What You Should Look For In A Mineral Supplement.
You know that you need the right amount of minerals and vitamins to stay healthy. In todays world, this is usually achieved with supplements. However all supplements are not created equal and you could be missing out on nutrients that you think you're getting. How do you know which supplement to buy? We'll cover that here.
Most people buy a multi-vitamin/mineral by going into a vitamin store and choosing one that has a 100% or more. But if this multi-vitamin is a pill, (even chelated) you're getting less than 25% of what's listed on the bottle. Shocking isn't it? You thought that little multi was giving you all you needed.
In order to actually get the required amount you must take a liquid mineral supplement and liquid ionic minerals are actually the best. Liquid mineral supplements are water based so the absorbency is nearly 100%. Therefore youll actually get the benefit of the supplement.
Everyone knows that fresh fruits and vegetables are better for you than supplements.
However, even in a diet full of fruit and vegetables, these foods no longer contain the nutrients they should.
Vitamins and minerals (also known as micronutrients,) are impossible for your body to make and difficult to find in today's foods, so supplements really are the best way to go.
Whole foods are more complex and higher in fiber than processed food and are the best way to get micronutrients. They can also strengthen your immune system to protect you from disease and other illness.
Do you need a mineral supplement? If you eat a perfect diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and fish, every day, you might not need one. But I don't know anyone who eats like that, do you? So for the rest of us, a mineral supplement becomes necessary..
If you have any one following conditions, you definitely need a liquid ionic mineral supplement.
*Stay on a calorie restricted diet (under 1500 a day) *Are allergic to many foods *Have digestive problems, including ever had surgery in it *Don't eat like you should *Eat vegetarian/vegan *Bleed heavily during 'that time of the month' *Are pregnant, could be pregnant or are breastfeeding *Started menopause *Take medications that interfere with the absorption of nutrients *Often get diarrhea
Before purchasing a vitamin or mineral supplement you need to read the label and make sure that you know what you are getting. You also want to know how much you should take and how often. Remember that a liquid mineral supplement is going to allow you to absorb a much higher amount of the minerals and therefore they will be much more helpful to the body. Minerals are food to the body so taking a quality mineral supplement just makes good health sense
