In recent years we have been introduced to a new category of coral calcium. This new coral calcium is neither above-sea coral calcium nor below sea coral calcium. In fact it is not from Okinawa. This new coral is harvested live as it washes up on the beaches of Northern Brazil. The certificates of analysis on this product show it has more than 12 times the trace mineral content of Okinawa corals (both above and below sea varieties). This Brazilian coral calcium is the only product so far that has not had it's minerals depleted through aging in the elements since it is picked up as it washes in while still living. It is cold processed unlike Okinawa corals to retain the marine nutrients, proteins, amino acids and phyto-nutrients. Now marketers predict that this new comer will gain popularity and perhaps overtake Okinawa coral sales in time.
