More About Basic Health Mineral Blend
Basic Health Mineral Blend is a balanced formulation containing numerous essential minerals in ultra-pure activated water:
Calcium
Calcium is an essential nutrient for human life, providing support for all body tissue. Some of the vital functions performed by calcium include energy production, nerve impulse transmission, protein and fat digestion, and promotion of normal muscle contraction and relaxation. Calcium combines with phosphorus in the body to help form the hard, crystal-like substances that create the latticework providing strength for the bones. It is also crucial in the process of activating multiple enzymes in the body and aids in the absorption of vitamin B12.*
Phosphorus
Phosphorus is essential for stimulating hormone production and creating conditions that allow the body to utilize vitamins and maintain proper pH. Phosphorus helps create energy and aids in the synthesizing of proteins, fats and carbohydates.*
Magnesium
Magnesium is a vital nutrient responsible for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the human body. Between 50% and 60% of magnesium is found in the bones. Magnesium is biologically interlocked with calcium metabolism. Without sufficient magnesium, the body is not able to make proper use of calcium.*
Zinc
Zinc is in every body cell and is a component in over 200 enzymes. In fact, zinc functions in more enzymatic reactons that any other mineral. It is necessary for proper action of many body hormones, including thymic hormones, insulin, growth hormones, and sex hormones. Adequate zinc levels are essential to good health. The beneficial effects of zinc are extensive, including healthy immune function, wound healing, sensory functions, sexual functions and skin health. Zinc is essential for the maintenance of vision, taste, and smell. Zinc is critical to healthy male sex hormone and prostate function.*
Selenium
Selenium is recognized as a potent antioxidant, and is a component of varioius enzymes in the body that help control free radicals.*
Copper
Copper is an essential trace mineral involved in several key enzymatic reactions in the human body. It is the third most abundant essential trace mineral. The highest concnetration of copper is in the brain and liver. The estimated 70 to 80 milligrams of copper in the human body are distributed among all organs. Copper is necessary for the proper function of the enzyme lysyl oxidase, which is required in the cross linking of collagen and elastin. Copper deficiency, therefore, is associated with poor collagen integrity. Copper helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and supports the immune system.*
Manganese
Manganese is involved in protein, fat and energy metabolism, and it is a component of superoxide-dismutase, an immune related enzyme. Manganese also contains antioxidant properties.*
Chromium
Chromium is a trace element essential to the normal functioning of many body systems. It helps promote the mtabolism of glucose, insulin and lipids. Chromium has been shown to promote healthy glucose tolerance and may play a role in the body's normal sensitivity to insulin.*
Sodium
Sodium is the principle mineral in the extra-cellular fluid of the blood. It is an essential mineral required to regulate extra-cellular fluid volume, maintain acid-base balance, and maintain the membrane potential of cells. Sodium is constantly being pumped out of cells in exchange for potassium in order to maintain the proper intracellular balance.*
Potassium
Potassium supports healthy heart, muscle and nerve function, and is essential for maintaining water and pH balance in the body. Potassium also promotes protein and carbohydrate usage by cells.*
MSM
MSM is a molecule found throughout nature in plants, animals and humans. It consists of two hydrocarbon units attached to one unit of sulfur and two oxygen atoms. Hence, it is one-third sulfur by weight. Sulfur is cital to the growth of hair, nails, organs and connective tissue, and is necessary for the production of insulin and the metabolism of carbohydrates.*
Cesium
Cesium has been reported to have a beneficial role in balancing and/or elevating the pH in body cells. It may also contribute to healthy thyroid function.*
Why is Basic Health Blend So Effective?
It provides mineral nutrition in a balanced, bio-available format that allows rapid uptake by the body. United States Senate Document #264 states: "The alarming fact is that foods - fruits, vegetables and grains - now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contains enough of certain needed minerals, are starving us - no matter how much of them we eat!" The document also states, "It is bad news to learn from our leading authorities that 99% of the American people are deficient in these minerals, and that a marked deficiency in any one of the more important minerals actually results in disease." With this in mind, Basic Health Blend provides essential mineral nutrition that may be lacking in most people's diets.
