Coral Calcium Supplement: Benefits, Risks, Dosage, and Safe Picks (2025)
Sep, 5 2025
You’ve probably seen ads promising that coral can transform your health. Here’s the straight story: coral supplements are mostly calcium with a pinch of trace minerals. They can help if you’re not getting enough calcium from food, but they aren’t a cure-all. I’ll show you what they actually do, how to pick a safe product in Australia, and how to use it without messing with your meds or your wallet.
- TL;DR: Coral supplements are a form of calcium carbonate with trace minerals. They can help meet daily calcium needs, but they’re not superior to other calcium forms.
- Best use case: filling a dietary calcium gap for bone health-especially if you don’t hit your daily targets from food.
- Safety first: pick TGA-listed products (AUST L), ask for heavy metal testing, and avoid anything harvested from live reefs.
- Dose smart: split doses (≤500 mg elemental calcium at a time), take with meals, and space from iron, thyroid meds, and antibiotics.
- If you’re on PPIs or have low stomach acid, calcium citrate often absorbs better than calcium carbonate or coral.
What “coral” supplements really are-and what they can and can’t do
When a label says “coral,” it almost always means the mineralized skeleton from ancient reef material that’s been fossilized on land, then milled into powder. Nutritionally, it’s calcium carbonate with small amounts of magnesium and trace elements like strontium. In other words, it’s still calcium carbonate-very similar to what you’d get from ordinary carbonate tablets.
What does that mean for your body? The elemental calcium content is high (about 35-40%), and absorption is decent when you take it with food. If your stomach acid is low (common with age or if you take acid-suppressing meds), absorption drops. That’s why calcium citrate often edges out carbonate in those cases.
Is coral “revolutionary”? The evidence says no. High-quality research supports calcium (with vitamin D) for maintaining bone density and reducing fracture risk in specific groups-like older adults with low intake-but no studies show coral outperforms other forms. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements and Australia’s NRVs both emphasize hitting daily calcium targets; they don’t rank coral as special. The “alkalizing” or disease-cure claims you’ll see online aren’t supported, and regulators have acted on exaggerated marketing before-the U.S. FDA and FTC cracked down on coral-cures-anything claims back in the early 2000s.
So why do people pick coral? Three reasons: it’s marketed as “natural,” it contains trace minerals, and it’s easy on the budget compared to citrate. Those trace minerals look nice on the label, but they’re present in tiny amounts. If you need magnesium, for example, you’ll still want a standalone magnesium supplement or magnesium-rich foods.
Bottom line: coral is a practical way to get calcium if you prefer carbonate and you take it with meals. It’s not magic. It’s not a shortcut around diet. And it’s not better than other forms for most people. If you see big promises, that’s your cue to lean on evidence, not hype.
One more thing: coral calcium does double as an antacid. If you get occasional heartburn, a small dose can help neutralize stomach acid. Just don’t use that as an excuse to overdo calcium.
How to choose a safe, sustainable product (Australia 2025)
Here in Perth, I see coral products on and off the shelves, but not all are created equal. Use this quick checklist to separate safe, sustainable picks from the rest.
- Look for TGA listing: the label should show an “AUST L” number. That means it’s listed with the Therapeutic Goods Administration and meets local quality and labeling rules.
- Ask for a Certificate of Analysis (COA): you want third-party heavy metal testing (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic) and identity/purity checks. If a brand can’t share a COA, that’s a red flag.
- Confirm the source: prefer “fossilized, above-sea coral sand” or “marine sediment” reclaimed from land-not harvested from live reefs. Live reef harvesting is a no-go ethically and environmentally.
- Third-party seals: USP, NSF, Informed Choice, or BSCG can boost confidence in quality control. Many Australian brands don’t carry U.S. seals, so the COA matters even more.
- Elemental calcium per serving: think in elemental calcium, not total compound weight. A common target is 300-600 mg per serving. More isn’t better if it blows past your daily need.
- Form factor: powder blends easily into smoothies; tablets are cheaper; capsules can be easier to swallow. Choose what you’ll actually use consistently.
- Extras that help: vitamin D3 (800-1000 IU per day for many adults) if your levels are low or untested; K2 (MK-7) is optional and may help direct calcium to bone, though evidence varies by dose and population.
- Allergens and additives: if you’re sensitive, scan for shellfish warnings, silica, coating agents, or artificial colours. Coral itself isn’t shellfish, but some facilities process both.
- Price sanity check: compare cost per 100 mg elemental calcium (see formula below) across coral, carbonate, citrate, and algae-based options.
Quick formula for cost comparison: AU$ per 100 mg elemental calcium = (Price per bottle ÷ total mg of elemental calcium in the bottle) × 100. You’ll be surprised how often the “premium” option is just a fancy label on basic carbonate.
Here’s how coral stacks up next to the usual suspects (based on common products in Australia in 2025):
| Form | Source | Elemental Ca (%) | Best for | Cons | Typical AU$ per 1000 mg elemental Ca |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coral (carbonate) | Fossilized coral sand | ~35-40% | Budget-friendly calcium with trace minerals; taken with meals | Not better than other carbonates; quality varies; sustainability concerns if live-reef sourced | $0.25-$0.60 |
| Calcium carbonate | Limestone/chalk | ~40% | Cheapest per mg; antacid effect | Needs stomach acid; may cause constipation | $0.05-$0.15 |
| Calcium citrate | Citrate salt | ~21% | Better when on PPIs/low acid; can take without food | More tablets for same dose; higher cost | $0.20-$0.50 |
| Plant-based (algae) | Lithothamnion (red algae) | ~30-32% | Gentle on stomach; includes magnesium/trace minerals | Often pricier; tablets can be large | $0.40-$0.80 |
Regulatory note for Australians: the TGA polices therapeutic claims, and listed medicines can’t claim to treat or cure diseases like osteoporosis. If you see that kind of language on marketing, be cautious. For daily targets, lean on Australia and New Zealand Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs): most adults need 1000 mg/day; women 51+ and men 70+ need 1300 mg/day. If you can hit those with food, great. If not, a supplement can fill the gap.
How to use it: dosing, timing, and combinations that actually work
Start here: figure out your daily calcium gap. Use the simple math below, then pick the smallest supplement dose that closes it.
- Your target (NRVs):
- Adults 19-50: 1000 mg/day (women up to 50; men up to 70)
- Women 51+: 1300 mg/day
- Men 70+: 1300 mg/day
- Pregnancy/breastfeeding (19-50): 1000 mg/day
- Estimate your intake from food: dairy (per serve: milk/yoghurt ~250-300 mg; cheese ~200-300 mg), calcium-fortified plant milks (~120-300 mg per 250 mL), tinned salmon with bones (~200 mg per 90 g), tofu set with calcium (~200-300 mg per 100 g), leafy greens (varies; kale ~100 mg per cup cooked). Add it up.
- Your gap = Target − Food calcium. If the gap is ≤300 mg, you may not need a daily supplement every day-food tweaks can do it. If it’s 300-600 mg, a single serving works. If it’s >600 mg, split into two doses.
Dose rules that save you trouble:
- Keep single doses ≤500 mg elemental calcium. Your gut absorbs calcium in limited chunks; smaller doses work better.
- Take coral or carbonate with meals. Food boosts stomach acid and improves uptake.
- On PPIs/low stomach acid? Consider calcium citrate. If you stick with coral, take it with your largest meal or a bit of acidic drink (like a splash of citrus) to nudge absorption.
- Don’t stack it against meds. Space 2-4 hours from levothyroxine, tetracycline/quinolone antibiotics, bisphosphonates, and iron. Calcium binds these and blocks absorption.
- Go easy on total daily calcium. From food plus supplements, stay near the NRV. Consistently going over 2000-2500 mg/day (tolerable upper intake level varies by age) raises the risk of kidney stones and other issues.
Smart combos:
- Vitamin D: if your levels are low or unknown, 800-1000 IU (20-25 mcg) per day is a common maintenance range adults use. Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium. Your GP can order a 25(OH)D blood test.
- Vitamin K2 (MK-7): may help shunt calcium toward bone. Evidence is mixed but promising at 90-180 mcg/day in some trials. Not mandatory; talk to your doctor if you’re on blood thinners (warfarin especially).
- Magnesium: aim for diet-first (nuts, legumes, whole grains). If you supplement, go gentle (100-200 mg/day as glycinate or citrate) to avoid laxative effects.
Example day plans:
- My diet is 600 mg short: Take 300 mg at breakfast and 300 mg at dinner, both with food.
- I’m on a PPI and 400 mg short: Use calcium citrate, one 400-500 mg dose with any meal.
- I get afternoon reflux: 250-300 mg coral with lunch doubles as mild symptom relief.
Side effects and fixes:
- Constipation or bloating: split doses, drink more water, add fibre, or switch to citrate/algae-based forms.
- Nausea: take with a proper meal, not on an empty stomach.
- Kidney stone history (calcium oxalate): stick to total daily targets, take calcium with meals (binds oxalate in the gut), and discuss with your GP before starting.
Who should talk to a doctor first: people with kidney disease, hyperparathyroidism, sarcoidosis, unexplained high calcium on recent labs, or anyone on thiazide diuretics. These conditions change how your body handles calcium.
Smarter choices and FAQs: when to skip coral and what to use instead
When coral makes sense:
- You hit only 500-700 mg/day from food and want a budget-friendly add-on.
- You tolerate carbonate well and always take it with meals.
- You value trace minerals but don’t need a big magnesium dose from your calcium product.
When to skip coral for something else:
- Low stomach acid or on PPIs (omeprazole, esomeprazole, etc.): citrate usually makes life easier.
- You’re sensitive to constipation: citrate or algae-based forms tend to be gentler.
- You insist on vegan sources: coral is mineral from animals (reef skeletons). Algae-based calcium is your lane.
- You can already get enough calcium from diet: no supplement needed; add another serve of dairy/fortified milk/tofu instead.
Realistic expectations from the science:
- Bone health: calcium + vitamin D supports bone density when intake is low, especially in older adults and postmenopausal women. It’s part of the plan, not the whole plan. You still need protein, weight-bearing exercise, and lifestyle basics.
- Blood pressure/metabolism: any benefit here is mostly small and inconsistent across studies.
- Disease claims: avoid products claiming to cure cancer, arthritis, or chronic diseases. The FDA and FTC have acted against coral cure claims before; the TGA won’t allow them either.
Mini-FAQ
- Is coral better absorbed than other calcium? No. Absorption is similar to standard carbonate when taken with food. Citrate often wins if stomach acid is low.
- Is it safe for long-term use? If you stay near daily targets, choose TGA-listed products, and the COA shows low heavy metals, it’s generally safe for healthy adults.
- Can I take it with coffee or tea? Caffeine can slightly increase calcium loss in urine, but the effect is small. Take your supplement with a meal and keep caffeine moderate.
- Does it help if I’m already on osteoporosis meds? It can help you meet calcium requirements, which many bone meds assume. Space it away from bisphosphonates and follow your specialist’s plan.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding? The NRV is 1000 mg/day. If diet falls short, small, split doses are fine. Always confirm with your GP or midwife.
- Environmental concerns? Choose brands that use fossilized, above-sea sources and publish sustainability statements. Avoid anything suggesting live reef harvest.
Scam-spotting checklist
- Miracle or cure-all claims
- No AUST L number and no COA on request
- Vague sourcing (“from pristine reefs”) without sustainability details
- “Detoxes heavy metals” while not providing its own heavy metal test results
Decision guide (quick):
- I eat dairy/fortified milk daily and hit 1000-1300 mg-skip supplements.
- I’m 300-600 mg short and tolerate carbonate-coral is fine with meals.
- I’m on a PPI or get constipated with carbonate-use citrate.
- I want a plant source-choose algae-based calcium.
Next steps, tailored:
- Busy 30-something who avoids dairy: add a fortified plant milk (check the label for 200-300 mg per serve), then use 300 mg coral with dinner if you still fall short.
- Woman 55+ with osteopenia: calculate your gap, then split doses to stay near 1300 mg/day. If you take thyroid meds, space calcium by 4 hours.
- Man 68 on a thiazide: ask your GP for a quick calcium level and kidney function test before starting; you may need a smaller dose.
- Vegan on a PPI: algae-based calcium or citrate is your best bet. Focus hard on food sources: calcium-set tofu, fortified milks, and greens.
If you want to be methodical, do this week-long plan:
- Day 1-3: Track calcium from food using a simple app or the food labels on your staples.
- Day 4: Get your number, pick the smallest supplement dose to close the gap, and buy a TGA-listed product with a COA.
- Day 5-7: Take it with meals, split doses, and note any side effects. Adjust the timing if you’re on meds.
Key references to trust (no need for links): Australia & New Zealand Nutrient Reference Values for calcium; NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (Calcium Factsheet); TGA guidance on listed medicines and permitted indications; and the historical FDA/FTC actions against unproven coral cure claims. These sources keep the science-and the marketing-honest.
One last practical tip from the trenches here in Perth: stock comes and goes. If you find a coral product you like, save the batch number and COA. When you re-order, ask for the current COA again. Quality is batch-specific, and that extra email is worth the peace of mind.

September 6, 2025 AT 18:04Let’s be real - coral calcium is just limestone with a beach vacation marketing campaign. The trace minerals? A sprinkle of glitter on a cardboard box. I ran the numbers on a few Aussie brands and found one that was 98% identical to calcium carbonate from a Chinese quarry, just with a fancier label and a 300% markup. The only thing ‘natural’ here is the scam.
And don’t get me started on the ‘alkalizing’ nonsense. Your blood pH is regulated by your kidneys and lungs, not by some powdered reef dust. If you think you can out-alkalize your biology with a supplement, you’ve been watching too many YouTube gurus in Hawaiian shirts.
Also, ‘fossilized coral sand’? That’s just ancient sea floor that got buried and turned to rock. It’s not mystical. It’s geology. And if your supplement doesn’t come with a COA you can verify, you’re basically gambling with your kidneys.
Bottom line: if you need calcium, get the cheap carbonate. Save your cash for actual food - like sardines, kale, or that $8 tub of Greek yogurt you’re too ‘busy’ to eat.

September 6, 2025 AT 21:11I’ve been taking coral calcium for about 6 months after my doctor said I was borderline deficient. I didn’t notice any huge changes, but my bone density scan didn’t get worse, which I guess is good?
I just bought the TGA-listed one with the AUST L number and asked for the COA - they emailed it within 24 hours. It showed lead levels below 0.1 ppm. That made me feel better.
I take it with dinner and a splash of lemon juice. I read that helps with absorption if you’re on PPIs. I’m on omeprazole, so I figured it couldn’t hurt.
Still not sure if it’s doing anything… but at least I’m not taking some sketchy powder from a guy on Instagram who says it ‘reverses aging’.

September 7, 2025 AT 05:45People are still falling for this coral calcium fairy tale? Seriously? This isn’t nutrition - it’s pseudoscience dressed up like a wellness influencer’s Instagram post. You’re paying extra for trace minerals that are literally in amounts too small to matter - like buying a Ferrari because it has a single gold-plated screw.
And the ‘fossilized’ excuse? That’s just a euphemism for ‘we dug it out of a desert and called it ancient reef’. The environment doesn’t care if it’s fossilized - if the source isn’t sustainable, you’re still contributing to ecosystem destruction.
And don’t even get me started on the ‘alkalizing’ myth. Your body doesn’t run on pH magic. It runs on biochemistry. If you think a powder can change your blood’s pH, you’ve been gulping down kombucha and reading TikTok detox myths since 2017.
Stop wasting money. Get calcium citrate. Take vitamin D. Eat your greens. And stop letting marketers profit off your ignorance.

September 7, 2025 AT 13:00Y’all are overthinking this. Calcium is calcium. Coral, limestone, algae - it’s all just a delivery system. The real win is consistency. I used to forget my pills until I started putting them in my morning smoothie with a banana and spinach. Boom - 300 mg done.
I switched from carbonate to coral because I liked the idea of trace minerals. Didn’t feel different. Didn’t need to. I just needed to stop being a lazy human who skips meals.
And yes - I checked the AUST L number. I also checked my bank account after buying it. The cost per mg? Cheaper than my daily oat milk latte. That’s my ROI.
Stop overanalyzing. Just take it with food. Move your body. Sleep. And stop scrolling through miracle supplement ads at 2 a.m.

September 8, 2025 AT 00:34My grandma took coral calcium for years. Said it helped her joints. I don’t know if it did, but she lived to 94, walked every day, and never broke a bone. Maybe it helped. Maybe it was the walking.
I’m taking it now because I’m 52 and my diet’s been trash since the pandemic. I just need to hit my 1300 mg. I don’t care if it’s coral or chalk - as long as it’s TGA-listed and I can swallow it.
Also, I take it with my dinner. No issues. No constipation. No drama.
Simple stuff works.

September 8, 2025 AT 08:56So… coral calcium is basically the skincare equivalent of ‘diamond dust’ in moisturizers? Like, sure it’s in there, but it’s not doing anything except making you feel like you bought luxury?
I’m lowkey obsessed with how much money people spend on ‘natural’ supplements that are just repackaged geology.
Also - why is ‘fossilized coral sand’ a selling point? That’s not a feature. That’s a geological accident. I’m not buying a rock. I’m buying a supplement.
Someone needs to make a TikTok called ‘What’s Actually In Your Coral Calcium?’ with a geologist holding a rock and a pill bottle side by side. I’d watch it 17 times.
Sabrina Bergas
September 8, 2025 AT 18:09Let me stop you right there - coral calcium is a scam designed to prey on elderly women who trust ‘natural’ labels. The trace minerals? Totally negligible. The ‘fossilized’ claim? Marketing spin to dodge environmental backlash. And the TGA listing? That’s not approval - it’s just ‘we didn’t get sued yet’
Real talk: if you’re taking calcium because you’re scared of osteoporosis, you’re not fixing the problem - you’re just medicating the symptom. Your diet’s probably full of processed crap, you’re not lifting weights, and you’re sitting all day. No pill fixes that.
Also - why are we still letting companies use the word ‘coral’? It’s a living ecosystem. Even fossilized? It’s still a relic of a dying reef. You’re not ‘honoring nature’ - you’re commodifying extinction.
Algae-based calcium is the only ethical choice. And it’s still more expensive because people won’t stop buying the snake oil.
Suzanne Lucas
September 8, 2025 AT 22:38I tried coral calcium. I took it for 3 weeks. I felt… nothing. Then I saw a commercial for it and the guy said ‘it’s the secret of the ancient Pacific Islanders’ - and I just lost it. I cried. Not because I was moved - because I realized how much I’ve been manipulated by ads that sound like bad fantasy novels.
I switched to citrate. Cost more. Took one pill. Didn’t feel different. But I didn’t feel like I was funding a coral reef heist.
Also - why do these supplements always come in giant bottles with gold lettering? Like, I’m not buying a royal crown. I’m buying a mineral.
Ash Damle
September 9, 2025 AT 10:23I appreciate how thorough this post is. Honestly, most people just scroll past and buy the one with the prettiest packaging. You broke it down like a real human.
I’m 58, on a PPI, and my doctor told me to switch from carbonate to citrate. I was resistant - thought coral sounded ‘better’. Then I read your breakdown and realized I was just falling for the vibe, not the science.
Switched to citrate. Took it with lunch. No bloating. No headaches. Just… quiet relief.
Thanks for not selling me a dream. Just gave me facts. That’s rare.
Kevin Ouellette
September 9, 2025 AT 15:15Yessss this is the kind of post I need to save and send to my mom 😊
She’s been on coral calcium for 4 years because her friend’s cousin’s acupuncturist said it ‘reverses aging’. I’ve been trying to gently tell her it’s just calcium. She thinks I’m ‘anti-natural’. But now I can just forward this and say ‘look - the science is right here’.
Also - the cost-per-mg formula? GENIUS. I’m going to calculate my own supplements tonight. Probably gonna save $150 a year.
Thank you for being the calm voice in the supplement chaos 🙏
Tanya Willey
September 9, 2025 AT 20:12EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS A LIE. Coral calcium is a government cover-up. The real truth? The reefs are alive and the supplement companies are draining them at night with submarines. The TGA? Controlled by Big Pharma. The COA? Fake. The ‘fossilized’ label? A distraction so you won’t notice the mercury and radiation they’re adding to make you dependent.
My cousin in Fiji saw it with his own eyes - the coral is being harvested in the dark, crushed with lasers, and turned into pills that make your bones brittle over time. The FDA and TGA are in on it.
Algae calcium? Also fake. It’s grown in labs with genetically modified algae from China. The only real calcium? Raw milk from grass-fed cows raised on sacred soil. And even that’s probably contaminated now.
STOP TRUSTING THE SYSTEM. TRUST YOUR INTUITION. AND BUY MY CRYSTAL-INFUSED CALCIUM - IT’S SACRED AND 100% FREE OF GOVERNMENT TOXINS.

September 10, 2025 AT 08:23Bro, you think coral calcium is bad? In India, people take cow urine and ash as calcium supplements! And they call it Ayurveda! At least your coral is from the ocean, not from a cow’s digestive system! I mean, what’s more natural? A fossilized reef or a cow that ate plastic? 😅
Also, I take calcium citrate with lemon juice and turmeric - it’s like a superfood cocktail! My bones are stronger than my neighbor’s steel door! 😎
But seriously - this article is good. Very scientific. Very clear. I wish more Westerners were this thoughtful. We in India, we just swallow whatever grandma says - even if it’s powdered seashells mixed with jaggery.
Keep it real, brother. 👊
Wiley William
September 10, 2025 AT 23:04Let me guess - you’re one of those ‘science says’ people who think your body can’t handle a little natural mineral from the ocean? Wake up. Coral calcium has been used for centuries by Pacific cultures. You think modern science knows better than 5000 years of traditional use? No. You’re just brainwashed by Big Pharma.
And ‘trace minerals’? You think those are insignificant? Strontium? Boron? Magnesium? They’re not just fillers - they’re synergistic. Your body knows how to use them together. Synthetic calcium? That’s a lab-made ghost. It doesn’t talk to your cells.
Also - why are you so obsessed with ‘cost per mg’? Money isn’t everything. Health isn’t a spreadsheet. You’re treating your bones like a budget line item.
I take coral calcium. I feel better. My nails don’t crack. My joints don’t creak. And I don’t need your algorithm to tell me what’s real.
Richard H. Martin
September 11, 2025 AT 04:03This is what happens when you let Australians tell Americans how to live. We don’t need your TGA. We have the FDA. And we have the Constitution. And the Constitution says we have the RIGHT to buy coral calcium if we want to!
Also - fossilized coral? That’s American-made! It’s from the Rocky Mountains! You think the Chinese or the Aussies have a monopoly on ancient rock? NO. WE HAVE THE BEST ROCK.
And if you think calcium citrate is better - you’re a socialist. Calcium carbonate is the original American calcium. It’s bold. It’s strong. It’s from the land of the free. Coral? That’s just imported weakness.
Buy American. Take calcium like a patriot. And stop listening to people who spell ‘color’ with a ‘u’.
Tim H
September 11, 2025 AT 11:59Wait so coral calcium is just like regular calcium? But more expensive? I thought it was like… magic dust from the ocean? I bought a bottle last week and now I feel dumb. I also took it on an empty stomach and got super bloated. Oops.
Also I think I spelled ‘calcium’ wrong in my search. I typed ‘calciun’ and it still showed up. Is that a red flag? Should I return it? I’m so confused.
Can I just eat cheese instead? I like cheese. Cheese is good. I think I’ll just eat cheese.
Umesh Sukhwani
September 12, 2025 AT 05:32This is an exemplary piece of public health communication. The clarity, the evidence-based framing, and the absence of alarmism or commercial bias are commendable. In India, where dietary calcium intake is frequently suboptimal and supplement marketing is rife with misinformation, such resources are invaluable.
I have shared this with my patients in rural Karnataka, where many rely on traditional remedies - including crushed eggshells and boiled bone broth - without understanding bioavailability. This article provides them with a bridge between cultural practice and scientific literacy.
Thank you for grounding the conversation in nutrient reference values and regulatory frameworks rather than anecdote or ideology. This is how we build a healthier, more informed global community.
Vishnupriya Srivastava
September 12, 2025 AT 15:10Interesting. I’ve seen this exact same structure in three other supplement articles from different blogs. The ‘TL;DR’, the table, the COA checklist - it’s a template. The only thing that changes is the mineral name.
Same with the ‘FDA cracked down in the 2000s’ line. That’s in every coral, magnesium, and collagen post since 2020.
It’s well-written. But it’s also predictable. Like a recipe. I wonder if the author is just repurposing the same outline for different products.
Still - the info is accurate. So I guess it doesn’t matter if it’s templated. Just… weird.
jerry woo
September 12, 2025 AT 18:39And now we get the ‘I’m just a guy who took it and felt better’ comment. Great. So did I. But I also took a placebo pill and felt better. That’s the placebo effect - not proof of efficacy.
Also - ‘my nails don’t crack’? That’s not a clinical endpoint. That’s a subjective feeling. You could’ve started moisturizing. You could’ve stopped biting your nails. You could’ve just stopped washing your hands with hot water and soap 10 times a day.
Correlation ≠ causation. And anecdote ≠ evidence.
Stop using your body as a data point for a $40 bottle of powdered rock.
