Complete source of the elements and molecules directly used
by corals, clams, and other reef-building invertebrates and organisms to create skeletal material and grow
Provides calcium, strontium, magnesium, and potassium in
approximately the same ratios in which they occur in aragonite,
the mineral that is primarily secreted by reef-building marine
organisms under normal environmental conditions
Very strong source of carbonates, also involved in aragonite
formation; twice the calcium relative to carbonates compared
to natural aragonite
