Coral calcium was introduced to the western culture some 500 years ago. Spanish explorers had “discovered” coral calcium in Okinawa and brought it back to Europe. These explorers had seen the beneficial effects of what was called the coral sand (the original coral calcium) on the people living on the coral islands. They brought ships full of this sand back to Spain so that the Spanish could benefit from the wondrous minerals.

If you look into historically preserved drugstores in Spain, you will still find antique clay pots bearing the coral calcium labels. These drugstores are actually revered as historic places today. As you can see, our ancestors were just as interested in health as we are today!

Chinese folklore and legends contain a story about a Chinese emperor who dispatched three thousand explorers to find the land of heaven on earth. Chinese then believed that the heaven on earth was called Horai and that it was located in the warm sea off the east cist of China. This Chinese emperor ordered his explorers to return with the life-sustaining tonic, known as the elixir of life or fountain of youth.

But luck or perseverance, the explorers found this magical place and it did have an elixir of life. The problem was that it was such a beautiful place and the elixir (the original coral calcium) so wonderful that none of the explorers wanted to return to the emperor with it! This island is only described in legend as the province of Okinawa, a coral based island in the midst of pristine, clear seas.

By the time 1900 rolled around, the coral calcium craze had reached Japan. Knowledge about the advantages of coral calcium spread to China, Russia, Sweden, France, and Britain. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that coral calcium became a dietary supplement in the US. Today, it is considered to be vital by some and there have even been studies showing that it can help prevent such major illnesses as cancer and heart disease.
