffeine is very addictive as well. Don’t believe me? Abruptly stop using caffeine if you are a consistent and long time caffeine user (despite the source, whether cola drinks or coffee). You will most likely become irritable, have less focus, and develop withdrawal headaches. www.AskAboutTheBlast.com/wellnessunlimited.

  For diabetics you should always know what is the value of your sugar control number. Your sugar control number is called hemoglobin A1c (or glycohemoglobin). This is the percentage of your red blood cells that are attached to sugar. This number should be <7%. The closer to 6.5% the better. As this number climbs over 7, kidney (nephropathy), nerve damage (neuropathy), and eye damage (retinopathy) become more apparent.

So often individuals visit their doctor for a specific complaint or health and wellness issues but leave without having a clear understanding of the doctor’s impression and plan. Not asking these questions may lead to misunderstanding about your diagnosis, medication regimen, and the timeliness of health and wellness screens. You must have a clear understanding of the uses of ALL your medications and possible interactions. Here are 5 questions you must ask your provider at least once per year: (1) What is your assessment and plan for this visit and my overall medical condition? (2) Are there any cancer screens for which I am due? (3) Can you match my medications with my diagnosis? (4) Can you review all my medications (including those from other doctors) for negative interactions? (5) Are there any medical issues about me that concern you?
