Colloidal Trace Minerals to Combat Aging

No cellular function can be produced correctly if the body isn’t receiving all the minerals and trace elements the metabolism needs. . . It so happens that all degenerative diseases originate, to one degree or another, in a severe mineral depletion of the body.

Dr. Robert LaFave, U.S. Metabolic Research Center

We all know about the importance of minimum daily requirements for vitamins in our diets, but what about minerals?  Did you know that minerals are actually more important for maintaining a properly functioning body?  Shockingly, according to the National Institutes of Health, up to 80% of us are mineral deficient!

Minerals are necessary for many of the body’s processes, such as energy production, bone, teeth and blood formation, the transmission of nerve impulses and enzyme production.  Some minerals are more essential than others, and there are some about which little is known concerning daily-recommended intake. Known as trace minerals, or trace elements, deficiencies in these minerals have been linked to specific diseases including cancer, believed to be related to a selenium deficiency.

Much of the food we eat is grown in soil that has been stripped of its mineral content. Although trace minerals are naturally found in topsoil, flooding and over-irrigation, along with poor crop rotation, have eroded topsoil, affecting the mineral content of our foods.

As a result, the most common foods contain only a small fraction of the minerals required to sustain a healthy complete balanced diet. Over time these mineral deficiencies progress causing an impaired immune function. The results are diseases of aging.

The overuse of prescription drugs is another cause of mineral deficiency. Many antibiotics and over-the-counter pain preparations interfere with mineral absorption. Diuretics rid the body of potassium and magnesium. Sleeping pills lower the levels of calcium and magnesium in the blood. Since minerals are vital for normal immune system functioning, the use of mineral-depleting drugs has a direct effect on your health and your body’s ability to fight disease.

As another example, selenium has recently been identified as an important antioxidant which acts as a free radical scavenger. Free radicals are damaging by-products of normal energy production. Chromium, is another essential trace mineral that is integral to metabolizing fats and carbohydrates, and has recently been found to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Iron has long been known as an important mineral that is used for energy production and supports the body’s defense system.

NanaCea Quantum Minerals is an excellent supplement for those who wish to maintain optimal mineral levels in the body. As a colloid solution the mineral particles are suspended in a liquid that maintains uniform composition. The stable composition of minerals in ocean water is extremely similar to the stable composition of minerals in human blood. This guarantees optimum absorption of the 80 naturally occurring minerals featured in our product.
