Coral calcium contains a form of calcium carbonate. Why then does it absorb better into the bloodstream?
A. The calcium carbonate in coral is in the form of aragonite crystal which is an unstable and much more chemically reactive form then regular calcium carbonate, and this crystal only forms in the presence of saline (salt in sea water) and enzymes produced by the coral organism. Aragonite is actually a protein matrix like a chelate. The coral is also highly porous which increases the effective surface area and allows it to dissolve much faster in stomach acid.
