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.
It was so important in Spain that there are ancient historic monuments with shelves holding labeled clay pots filled with coral calcium. It seems that back then, the quest for good health was as important as it is 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.
According to this legend, though the explorers find the islands of Paradise, they did not return home as they found the life in the Paradise was too good for them to leave. That island was the land of eternal life! The legend further describes this new beautiful land of eternal life as having a coral base and pristine clear seas all around. The legend confirms that Province of Okinawa is the identified place and these people may have been the original coral calcium discoverers. So the coral calcium of today is perhaps the elixir of life that the Chinese emperor wanted to lay hand on.
For years people have been experiencing the benefits of consuming coral calcium. Its role in promoting good health was becoming known in many different countries. Coral calcium was being used by the people of mainland Japan by the 1900’s and was soon discovered by the people of China, Russia, Britian, Sweden, and France. Its popularity spread across the Atlantic to the United States and by the 1970’s the US was also using it as a dietary supplement.
The western world is increasingly recognizing the widespread health benefits of coral calcium. Though the original coral calcium use started hundreds of years ago, people’s lives all throughout the world have been , and are still being, transformed through the use of this dietary supplement.
