MINERALYZE is a 100% chelated
multi-mineral formula thats high in both calcium, magnesium, and many
other trace elements. Vitamin D, an often deficient fat-soluble
vitamin, is also included to ensure optimal calcium utilization, general
health, and recovery from vigorous training.Why Chelated
Minerals are Absorbed More Effectively by the BodyMinerals
are inorganic elements that are essential constituents of all cells.
They contribute from 60% to 80% of all the inorganic material in the
human body (particularly the teeth, nails, bones, soft tissues, muscles,
nerve cells, enzymes, hormones and blood). Although minerals only
comprise 4-5% of our body weight, we cannot exist without them.
Minerals
and trace elements serve as vital catalysts for the biological
reactions that take place within the body. Minerals are also necessary
in maintaining a healthy acid-base balance, play an important role in
regulating blood volume and maintain the delicate water balance in our
bodys tissues.
The term bioavailability refers to the degree to
which a particular nutrient is available for use in the body. There are
many factors which influence bioavailability, including the actual
compound form of the mineral or trace element. The absorption of
minerals and trace elements (excluding electrolytes) is generally less
efficient than that of other nutrients.
Chelating mineral
supplements (linking them to amino acids) ensures the highest, most
dependable, probability of absorption. Since most forms of inorganic
minerals are positively charged, by combining them with negatively
charged amino acids (amino acid chelate), we greatly increase the
bioavailability of these minerals.
Preparing a mineral complex as an
amino acid chelate has two very important advantages since it provides a
bond thatsJust strong enough to hold the mineral and the chelated amino
acid together within the stomach yet just weak enough to make its
central mineral ion available for absorption within the intestines
CALCIUM:
maintains total
body health,
normal growth and development,
keeping the bones
and teeth strong ( they contain 99% of the bodys calcium, the remaining
1% is in blood),
ensures the proper functioning of muscles and
nerves,
keeps the heart beating,
helping blood clotting and
regulating blood pressure,
proper iron metabolism
maintains the
action of a number of hormones (particularly those associated with the
thyroid and parathyroid glands),
important to cell structure
proper
absorption of vitamin B12.
helps neutralize acid waste buildup from
protein metabolism, lactic acid buildup, and stress (this spare calcium
in the long bones)
MAGNESIUM: Magnesium
supplements have been used to promote healthy teeth and bones, treat
muscle spasms, relieve premenstrual pain, and lower high blood pressure in patients with low magnesium
levels. Magnesium has also been used to prevent premature labor and low
birth weight.
VITAMIN D: FACT: Over 87% of
Americans are deficient in Vitamin D! Vitamin
D (Vitamin D3 being the active form) is used for treating weak bones (osteoporosis), bone pain (osteomalacia), bone loss in people with a
condition called hyperparathyroidism, and an inherited disease (osteogenesis imperfecta) in which the
bones are especially brittle and easily broken. It is also used for
preventing falls and fractures in people at risk for
osteoporosis, and preventing low calcium and bone loss (renal
osteodystrophy) in people with kidney failure.
Vitamin D is
used for conditions of the heart and blood vessels, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It is also used for
diabetes, obesity, muscle weakness, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, bronchitis, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and tooth and gum disease.
Some
people use vitamin D3 for skin conditions including vitiligo, scleroderma, psoriasis, actinic keratosis, and lupus vulgaris.
It is also used for boosting the immune
system, preventing autoimmune diseases, and preventing cancer.
Because vitamin D is involved in regulating the
levels of minerals such as phosphorous and calcium, it is used for
conditions caused by low levels of phosphorous (familial hypophosphatemia and Fanconi
syndrome) and low levels of calcium (hypoparathyroidism and pseudohypoparathyroidism).ZINC:
Zinc is a strong antioxidant, zinc protects the body against damaging
free radicals and it boosts the bodys immune system. It helps heal burns and wounds (and thus
muscle), offers some protection against common infections such as colds or flu, and
it may be effective in the prevention and/or treatment of age-related macular degeneration (an eye
disease), infertility, hair loss, anorexia nervosa (an eating disorder),
prostate enlargement, and common skin problems like acne.
IRON: Iron supplements are most often prescribed to treat iron
deficiency anemia. A lack of
iron leads to low oxygen carrying capacity due to decreases in RBC
formation. Recently, its been demonstrated that upwards of 70% of
competitive athletes are iron deficient.
COPPER: Copper is one of the most important blood antioxidants. A copper deficiency causes higher serum cholesterol levels along with the lesions similar to those seen in coronary artery disease.
MANGANESE: Supplements of this trace mineral have
been used to prevent cancer, to improve blood sugar control, and to
treat arthritic symptoms.
CHROMIUM : This trace mineral is necessary for proper
insulin sensitivity, and it may help prevent or treat low blood sugar
levels and diabetes. It may also offer protection against heart disease
by lowering blood cholesterol levels.
SELENIUM:
A great antioxidant, selenium may help protect the body against cancer,
premature aging, and degenerative diseases such as heart disease and
arthritis.
IODINE: Iodine is an important component in the
production of thyroxin (thyroid hormone) the hormone responsible for
maintaining an individuals metabolism or basal metabolic rate (BMR)
POTASSIUM:
Potassium supplements are most often prescribed to treat potassium
deficiency caused by chronic diuretic use. Adequate potassium intake is
necessary to maintain proper intramuscular fluid
balance.
BORON: Boron is
helpful in preventing osteoporosis and improving symptoms of osteoarthritis and joint repair. MOLYBDENUM:
Molybdenum is a mineral that is present in very small quantities in the
body. Its involved in many important biological processes, possibly
including development of the nervous system, waste processing in the
kidneys, and energy production in cells.HORSETAIL EXTRACT: The durable
horsetail plant is a superb source of silica and calcium, necessary for
bone and connective tissue repair and maintenance. Horsetail has
traditionally been used to speed recovery from fractures and torn
ligaments. Although abundant in nature, silica is poorly absorbed by the
body. Silica is essential for healthy hair, skin and nails. Silica
works on a cellular level and is part of the cartilage-forming cells and
the fiber-building cells that form collagen.
