CALCIUM
Ninety-nine percent of the calcium in your body
is found in your bones and teeth. The remainder,
a scant one percent, circulates in the soft
body tissue and fluids. Calcium is needed for
normal bone and teeth development, for blood
clotting, for enzymatic action, and for the
regulation of fluid passage through walls of
tissue and cells.
Calcium in the blood is needed for the alternate
contraction and relaxation of heart muscles.
A deficiency may cause undesirable reactions
in your nervous system.
Calcium is stored inside the ends of bones,
when you are in a stress situation; your body
draws calcium from these bones if you have enough
from your daily diet. Continual calcium drain
usually affects your hip and pelvis then your
spine, these causes a weakness that may lead
to a vertebra fracture. This condition happens
to children and adult!
About half of all calcium taken into the body
is excreted. You need to have enough of this
mineral every day to protect against shortages.
Illness such as diarrhea may interfere with
calcium absorption. Kidney trouble also disrupts
the utilization of this mineral. Hormone imbalance,
especially of the thyroid, parathyroid, and
adrenal cortical glands, influence the shortage
and use of calcium.
POTASSIUM
Potassium normalizes your heartbeat, nourishes
your muscles, and it is especially needed by
your kidneys to help dispose of wastes.
Hot spells? Boost potassium. Even mild heat
can drain your potassium supply and cause harmful
reactions.
Troubles with a jump, quiver or tic? Or a nervous
tremor? Sudden jerks and jolts? One common cause
is potassium deficiency. At the neuromuscular
junction, the meeting place between nervous
system and muscle, electrical impulses pass
from the nerves into a muscle and control its
movements. Mineral conduct these impulses. But
a potassium deficiency means that too much electricity
gets through, and your muscles is overcharged.
MAGNESIUM
About 70 percent of the magnesium in the body
is in the bones. The rest is in the soft tissue
and blood. Magnesium is a must for maintaining
or even increasing bone mass. You need magnesium
in the urine which helps protect against kidney
stones. Basically kidney stones form when urinary
calcium doesn’t stay dissolved but forms
small pellets made of calcium salts. Patients
with reoccurring kidney stones who were given
magnesium as part of their therapy had about
90 percent fewer stones.
Magnesium deficiency is a cause of a lot of
muscular problems because one of its functions
is to relax muscles. Menstrual cramps and headaches
are also due to a lack of magnesium. Also, magnesium
helps the body’s proper use of biotin,
and vitamin C. It is important in the formation
of thyroxin, the principal hormone of the thyroid
gland. Magnesium helps eliminate fatigue, and
aids in muscle reflexes; helps prevent osteoporosis,
improves memory, and reduces nervous irritability.
LECITHIN
Lecithin are the good guys whose detergent action
breaks up plaque and can transport cholesterol
through the blood without clogging arteries.
It helps emulsify cholesterol (fatty deposits
or bumps under the skin) and purifies the kidneys,
which aid the skin.
ALFALFA
JUICE CONCENTRATE
Alfalfa is highly esteemed in folk medicine
as a cure for all inflammations including arthritis
and rheumatism. It is most popular as a blood
purifier.
AMINO
ACIDS, PEPTIDES, and POLYPEPTIDS
All proteins are composed primarily of amino
acids. Proteins are broken down into peptides
and amino acids, which are then absorbed and
used by the body. Amino acids are required for
their active transport absorption mechanism.
Amino acids usually use hydrolyzed vegetables
protein, are also used as chelating agents to
aid the absorption of minerals from the digestive
tract.
VITAMIN
C with ROSE HIPS
VITAMIN
D
Also known as the sunshine vitamin, helps utilize
calcium necessary for strong bones and teeth,
plus other vitamins such as C’s and A’s.
After a suntan is established vitamin D production
through the skin stops.
VITAMIN
E
An active antioxidant prevents oxidation of
fat compounds as well as that of vitamin A,
selenium, two sulfur Amino Acids, and some vitamin
C. Garlic and E are synergistic – they
each increase each others potency. They are
antioxidants – slowing down aging and
hardening of tissue through oxidation. Vitamin
E has long been advocated as the simplest and
most efficient tool in dissolving and preventing
blood clots and preventing platelet aggregation.
It appears to actually decrease blood cholesterol
levels. In man, the generally accepted role
of vitamin E is a protective one, that of acting
as antioxidant in preserving the health and
integrating of body cells and membranes.
ZINC
Helps store sugars and starches. It has a valuable function in tissue respiration - the intake of oxygen and expulsion of carbon dioxide and toxic wastes. It also helps food be absorbed through the intestinal walls.
SELENIUM
Works with vitamin E as a powerful antioxidant.
COPPER
Is needed for heart vessels. It initiates the oxidation of tyroxine, and amino acid which helps utilize vitamin C.
CHROMIUM
Acts to reduce excessive blood sugar levels, aids the action of insulin.
SOY PROTEIN
Has been proven to contain just about all known nutrients found in meats. Prime source of vitamins, minerals proteins, unsaturated fatty acids, needed sugars, and starches.
MOLYBDENUM
Aids in carbohydrate and fat metabolism and promotes general well-being.
BORON
Helps retard bone loss and helps women keep extrogen in their blood longer.
MANGANESE
A trace mineral required by the body which produces healthy connective tissues like bone matrix and cartilage.
