The Secret of Longevity
In 1979, a British journalist from Guinness Book of Records went on an assignment to the islands of Okinawa and Tokumushima of the coast of Japan to interview Shigechiyo Izumi, the world's oldest documented living person. What he found was a man of 115 years old with remarkably good health and vitality, who had worked till the age of 105.
To his surprise the journalist discovered that Mr. Izumi was not alone in his situation. Most of the islands' inhabitants were physically fit, had low incidents of serious illness and enjoyed long lifespan. The journalist persuaded Mr. Isumi to submit a medical checkup. The results were even more amazing. How could a person of his age possibly be so healthy?
Soon, a team of researchers arrived and found that the islanders had one thing in common: the water they drank was different from water found anywhere in the world. But what exactly is in the Okinawa water that makes human beings stay healthy and live longer? People have tried to find the answer for decades but no significant progress had been made until recently.
The Paradox of Coral Calcium
Many coral calcium vendors have tried to connect coral calcium to the longevity of Okinawans.
The truth is coral calcium supplements are made directly ("uncut") from coral reefs. The only calcium source found in coral reefs is calcium carbonate, the same calcium compound that is easily found in other rocks and limestone, and has been available for commercial use for decades. What makes the calcium carbonate compound in coral calcium any different from that in other traditional calcium supplements?
The secret of long-life lies in the water of Okinawa, not the coral reefs that most coral calcium products are made from. After years of research scientists were able to identify the organic calcium compounds in the Okinawa water that are responsible for the good health of Okinawans. They are highly soluble organic calcium compounds created in the nature over thousands years evolution.
