Sango coral: Mineral-rich supplement from Okinawa

Off Okinawa lies a limestone and coral reef area from which fossil Sango corals are extracted. The powder produced from this is regarded as a natural source of minerals with a broad spectrum of elements. PuraVita's Sango marine coral powder focuses on high purity and gentle processing to specifically supplement the diet.

What characterises Sango coral powder?

Balanced ratio of calcium and magnesium:

• Approximately 24% calcium and around 11.5% magnesium give a ratio of roughly 2:1.
• Calcium contributes to normal bone and tooth function; magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to the normal function of the nervous system.
• The 2:1 ratio is considered favourable, as it may promote their joint absorption and utilisation in the body.
  

Broad spectrum of minerals

In addition to the main minerals, numerous trace elements are present, including zinc, copper and iron. These elements are involved in diverse metabolic processes and can support general vitality.

Origin and extraction:

• Fossil, long-dead coral deposits off Okinawa are used; living reefs remain untouched.
• Only raw materials with lab-confirmed, elevated magnesium content enter production.
• Extraction takes place in controlled zones at least 1 km off the coast and at depths of approximately 15 m or more.
• To ensure microbiological quality the material is sterilised and dried at approximately 180–200 °C.

Minerals from the island water

Precipitation percolates through the limestone and coral structures, taking up ionised minerals such as calcium, magnesium and trace elements. This naturally mineralised well water has traditionally been used on Okinawa and is associated with wellbeing.

Quality assurance:

• Each production batch is tested for purity, including tests for radioactive contamination.
• According to the available test protocols, the measured values were below the detection limits.
• Nutritional/physiological benefits of calcium and magnesium.

Nutritional properties

• Calcium contributes to normal blood clotting and to a normal energy metabolism
• Calcium contributes to normal muscle function and to normal signal transmission between nerve cells
• Calcium contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes and plays a role in cell division and cell differentiation
• Calcium and magnesium are needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth
• Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance and to a normal energy metabolism and has a role in cell division
• Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function
• Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to normal protein synthesis

Ingredients

100% Sango marine coral powder.

Recommended intake

3 x 1 measuring scoop (each 1 g) spread over the day (1 g corresponds to approx. 1/3 tsp), preferably allow to moisten in the mouth for 1 minute and then drink a glass of water, juice or tea, or stir into smoothies, drinks or muesli etc.
