How modern life depletes vital minerals

These are not claims. We’re providing science-backed research for educational purposes only. Please do not take this as medical advice.

The norm for supplements has been to either consume a poorly formulated multi vitamin pill or consuming multiple separate single supplements throughout the day. The ultimate test to see if your supplements are working or not is to stop taking them and see if you feel any different. Majority put their current routine to the test and discover they have been wasting a ton of money. Below will explain why this may happen and how Optimize Minerals formulation is different from all. At Optimize Minerals we extensively studied the importance of minerals and how to make them easily absorbed and utilized. The reason single separate supplements don’t yield great results is because there’s not a single food, or herb that contains just 1 single ingredient. All God given food sources and nutrients contain multiple compounds like enzymes, amino acids, bioflavanoids, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, sugars, carbs and more. How could we expect our body to absorb just a single mineral by itself with nothing else? The Optimize Minerals formula contains all essential compounds and combinations to mimic food so our body can fully utilize it.

Magnesium helps promote absorption of other minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium. It also aids in utilization of the vitamin B complex and Vitamin C & E.

Optimize minerals contains all essential minerals!

Chelated, Ionic, Herbal and natural sources of minerals that we use in Optimize Minerals are absorbed without competition due to the additional compounds, amino acids, enzymes, bioflavanoids and more

In short all Vitamins require minerals to be properly absorbed. All minerals need to be consumed together in the correct ratio and form to be properly absorbed. We know this can get confusing and overwhelming which is why we formulated our products properly so you do not have to worry about it. Supplementing minerals separately and alone can start a chain reaction of other minerals in the body being thrown off balance if not taken correctly.

Due to the absorption rate of liquid/powder supplements, the nutrients you need pack a bigger punch. On average, one powder dose is equivalent to up to 20 capsules.

Macro minerals

Drinking demineralized water (purified water) reduces stomach acid and your power to break down and digest food, possibly resulting in bloating.

Water containing naturally occurring minerals should be a daily staple due to its potential multiple benefits. If you do not have access to pure mountain spring water it is best to consume filtered water with an added pinch of minerals like celtic salt or redmond real salt throughout the day. It improves digestion and gut health by promoting healthy levels of stomach acid. A lack of stomach acid promotes digestion issues, heartburn, a high risk of infection, and reduces the effect of mineral absorption.

Mineral water aids in stool consistency and prevents constipation. If you fast regularly, carbonated mineral water will help minimize hunger while delivering essential minerals. Mineral water will also lower blood pressure and can be used on the skin to improve hydration and dryness (getting a mineral-infused shower filter is highly beneficial).

Proper minerals for recovery and rehydration can also give athletes a competitive advantage. It is crucial to have more than just the essential electrolytes for full benefits. For example, sulfur can protect you from muscle damage and speeds up the recovery time. Having enough sodium in the water is vital if you are active and sweat a lot.

Minerals provide energy! Every cell in the body needs minerals. Many people know about mitochondria, the so-called powerhouse of the cell. What people need to know is that minerals are required to function correctly. If you have daily fatigue and weakness, your cells are not functioning at their highest level due to the lack of vitamins and minerals.

Minerals also protect the mitochondria by activating additional antioxidant enzymes to reduce oxidative stress. If the mitochondria are not functioning correctly, it can accelerate aging, reduce ATP production, and damage the cells. Minerals are essential to the mitochondria to create new cells and prevent them from malfunctioning. If the mitochondria are healthy, that will increase the health of your immune system, hormones, sleep, mental health, mood, and more. Minerals the mitochondria need to function at their optimal level are calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, and zinc.

To avoid electrolyte imbalances, which could be fatal, you need to absorb enough minerals from foods and liquids. Minerals and vitamins work together to maintain optimized function. A lack of sodium, B6, and selenium can lead to magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is essential because it protects against potassium loss and regulates its levels. Be mindful of the ratios of certain products.

For your body to naturally produce serotonin and melatonin, you need magnesium, calcium, iron, copper, cobalt, and zinc.

For example, magnesium should be taken to help your sleep because it promotes the natural production of melatonin. Supplementing melatonin will throw your body out of balance.

Dopamine is an important hormone created by magnesium, B6, Iron, B6, Copper, and Vitamin C. These vitamins and minerals are grouped because they work together.

Zinc is an essential mineral that may aid in healthy brain aging and ADHD in children. Be mindful that if zinc is supplemented alone, it will remove copper in the body, exposing you to more bacterial infections. A lack of zinc and too much copper can lead to risk of viral infection.

Magnesium plays an essential role in protecting the body from heart complications. Since magnesium runs the sodium-potassium pump (blood pressure), a deficiency may cause hypertension and an accumulation of calcium and sodium. Supplementation of magnesium has also been found to reduce cardiac arrhythmias.

Potassium controls heartbeat and muscle function and prevents strokes, hypertension, and heart disease. It also allows the body to regulate and utilize sodium levels. You may need more potassium and magnesium if you are sensitive to high sodium levels.

Zinc regulates heart muscle and cardiac function. Low zinc, selenium, and copper levels are related to heart failure. In a recent AREDS study, zinc and copper supplementation reduced mortality by 27%.

Selenium protects the gut from free radical damage and stops the inflammatory response. Iron calms inflammation in the gut and aids in producing good bacteria.

Whether you drink alcohol or not, liver disease is linked to low levels of magnesium, molybdenum, zinc, and selenium — the minerals required for the liver’s detox pathways. Beware of supplementing too much iron because its high oxidative capacity can build up in the body and liver without copper to regulate it.

It is possible that blurry vision is connected to magnesium, selenium, zinc, Vitamin C and Vitamin E deficiency. Additional factors may apply, of course. Glasses or contacts were not around in the early stages of human existence. Just something to think about.

Collagen is vital for skin, tendon, ligament, and soft tissue health, and it needs copper to aid in its formation. A zinc deficiency slows down tissue regenerative processes.

Chronic stress is dangerous to carry out without resolution and further depletes the body of minerals, especially magnesium.

When magnesium is supplemented, it can alleviate anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Other minerals involved in anxiety and depression are calcium, sulfur, copper, and lithium.

The body is intelligent and handles stress by producing different hormones and systems of defense. Common hormones are aldosterone, testosterone, cortisol, cortisone, pregnenolone, progesterone, DHEA and more. These hormones regulate metabolism, inflammation, the immune system, injury recovery, body composition, and stress handling.

Copper, selenium, magnesium, and iron are required to make these steroid hormones in the body. This is a much more complex process. Put simply, multiple minerals must be involved for this to work properly. The thyroid and adrenal glands also produce hormones that require iodine, zinc, magnesium, and selenium.

If you are experiencing testosterone issues, it may be related to a zinc and magnesium deficiency.

Selenium is essential for naturally increasing glutathione levels, hormone balance, antioxidant protection, and managing oxidative stress in the body.

Supplementing every essential mineral daily is necessary for the immune system to function properly.
