Why does CORALadvantage contain less calcium compared to Daily Values established by the Department of Health?
The Daily Values established by the government assume typical absorbability of various sources with absorption rates of about 15%. Because CORALadvantage totally dissolves and has required co-nutrients, its absorption rate is believed to be higher. For example, 1000mg of calcium in calcium carbonate with 15% absorption provides150mg calcium, while 366mg calcium in CORALadvantage at 80% absorption would be 293mg or almost double the usable calcium. We do not have scientifically valid proof of these absorption levels. We have had users report cases where individuals who had been taking other calcium supplements for years notice significant results within days (e.g. reduction in pain, sleeping better, etc.) when switching to CORALadvantage, indicating that the absorption and/or utilization of our product is better than what they had been taking.
