Approximately 99% of the human body is comprised of minerals,
yet minerals are generally overlooked when nutrition is
considered.
Gary Price Todd, M.D., says the human body requires
at least 60 minerals in order to maintain a disease
and ailment free state. If this is true, it’s
easy to understand why sickness is so prevalent throughout
the world. Foods that we raise or purchase today contain,
on average, no more than 16 to 20 minerals. This small
number of minerals in plants is due to a mineral deficiency
of the soils around the world. When a plant grows, it
draws available minerals from the soil. If the soil
lacks minerals, the plant lacks minerals. This mineral
deficiency was caused by millions of years of wind and
rain erosion and centuries of unwise farming practices.
Dr. Todd also said vitamins are basically useless in
the absence of minerals.
If the proceeding is true, it makes sense that people
need to find a mineral source that provides 60 or more
minerals. Most of us have been hearing about vitamins
since we were children. And even today we hear authoritative
sources say be sure to take your vitamins, but seldom
do you hear anyone say, “be sure to take your
minerals”. Vitamins are sometimes expected to
do more than they are capable of doing. Our bodies can
live longer without vitamins than they can with a deficit
of minerals.
Did you know all the vitamins in the world would do
us little good without minerals? Minerals are required
for the body to utilize vitamins. In fact minerals are
the essential building blocks of blood, bone, and tissue.
Without minerals your body could not repair damaged
cells and tissue. The lack of just one trace mineral
could create a multitude of health problems.
Some of the best mineral supplements today contain no more
than 10 to 15 minerals because they are metallic minerals
derived from the earth. These are known as hydrophobic minerals
because they are not water-soluble. Minerals from plants
have been predigested by the plant and are known as
water-soluble, plant derived, hydrophilic minerals.
Plant minerals are thought to be 99% absorbable and most beneficial
to the human body. They are the same as those obtained
from fruits and vegetables. However, as stated above, most foods contain
less than 20 minerals.
So to get a complete spectrum of 75 pure plant derived
minerals, get the best life has to offer by purchasing TRC
