How Liquid
Minerals Compare to Pill or Capsule Form
What are
water-soluble liquid minerals?
Water-soluble minerals
are unique from other mineral supplements because they utilize a new
proprietary scientific technology that transforms insoluble minerals (metals)
into angstrom-sized water-soluble particles. An angstrom is 1/10,000th of a
micron, which is a millionth of a meter. Previously, only plants, with help
from the sun and organisms in the soil, had the ability to reduce minerals
(metals) to angstrom-sized particles.
The ability of a
mineral to be utilized by the body is primarily a matter of size. If you get
the particle size of the mineral small enough, you not only get the mineral
into the body (absorption), but you also accomplish cell assimilation, which is
the key to fully utilizing the benefits of mineral nutrients.
Because these
water-soluble minerals are not dependent on the digestive or enzymatic
functions of the body, they work extraordinarily well for older people and
others with diminished body system abilities. They are also easier for children
and older people to swallow than pills or capsules.
How are water-soluble
minerals better than pill or capsule form?
We believe the
criteria for proper utilization and absorption of all minerals, vitamins and
other nutrients is dependent on their size and absorbability, also called
bioavailability. No matter what the body takes in, it has to
"liquefy" it in order to be able to use it. The challenge with most
traditional pill and capsule supplements is that they usually have been
processed with intense pressure, heat, paraffin coatings, and fillers. This “complex”
nutrient form is difficult for the body to break down as it is not in the
desired form the body needs. Just because a substance may be present in a
compound, does not mean that it can be used. Rust is not a bioavailable source of iron, and pennies are not a bioavailable source of copper. Although a substance may be present in a compound, it does
not mean it can be used.
Body absorption of the desired elemental mineral from pills and capsules is
often less than 10%, with cell assimilation being almost immeasurable. In
addition, pills and capsules require significant digestion before any type of
effective absorption can take place. Due to consumption of foods heavily laden
with preservatives, drinking highly acidic beverages such as soda and coffee, exposure
to environmental toxins, as well as the normal aging process, the digestive
capacity of most individuals is significantly compromised. Therefore, mineral
supplements provided in pill/capsule/tablet form provide fractional benefits to
the body at best due to their challenges with both absorption and assimilation
in the body. Even liquefied suspensions are not in a pure design, these are simply a suspension of small particles in water. Grinding up a pill
and suspending it in water does not increase its bioavailability any more than
putting dirt in water (making mud) increases its bioavailability.
When minerals are
truly water-soluble, they provide significant health benefits superior to any
other supplement form.
