Coral calcium is a salt of calcium derived from fossilized coral reefs. Because living coral reefs are endangered and cannot be harvested without severe damage to the ecosystem, coral calcium is harvested by grinding up above-ground limestone deposits that were once part of a coral reef.

Coral calcium itself is composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) with small amounts of magnesium and other trace minerals. Chemically, calcium carbonate from coral sources is no different than from other sources of calcium, despite the claims otherwise by some companies. However, the addition of trace minerals, which may be dietary deficient in a person, could explain why some claim benefits of coral calcium over more refined sources of calcium supplements.

Coral Calcium and Robert Barefoot 

Robert Barefoot (Bare foot to some) published a book called The Calcium Factor in 1991 that suggests that Coral Calcium contains amazing healing properties. The fact is that the calcium component of coral calcium is no different that the calcium you would find from eating leafy greens grown in the mid-west. However, it is true that coral calcium supplements contain trace minerals that "normal" calcium supplements do not contain. It is because of these trace minerals that some, with nutrtitional deficiencies of such minerals may experience benefits in their health when taking such products.
