Mineral
Supplements and Nutritional Products:
According
to nutrition experts, and documented by
testimony on the Congressional Record, a wide
variety of diseases are caused by or
exacerbated by vitamin and mineral
deficiencies. Heart disease and heart attacks
can be attributed to deficiency of selenium,
copper and calcium, strokes and ruptured
aortic aneurysm to deficiency of copper,
arthritis and bone diseases to a deficiency of
calcium and boron, mental depression and
hyperactivity to a deficiency of calcium,
hypoglycemia and fatigue to a deficiency of
chromium and vanadium, blood problems to a
deficiency of iron, neurological
irregularities to a deficiency of potassium
and magnesium, lack of bacterial resistance to
a deficiency of sulfur, and the list goes on.
If
you want to enhance your health and longevity,
you can’t depend solely on getting all your
nutritional requirements from the food you
consume, but should augment with vitamin and
mineral supplements. Farmers and ranchers have
understood for many decades that to have
viable agricultural operations, you must have
healthy, disease free animals. This is
primarily accomplished by supplementing into
their feed the vitamins and minerals that are
not already there. Veterinarians and farmers
know that when animals exhibit what is called
crib-biting and pica, where they chew fence
posts, barn doors, metal troughs, tin cans,
etc.; they are mineral deficient. The simple
cure is adding supplements to their diet.
Mankind
experiences the same symptoms, but we call it
snacking or having the munchies. Much of the
problem of obesity in the developed nations is
a direct result of mineral deficiencies, which
can cause a constant craving for those
nutrients that aren’t getting in their
diets. Mineral deficient people are always
hungry because their bodies are demanding
nutrition that they aren’t getting. Most
pre-packaged and "fast" foods supply
loads of calories, but little real nutrition
in the form of the vitamins and minerals
required to sustain a healthy living being.

Most
of our food producing soils have been long
depleted of the necessary minerals to sustain
a healthy, disease free life. We believe it is
necessary to augment our diets with those lost
minerals if we expect to life a long and
healthy life. Plant derived minerals are the
most beneficial and cost effective way to
accomplish this.
Rather
than being a solution of dissolved minerals or
ground up rock minerals, plant derived minerals
have been digested by plants and are suspended
in water having a negative electrical charge,
with each particle being hundreds or thousands
of times smaller than a metallic mineral, which
have a positive charge. Comparing plant derived
minerals to rock minerals is like comparing dust
to boulders.
Soil
derived or rock minerals are very difficult for
the body to absorb, but with plant derived
minerals, the plants have processed them into a
much more absorbable product. One ounce of plant
derived minerals may have a total surface area
of 750 acres, with multiple billions of
nanometer sized, electrically-charged particles
that are ready to be utilized by our bodies.
Additionally,
plant derived minerals are non-toxic because of
their plant source and their negative electrical
charge. For example, iodine is toxic in it’s
free form, but in colloidal form is an
absolutely essential element for good health.
According to nutrition experts plant derived
minerals have two key benefits. One, they
enhance the transport and bio-availability of
other nutrients gotten from foods and vitamins
and two, they attract toxins and heavy metals
and flush them from the system.
Plant
Derived Minerals are the most efficient, way for
our bodies to absorb life and health giving
elements because they are small enough in
particle size to get into the bloodstream and be
utilized at the cellular level. When we purchase
supplements, if we are not astute, we can
literally be throwing our money down the toilet.
Rock minerals pass through the digestive system
with a very low absorption level. At best only
5-15% of most rock minerals are utilized, but
with plant derived minerals, the absorption rate
is from 85-100%. So spend your money wisely.
