Often times we are asked about the Coral Calcium Supplement and which one should be used?

The answer lies in age and the level of health of the individual using the products.

Generally, everyone should use the flagship coral calcium supplement by Bob which is Bob’s Best Coral Calcium 2000.  It has 2000 mg of coral calcium per serving and 2,000 iu of vitamin d3 along with all the other high grade ingredients including vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 and Folic Acid.  Bob’s coral calcium supplements also contain the very beneficial marine seaweed mineral supplement called Aquamin.  The additional marine ingredient is packed full of minerals and nutrients from seaweed which grows off the coast of Ireland.  Fed with glacial melt, it is full of minerals.

The Coral Calcium Supreme can be used by young people who are in perfect health.  It has all the ingredients of the Bob’s Best but with half the coral calcium (1,000 mg) and just 816 iu of vitamin d3.

Bob believes that all people regardless of age should be supplementing with additional vitamin d3.

Do what is best for your family, for yourself… Supplement with the best minerals and vitamins available.  Bob’s Best!

Many people have contacted us in the last few days about a study released which states that “Calcium Supplements May Raise Risk of Heart Attack”

At first glance it is obvious that many important issues are not addressed or disclosed and appears that the study was not very well crafted.  First I will post the text of the original study as reported on Foxnews.com and then Bob’s Reply at the bottom of this post.

Calcium Supplements May Raise Risk of Heart Attack?

Calcium supplements, which many people consume hoping to ward off osteoporosis, may increase the risk of heart attack by as much as 30 percent, researchers reported Friday.

These tiny tablets which carry concentrated doses of calcium were also associated with higher incidences of stroke and death, but they were not statistically significant.

The researchers advised people consuming calcium supplements to seek advice from their doctors, take more calcium-rich foods and try other interventions like exercise, not smoking and keeping a healthy weight to prevent osteoporosis.

“People regard calcium supplements as natural but they are really not natural at all,” Ian Reid, professor of medicine at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, said in a telephone interview.

Reid and colleagues in Britain and the United States conducted a meta-analysis encompassing 11 studies that tracked nearly 12,000 elderly people over four years.

Half of them were given calcium supplements and the other half placebo or dummy pills with no therapeutic content. The results were published in the British Medical Journal.

“What we found was a 30 percent increase in heart attacks in the people who were randomized to take calcium,” Reid said.

“If you have 1,000 people taking calcium for five years, we will expect to find 14 more heart attacks, 10 more strokes and 13 more deaths in the people given calcium than they would have had if they hadn’t been treated with calcium,” Reid said.

“That is 37 more adverse events and we expect 26 fractures being prevented. So calcium is associated with more bad things happening than with bad things prevented.”

While experts are not certain about the biological mechanism by which calcium supplements may damage the body, studies in the past have linked high levels of blood calcium to more heart attacks and damage to blood vessels, Reid said.

“When you take calcium supplements, your blood calcium level goes up over the following four to six hours and goes up to the top end of the normal range,” he said.

“That doesn’t happen when you have calcium to eat in your diet because the calcium from food is very slowly absorbed and so the blood calcium level hardly changes at all.”

Higher blood calcium may lead to the formation of plaques in blood vessels, which can lead to heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases, Reid explained.

“People have always focused on fat levels in the blood as driving that process (plaque formation) but there is increasing evidence now that calcium levels in the blood might drive that as well,” he added.

Bob’s Expert Reply:

I have had many inquiries about this fraudulent British study

First the study was against all non natural calcium supplements, whereas coral calcium could not be a more natural supplement.

Secondly, they incorrectly attribute blood calcium levels as a direct result of calcium supplementation, when the opposite is true. When you do not get enough calcium in the digestive system, the body is forced to go to the bones to get the calcium it so desperately needs.  It transports this calcium in the blood so high blood calcium levels are a direct result of calcium deficiency as is the plaque, kidney stones, gall stones formed by high blood calcium.

Thus the solution is to get more calcium in the diet, not less.  It is because of this misconception that the authors of the study were predisposed to attack calcium supplements.

You must remember that this is just one study and there are literally thousands of studies that dispute the results (just read my books) so you can  bet that the drug industry played a role in the deceit.

Calcium alkalizes the body flooding it with oxygen and thereby preventing diseases such as cancer, heart disease, Lupus, fibromyalgia, etc.

Recently one vitamin has caused a frenzy of activity in the press and among anti-aging practitioners around the world.

Beware of the lie that may be hiding in your vitamin d supplement…

Until recently, vitamin D was recommended for bone health and nothing more.  New and exciting breakthrough studies have revealed the almost miracle benefits of this one simple vitamin.

Heart health, blood pressure, prostate health, colon health—vitamin D’s power is proving to be amazing!

As a Chemist and Researcher who has been teaching the benefits of vitamin D3 for over 30 years, Bob Barefoot is troubled by some of today’s vitamin D supplements. If you’re taking your vitamin D, you must be sure of one thing…

There’s a good chance your “D” is not what it is cracked up to and it’s not providing you with the health benefits you need and deserve.

There are two forms of vitamin D that the human body can synthesize and use…

One is the anti-aging and health miracle being researched and written about in medical journals around the world…The other is cheap, ineffective and was deemed nearly worthless by the esteemed Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

The dirty secret is that the useless form is sometimes used by supplements and often used by pricey prescription pills!

Vitamin D2 is often used in supplements and prescription pills because…it’s dirt cheap.

Vitamin D3, however, is as premium as it gets.  In fact, scientists at Creighton University and Medical University of South Carolina proved with a controlled, double-blind study that revealed vitamin D3 is 300% more effective than D2.

You see, scientists noted that both forms raised vitamin D blood serum levels, but while vitamin D2 reached its peak and peetered out in just 3 days, vitamin D3 kept on climbing the charts and didn’t peak for 14 days! Even better, D3 maintained high blood serum levels for the entire study, while D2 plummeted down the charts after its peak.

If vitamin D3 is that much more Effective and Powerful and is the form that’s being used in these incredible studies, why are some supplements using this worthless alternative?

Frankly, because they’re only looking at the almighty dollar and not really concerned for your health.

Bob’s Best Vitamin D3 5000 iu is the highest quality supplement you deserve!

The same POWERFUL form used in these groundbreaking studies. The results to these eye-opening studies are streaming in daily. What is the one thing they all have in common?

They’re all about vitamin D3—that’s the only form you need!

• The Journal of Clinical Investigation reports D3 may play a pivotal role in helping keep your blood pressure healthy.

• The Archives of Internal Medicine reveals the strong connection between D3 and your cardiovascular health.

• An 18-year study performed at the Harvard School of Medicine surveyed over 14,000 men and revealed the healthy relation between proper prostate health and vitamin D levels.

And that’s just a few of the groundbreaking studies…

Don’t let time pass you by; you have nothing to loose but quality life and greater health.

Why Calcium? Why Vitamin D3?

Every time we turn on the radio we hear that calcium is good for you.  All foods are being stuffed with calcium.  Television is also full of the same advertising telling us that calcium is good for us, but no one will tell us why, other than it makes us healthy.  But how??? And Why???

Also, if indeed calcium is so good for us, then its biological partner, Vitamin d,  must be just as good, but no one has been extolling the virtues of vitamin d until just recently.  One thing for sure is that the American public needs to be told in simple terms why and how these nutrients make us healthy and how low vitamin d is causing us great harm.

The answer, ironically, is indeed simple.  First, there is more calcium in the human body than any other mineral.  It is involved in hundreds of biological functions crucial to life.  Excess calcium is stored in the bones to replenish calcium levels when the body is calcium deficient in order to perform its crucial biological functions.  However, to maintain health, this bone calcium must be replaced, and unfortunately, calcium is one of the hardest minerals for the body to absorb.  So where should you get your calcium?

Of course in the beginning it is mother’s milk from which much of her immunity to disease is also transferred to the infant.  Then, because we are not animals who will eat bushels of calcium rich grass, most of us get our calcium from cows’ milk but as we get older we drink less and less milk and many of us shy away from dairy products, meaning that our bones slowly become depleted in calcium.

But that is not all that happens.  When the body has adequate calcium, it has an ability to ward off disease and to maintain youth.  Wow!! That is a big claim and fortunately, it has all been proven by the scientific community, as can  be seen in the chapter on scientific quotations in Bob’s book called Barefoot on Vitamin D.

The human intestine is lined with human vitamin d receptors known as VDR’s.  These VDR’s are also present in the bone and kidney as well as in the parathyroid glands.  When the VDR’s are full of vitamin-D (about 5000 iu of vitamin d is required for this) then the intestine is capable of absorbing 2000% more calcium.  “VDR’s are also found in the melanoma cells, breast carcinoma cells and osteo-sarcoma cells where vitamin d inhibits the proliferation of cancer as well as in the pancreas where vitamin d enhances the production of insulin; in the heart muscle where vitamin d enhances ventricular contractility; and in many other organs where it plays a crucial biological role.”  The American Public must be made aware of the 1-2 punch provided by the biological Partners Calcium and Vitamin D and the scientific fact that they must be taken in conjunction with one another.

Bob recommends the use of three Bobs Best Coral Calcium 2000 and 3 of his Bobs Best Vitamin D3.
