I'd be reluctant to use the "new big thing" as a strong selling point.
Particularly since coral reefs around the world are currently under a
lot of stress. Either "coral" is calcium carbonate -- in which case
taking limestone powder (or any other source of CaCO3 should do) or
it contains some micronutrients that could better be consumed in
precise doses of specific elements. Micronutrients may have very
specific deficit/benefit/harmful dose ranges and if you are consuming
"natural" products you may have no idea where within that range you fall.
This sounds like the whole "natural/green" mentality run wild with little
or no basis in science.
