Drinkables® Introduces Liquid Coral Calcium

FORT WORTH, Texas – Drinkables® Coral Calcium has been added to the Drinkables® line of liquid nutritional supplements. The coral calcium is mined from marine coral beds in Okinawa, Japan, where the calcium is more porous and therefore more absorbable and bioavailable.

“Because we are offering Coral Calcium in a liquid form, we believe the formulation will send the key ingredients into the blood stream more quickly than a solid pill, tablet or capsule,” says William Steele IV, president of Remington Health Products, LLC, which produces the Drinkables® liquid nutritional supplements. “And by selling Drinkables® Coral Calcium through conveniently located retailers, we are making it easier for everyone to have access to important nutritional supplements.”

In addition to calcium from coral sources, the new Drinkables® product includes 70 trace minerals plus Vitamin D, which helps to regulate calcium in the body. The pleasant-tasting vanilla flavored Drinkables® Coral Calcium is carried in grocery stores, drug stores and mass merchandise retail outlets including Wal-Mart.

Steele says the liquid formulation offers several benefits.

“First, some people have difficulty swallowing larger pills and capsules,” he says. “With our liquid formulation, anyone can ingest a complete day’s serving of coral calcium without having to choke down pills.”

He adds consumers do not have to take Drinkables® Coral Calcium with liquids or food to ensure it is fully absorbed.

“In addition, the absorbability and bioavailability are high,” Steele points out. “Depending on the manufacturing process, pills and tablets often do not dissolve quickly, so the supplements may not be able to move into the bloodstream before being excreted by the digestive system. With a liquid, the supplement can move directly from the stomach into the bloodstream.”

Drinkables® Coral Calcium is the second Drinkables® calcium product. The line also includes Calcium 3, a combination of three types of calcium designed to be absorbed quickly so it can deliver the maximum amount of calcium to the bones.

All Drinkables® liquid nutritional supplements are created by food technologists as well as research and development laboratories to ensure the formulations provide all the recommended supplements in each dose. The Drinkables® products are complex liquids that combine the most beneficial amounts of supplements, while offering a pleasing taste and a convenient delivery method.

The Drinkables® product line includes a variety of liquid nutritional supplements. These products, offered in a highly absorbable liquid form, provide large amounts of key supplements in each dose. They are among the first liquid supplements to be sold in grocery stores, drug stores and mass-merchant retail locations. Other Drinkables® supplements include liquid joint care, liquid calcium and liquid multi-vitamins for seniors. For more information, visit the Drinkables® web site at www.drinkables.com.
