What is the best way to take Coral Calcium. in capsule or a sachet, and why ?
The main reasons why the sachets are superior are: 1.)pH – It is extremely hard to raise your bodies pH using a capsule. First of all, we have not found a capsules with a pH higher than about a 9. Coral calcium does contain some carbonates along with the ionic minerals. The ionic minerals come from a micro-algae that grows in coral as it rests on the ocean floor. The skeleton is basically just carbonates. When you introduce these carbonates into your body the stomach will release HCl (hydrochloric acid, pH 1) to break down the minerals. When you combine the pH of 1 with the pH of 9 or lower then you are back to slightly acid. When using the sachets only the ionic minerals are released into the water since carbonates do not readily dissolve in water. Your body will recognize that you have ingested ionic minerals and water that do not require digestion and therefore will only absorb the minerals and water and not try to flood them with acids and enzymes and therefore increasing your pH.
