Aggressive farming practices are draining nutrients from soil and not allowing time for the earth to replenish the soils nutrients. Modern farming has brought many of the earths minerals to the surface where they are washed away only to be replaced by synthetic fertilizers which only support basic plant life, not optimal nutrition.

The depletion of nutrients trickles down into the quality of the food grown in the soil. While it may look normal thanks to some genetic modifications and specific fertilizers, it may have a fraction of the minerals it should.

An ion is a mineral or element with a positive or negative charge. This means that the element has too many or too few electrons. This unstable ionic state allows the element to bond readily with water, making it possible for the body to absorb it.

Chemical and electrical processes are occurring within your body the whole time. These processes can only work properly if we have sufficient levels of many types of minerals which we must replenish on a daily basis through our diet.

Traditionally, eating fresh fruits and vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soil was the primary supply of ionic minerals. Although no longer plentiful in typical food, they exist plentifully in their proper proportions in the mineral rich waters of the earths oceans and seas.

Unfortunately so many people suffer from mineral deficiencies now through a poor diet and stressful lifestyle that something as easy as a few drops of trace minerals each day can be extremely beneficial.

As minerals effect hundreds of aspects of your body, there is no short list of typical deficiency symptoms, however most common deficiency’s include magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, iodine.

The absorption of minerals primarily takes place within the small intestines as food passes through. Minerals are absorbed into the blood stream through intestinal villi which can only happen if the minerals are in an ionic form.

When taking a mineral supplement, make sure to take with food as to re-create the natural process. Consuming minerals on an empty stomach is unnatural and should be done with food, as to boost the mineral content.
