Minerals found in foods are quite different from those found in supplemental mineral pills.
In foods, minerals are always combined with specific amino acids: sometimes with vitamins.
The process of bonding mineral to amino acid or mineral to vitamin is called “chelation.”
Chelated minerals are preferable to synthetic minerals because the body easily recognizes and uses minerals in chelated form.
This is why a diet rich in easy-to-assimilate organic minerals will ensure the body maintains all its important minerals in proper ratio.
The balanced, chelated minerals in fresh juices help keep the body’s energy level high; the nerves calm; and the muscles, heart, bones, teeth, bones and nails strong.
They also keep the blood clean and the blood pH (its relative alkalinity or acidity) balanced.
They do this by neutralizing acid and alkaline ash, waste products of human digestion and metabolism.
Potassium is responsible for the electrochemical balance of tissues of the heart and all other muscles.
Phosphorus is essential to the proper function of the brain and nerves.
Calcium maintains the acid/alkaline balance of the blood and strengthens bones.
Sulfur aids the functioning of the brain and nerves. It is a body cleanser.
Iodine fuels the thyroid gland, which controls the body’s metabolism.
Magnesium aids in muscle relaxation, protein synthesis, energy production, and is a natural laxative.
Manganese is necessary in the functions of the brain.
Germanium aids in the function of the immune system and bowels. Studies show it may help alleviate mood disorders.
Selenium works with vitamin E to delay oxidation of fatty acids.
Sodium, with potassium, calcium and magnesium, works to neutralize acids, maintain cell integrity, and keep tissues’ electromagnetic energy intact.
