| Colloidal Minerals contains sixty-four macro and trace minerals vital in both daily body maintenance and nightly rebuilding processes. The minerals come from ancient plant deposits found in central Utah and provide a natural balance of essential minerals. These minerals are in a colloidal state which means that they are in liquid suspension and are therefore more readily available for assimilation into the body. Colloidal Minerals taste good because of additions of natural flavoring and tiny amounts of licorice. No sugar is used because sugar may interact with some minerals and decrease their absorption into the body's system. Minerals play an integral role in proper body functioning. Minerals are extremely important in drawing substances into and out of cells, maintaining a delicate internal water balance needed for all mental and physical processes, stimulating the hormonal secretion of glands and causing the nervous system to send commands to all parts of the body. Most people don't get enough minerals in the foods they eat. Over used soil and fertilization can lead to imbalances in minerals found in the soil and plants. Further, animals may over-graze an area or eat a diet low in minerals which can also lead to mineral deficiency. Even certain types of food preparation can result in decreased mineral content. Mineral imbalances often result in illness. Too much zinc, for example, can deplete the body's copper reserves, while too much calcium affects the body's absorption of magnesium. Most minerals are interrelated in the body. Too much or too little of one mineral will affect other minerals within the body. A proper balance of these minerals may not only promote healthy living, but also reduce risks of certain diseases. The recommended serving of Colloidal Minerals ensures the correct intake of differing mineral amounts. It provides essential minerals in optimal balance. Sixty-four important minerals contribute to the success of Colloidal Minerals. The following are some of the minerals found in Colloidal Minerals and how they effect the body. Strengthens the Structural System Boron is essential for absorbing calcium in the bones and may prevent post-menopausal osteoporosis. Calcium aids in the growth and repair of bones and teeth. It may also prevent osteoporosis and high blood pressure. In addition, this mineral reduces insomnia and stimulates muscle growth. Manganese keeps the skeletal and connective tissues strong. It is also important because of its role in changing glucose into energy. Silicon participates in many vital bodily functions such as initiation of bone calcification. It also promotes healthy hair, skin, nails, cellular walls and connective tissue and plays certain metabolic roles in essential body functions. Sulfur provides strength and luster for hair and nails. This important mineral is also vital to protein absorption because it makes up part of many major amino acids. Vanadium deficiency causes bone abnormalities and higher concentrations of cholesterol in the plasma. Proper amounts of vanadium may inhibit cholesterol formation, especially in the elderly. In addition, this mineral helps to keep metabolism on an even level. Builds the Immune System Germanium works to improve cellular oxygenation which helps the body fight pain, keep the immune system functioning properly and rid itself of toxins and poisons. Iron is important in preventing anemia. It aids the body in fighting bacteria and is needed for a healthy immune system. Further, iron is involved in keeping a balanced body temperature. It may also be important to healthy behavior and learning in children. Selenium protects the body from free radicals by neutralizing toxic chemicals and damaging toxins. It also stimulates the immune system. Silver deficiencies often correlate to immune deficiencies. In colloidal form, silver disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, fungi and viruses use for oxygen metabolism. This mineral is an important antibacterial agent and infection fighter. Zinc is a vital mineral in DNA and RNA formation. It may also be important in promoting healthy sight, healing and fertility. Zinc is also essential for the activation of over 200 enzymes within the body and is vital to both growth and healthy immune system functioning. Increases Energy and Stimulates Growth Cesium has important links to the body's energy levels and to brain functioning. It is also used by some as a cancer preventive. Phosphorus is necessary for the body's absorption of B-complex vitamins. It aids in cell division and reproduction and provides energy for the body. In addition, phosphorus may prevent dental problems. Potassium assists in muscle contraction and in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in body cells. It is important in sending nerve impulses as well as in releasing energy from protein, fat and carbohydrates during metabolism. Tin is important for growth, hearing, hair growth and nervous system functioning. Tin deficiency may result in depressed growth. Builds the Circulatory System Chromium balances blood sugar levels and may prevent diabetes and arteriosclerosis. It also decreases cholesterol levels in the blood. Cobalt is a vital part of Vitamin B12. It is important for function and maintenance of body cells and is essential for adequate red blood cell formation. Magnesium is necessary in helping to keep the heartbeat regular and the blood pressure low. Without magnesium, calcium may not be efficiently absorbed by the body. Magnesium also helps those who suffer from migraines, nervous tension and PMS. Molybdenum is critical for mobilization of iron reserves from the liver and for regulation of blood fat levels. Promotes a Healthy Nervous System Lithium is involved in sodium metabolism and its transportation in nerves and muscles. This mineral is further associated with the functioning of the autonomic or involuntary nervous system. Sodium aids in the transmission of nerve impulses. It is also important in maintaining the health of the cell fluid and essential for proper function of the adrenal glands. Sodium prevents calcium and other minerals from causing clots in the capillaries. In addition, the body's absorption of iron depends on sodium. In addition to the previously mentioned minerals, Colloidal Minerals also include: Aluminum, Antimony, Barium, Beryllium, Bismuth, Cadmium, Cerium, Dysprosium, Erbium, Europium, Gadolinium, Gallium, Gold, Hafnium, Holmium, Indium, Iridium, Lanthanum, Lutetium, Neodymium, Niobium, Osmium, Palladium, Platinum, Praseodymium, Rhenium, Rhodium, Rubidium, Ruthenium, Samarium, Scandium, Tellurium, Terbium, Thallium, Thorium, Thulium, Titanium, Tungsten, Ytterbium, Yttrium and Zirconium. It is recommended to take one tablespoon of Colloidal Minerals with a meal twice daily. Sources: How to Get Well by Paavo Airola, N.D., Ph.D. (Phoenix, AZ: Health Plus Publishers, 1974).
