What Health Benefits Can You Get From Coral Calcium Tea?

By Lee Dobbins


Can you drink coral calcium tea and see the same benefits as a tradition calcium supplement? It would be nice, but unfortunately tea drinkers are only reaping about 2% of the nutrients in the coral. Most of the nutrients are dissolved in the tea's water.

When coral calcium is put into clean water there are both physical and chemical change that take place which are beneficial to your health. The alkalinity of the water goes up which make its pH level higher and help to balance the ph level of the body. The coral calcium also changes the an oxidation reduction potential of the water. However there is not enough of the coral sand in the tea bags to produce a rapid physico-chemical change. If the tea bag did produce these rapid change most likely they have been treated by adding other strong alkalinizing substances such as calcium hydroxide or other hydroxides or an oxide of alkaline metal.

Make no mistake, coral calcium tea is a very healthy drink. But if your using this drink as a dietary supplement you will not gain the full benefit that you want if you were taking coral calcium in the form of capsule or powder.

It is estimated that there is ten to fifty times the mineral nutrients in one capsule of coral calcium, depending on the brand and type of tea bag and capsule. Rest assured that the minerals are vital to our health and an important part of the much touted health benefits of coral calcium.

The benefit of the tea or coral water is more of a type of homeopathic treatment. This treatment would include mineral enrichment as one key factor. Often when people drink coral calcium tea they experience relief from many of their aches and pain. This is due to the fact that the coral water contain an enough of the coral calcium and other mineral that their bodies needed at that time.

While consuming coral calcium tea is beneficial, it should not take the place of dietary calcium supplements. Be sure to only buy from a reputable company and check with your health care professional before adding any supplement to your daily regimen.
