Sands of Okinawa

According to Barefoot and the late-night infomercials, the product works because of the sand from the coral reefs of Okinawa, Japan, an island widely regarded as one of the healthiest places on Earth.

"The Okinawans just happen to live on an island of pure calcium … and they dig up this coral sand and put it in their food," he says in the infomercial. "And they've been eating it for hundreds of years."

But Dr. Bradley Willcox, a Harvard-trained physician and researcher who has spent years studying the amazing health of Okinawa residents, is dubious.

Why? Because it works so well and it is Eco Safe. Coral Calcium is especially formulated for maximum absorption.

Coral naturally contains every mineral needed by the human body. It is a wonderful calcium supplement, plus it contains all the trace minerals that are missing from our foods, due to unsustainable farming practices.

The most important factor is that all these minerals really get in and work. Coral minerals are known to be readily absorbable because they have been previously digested by an animal (The coral polyp).
