Plant Based Trace Minerals
Much of the public is becoming aware of the importance of minerals in our diet however you would be amazed that there is still a segment of the market place that thinks of nutrition as only vitamins. Let’s get clear that without minerals in their proper form for human consumption outside of oxygen, we would die immediately. In other words if all the minerals were zapped out of your body by aliens you would die instantly. Yes, we need oxygen, water and nourishment but it is the lack of oxygen and minerals that would lead to our immediate demise. Minerals are the spark plug of life.
Now the next area of confusion comes around to the type of minerals we need. Think of this way if we could absorb our minerals from rocks we would be eating rocks. It only stands to reason that we need to get our 72 trace minerals from plants. There is often conflicting information about ionic versus colloidal minerals. The truth of the matter all minerals are ionic because all minerals have an electrical charge of positive or negative. Given the human physiology we need our minerals to have a negative charge to be highly absorbable. The good news is plant based colloidal ionic minerals are highly absorbable by humans and animals because plant based ionic minerals have a negative charge. This is why you want to look for organic versus inorganic minerals.
It is also very important that you receive a complete complement of 72 organic trace minerals for proper metabolism. You need to purchase products that have a complete array of nutrients in the appropriate proportions.
You may be asking why can’t I get all the minerals I need from the food I eat. If you went back a hundred years or more that would have been true but because of modern farming practices of over farming our soils and the use of pesticides which destroy our soils natural flora of friendly organisms which leave our soils close to dead. When you destroy the natural flora of the soil by eliminating the friendly organisms, you inhibit the soils ability to break down the minerals in the clay and dirt. Most farmers only replace 3-7 minerals in their soils, which can produce a beautiful plant however be devoid of the 72 trace minerals that we need for optimal health.
There was an Senate Document 264 issued in June 1936 outlining the demise of the health of our soils. You can only imagine what our soils are like today.
It is no surprise that we are seeing a dramatic increase in auto-immune issues and chronic illnesses. Poor nutrition creates an environment for opportunistic viruses and bacteria to take hold of any living organism.
Another benefit of supplementation of 72 plant based ionic minerals is the ability for these minerals to naturally remove out heavy metals out of the fat cells. Mineral supplements using fulvic acid increase the absorption levels of the plant based minerals. Again, you are looking for products that are well formulated. The product must deliver the proper levels of vitamins, major minerals, trace minerals, fatty acids, in other words a full spectrum program. We need 100 nutrients to constitute a viable supplement for optimal health.
I hope you understanding that you need to supplement in today’s world because of the crisis with the lack of health of our soils. If the minerals are not in the dirt and the dirt doesn’t have the ability to break down the minerals in a form that the plants can absorb then you must know the proper array of trace minerals are not in our food. If the minerals are not in the dirt they can’t be in our food. Please explore our blog and be sure to sign up for our blog updates. You owe it to yourself to educate yourself.
