There
are still many people who believe that Coral Calcium is nothing
more than hyped Calcium Carbonate. Although it is true that the
calcium found in coral is indeed a carbon based molecule, giving
it a calcium carbonate classification, the photos below clearly
depict the fact that there is an immense difference between organic
coral calcium, and inorganic calcium carbonate. It is often said
that a picture is worth a thousand words; in this case it could
be a million.

microscopic photographs of coral calcium, and calcium carbonate
(plain). The porosity of coral calcium (43%) exceeds calcium carbonate.
This enhanced porosity gives special physico-chemical characteristics
to coral calcium. More minerals may dissolve when water is filtered
through coral and more of the contents of the water may be extracted
(loosely termed the “detoxifying action of coral sand”).
