Minerals

 

Minerals are inorganic elements that come from the earth, soil, and water and are absorbed by plants. Animals and humans absorb minerals from the plants they eat. Minerals are essential for body functioning and structure. They help to build body tissues (e.g. bone) and to regulate metabolic activities.

Chromium Picolinate 200 mcg (Item #630)

Chromium is an essential mineral important for regulating sugar metabolism. Because the average American diet lacks adequate chromium, and because a high prevalence of metabolic issues existing in this country, chromium is needed more than ever to assist. In addition, large intakes of refined carbohydrates actually depletes chromium stores in the body. Chromium works closely with insulin to help cells utilize glucose (blood sugar). Those with blood sugar issues should consult their health care practitioner before using this product.

Mag D (Item #616)

Daily intake of 420mg of Magnesium (Mg) for men and 320mg for women. However, recent reports estimate that many Americans do not consume the recommended daily amount of Mg. Part of the problem stems from the soil used for agriculture, which is becoming increasingly deficient in essential minerals. Moreover, the Western diet contains more refined grains and processed food. Estimates are that 80–90% of Mg is lost during food processing. Vitamin D is often obtained from sunlight or liver and fatty fish. Most vitamin D from plants is in the form of Vitamin D2 and must be converted to D3 in the body.
