ARE YOU LACKING MINERALS??

Not getting the minerals your body needs can result in a wide variety of illnesses--osteoporosis, arthritis, depression, kidney stones, high blood pressure and aneurysms, to name just a few. Many people are becoming sick and even dying from simple mineral deficiencies. Why are so many of us suffering from a lack of minerals? There are three primary reasons:

1. Our soil is nutrient-poor which translates into gaining few minerals from the plants we eat;
2. Most of the mineral supplements we take are in metallic form which are very poorly absorbed by the body, making them virtually worthless;
3. We consume large quantities of coffee, tea, and soft drinks which leach minerals from our bodies.

Well, assuming that we can't do much about our nutrient-poor soil, what can we do to make sure that we don't suffer from an easily preventable mineral-deficiency illness? For starters, we can limit our intake of coffee, tea, and soft drinks so that we don't rob our bodies of our hard-won minerals. Then we can supplement minerals in forms that the body can actually absorb. These forms should either be chelated, which are 40% absorbable, or colloidal, which are 98% absorbable.

Remember, our bodies need over 60 different minerals for optimum health. We aren't getting enough minerals from the foods we eat due to our mineral-poor soil, so we all need to take some kind of absorbable mineral supplement. If you prefer taking pills, be sure to get a multivitamin with chelated minerals. If you're able to take a liquid supplement, you should take minerals in their colloidal form. Colloidal minerals are not always easy to come by and are usually a bit more expensive until you consider that you're getting 98% of the minerals you thought you were getting as opposed to 40% or less from other supplements.

For your convenience, we have colloidal minerals in our office. I believe so strongly that you will be healthier with these colloidal minerals that I let you buy it at my cost--$29. Please consider taking an absorbable mineral supplement if you're not already. Your body needs its mineral building blocks to help you live up to your potential!
