When Was The Original Coral Calcium Discovered?
More than 500 years ago, Spanish explorers recognized the benefits of coral sand, the original coral calcium. The explorers returned to Spain from what is now Okinawa with ships filled with coral sand and introduced coral calcium to Western culture.
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.
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.
