SUMMARY
MSKCC integrative-medicine reference page, fetched directly (2026-07-10; page states "Last Updated Wednesday, January 5, 2022"). States directly: "Coral calcium has not been shown to treat or prevent cancer, and is not superior to other forms of calcium supplements," and "there is no evidence that these supplements are any better than typical calcium supplements available at lower cost." Also notes the FTC's action prohibiting coral-calcium marketers from disease treatment/cure claims, and that an independent testing company found some calcium supplements (not specific to coral calcium) contain excess lead.
NOTES
An institutional (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center) evidence-based reference confirming, independent of the FTC’s regulatory finding, that coral calcium has no established cancer-treatment or -prevention effect and is not superior in bioavailability to ordinary calcium supplements. Cited alongside the FTC record so the case’s general chemistry/evidence claim about coral calcium does not rest solely on the enforcement record.
