There’s Arsenic in our Fruit!
Our bodies actually need ultra-trace amounts of arsenic to help with enzyme formation and as a cofactor. However, arsenic can be toxic in high doses and despite the fact you can buy arsenic supplements in Asia, we don’t recommend them.
Trace Element Chromium Involved in Sugar Transport into Cells
Chromium is an essential trace element, but nitritionists are not really sure what it does. You therefore won’t find it on the ingredient lists, or daily recommended amounts printed on packaging.
Antioxidant Selenium activates thyroid hormones
Ultratrace mineral selenium is required in very small amounts in our body. It not only acts as an antioxidant, but is also very important in the activation of thyroid hormone.
Copper helps our bodies utilize iron, create enzymes and blood
Copper is a metalic substance that is a vital component of hundreds of enzymes in our body. It is also an essential component of our blood.
Zinc is great to help fight infection
Zinc is an essential part of many enzymes in our body. It is also commonly used in lozenges for early treatment of colds. However, in high doses, it can be toxic.
Niacin (vitamin B3) is the vitamin that can cause Pellagra when deficient
Niacin is also known as vitamin B3. Not only has it been used in the treatment of anxiety, depression and other mental disorders, but it may also lower cholesterol.
Iodine for good thyroid health
Iodine is an important mineral for the production of thyroid hormones T3 and T4. Too much or too little iodine can cause problems.
Magnesium for energy regulation, an enzyme co-factor and involved in muscle contraction
About 50% of the Magnesium in our bodies is found in bone. In the body, it has vital roles in muscle and nerve function, as well as heart rhythm, immune system and bones. It may help reduce blood pressure and may have a role in a whole host of medical problems when we are deficient, and most people probably are.
Potassium – cellular transport, nerve & muscle function
Potassium is an essential mineral that often works with sodium to help the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane and into the cell. It’s essential for good heart, muscle and nerve function.
Sodium Chloride helps nutrient tansport into cells
Sodium chloride is the chemical name for common table salt. Despite being told we eat to much, sodium chloride is essential for our bodies, and is involved in the transport of nutrients into cells.
Iron the oxygen carrier
Iron is essential to our health as an oxygen (and carbon dioxide) carrier in the blood cell protein hemoglobin. Iron is one of those substances that can be dangerous if too much, or if too little.
Flavonoids (Formerly called Vitamin P)
Found in green tea and other plants, vitamin P is not actually a vitamin but a group of compounds called flavanoids. These chemicals are thought to help protect against radiation damage.
