Mineral pH for a healthy internal balance

Mineral pH is a nutrient dense whole body enhancer, rich in minerals and amino acids to detoxify the body and help balance overall pH. Newly advanced and even more powerful, Mineral pH now includes barley grass juice powder and acai berry—both among the most powerful antioxidants ever tested.Proprietary Humate Mineral Blend, consisting of 71+ plant-derived minerals, is naturally ionic and more easily absorbed across the intestinal walls. Rich in fulvic acid, Humate deposits have been linked to antioxidant activity, electrochemical balance, increased nutrient absorption, increase cellular transportation of nutrients, favorable enzyme reaction, enhanced cell division, increased metabolism, and increased vitamin bioavailability. Together, these powerful minerals and antioxidants work together to balance the body and help cells stay strong.

Potential users are adults who are:

• interested in balancing intestinal pH

• interested in decreasing negative stress levels, thus potentially impacting cortisol levels

• interested in adding ionic (plant derived) minerals to their diet

• interested in enhanced antioxidant activity

Common Questions

Q: What is the benefit of ionic materials?

A: Ionic minerals come from plant material. Plants absorb minerals through their tiny root hairs. Through a complex biochemical process known as photosynthesis, elemental (inorganic) metals are transformed into organic matter to be used by the plant. Ionic minerals are easier to absorb than inorganic minerals.

Q: From the mineral list on the label, it states that there are several heavy metals. I have been told that most heavy metals are toxic to the body.

A: The problem with this advice is that it often confuses those who don’t know the difference between plant-derived, organic minerals and minerals from rocks. The implication is made that these minerals are dangerous in any form—organic or inorganic. This simply is not true. There is a world of difference. Unfortunately, many nutritional ‘experts’ group plant-derived minerals with metallic minerals regardless of the fact that elemental minerals can come from sources such as soil, clay, oyster shell, limestone, and sea salts—among others. Due to this illogical grouping, they assert that the heavy metals that are contained in elemental minerals are the same as those found in plant-derived minerals. This just isn’t the case. Once fulvic acid acts upon a metallic (elemental) mineral and transforms it, the mineral can then be stored in plant-tissues as an organic substance. So, even though the mineral, which is now organic, retains its former title (e.g., lead, arsenic, etc.) it is chemically altered so that it is no longer toxic to our body.

This unclear classification has led many people to believe that the so-called toxic minerals are bad regardless of their source. The aluminum which is found in foods is a good example. This type of aluminum is not only tied to oxygen or silica (hydroxide or aluminum silica), but it has been preassimilated by a plant and is naturally ionic. Both of these types of aluminum are organic and beneficial and are used as food additives throughout the world. They are not toxic. The point is: If you eat vegetables or fruits, you are going to eat aluminum, arsenic, lead, and a host of other supposedly heavy metals and toxic minerals. The following is a list of plants or foods that contain aluminum in quantities of at least 45 - 160 PPM according to ATL Agronomy Handbook, Plant Analysis Guide Nutrient Sufficiency Ranges: bananas, peas, coffee, peppers, pineapple, potatoes, oil palm, root crops, asparagus, tomatoes, beans, corn (at tasseling), brussel sprouts, mint, celery, peanuts, cucumbers, small grains, head crops, soybeans, leaf crops, wheat (high yield), and melons. A chemical evaluation that further supports this data was performed on a random sampling of produce. This evaluation conclusively showed that the following fruits and vegetables contained many ‘objectionable’ elements in an organic form:

Almonds: Aluminum, barium, nickel, rubidium, silicon, strontium, sulfur, and titanium.

Apples: Aluminum, arsenic, barium, lead, nickel, silicon, and titanium.

Broccoli: Aluminum, nickel, silicon, strontium, sulfur, and titanium.

Carrots: Aluminum, barium, lithium, nickel, rubidium, silicon, strontium, sulfur, and titanium.

Grapes: Aluminum, barium, lithium, nickel, rubidium, silicon, strontium, sulfur, and titanium.

Tomatoes: Aluminum, barium, bromine, lithium, nickel, silicon, strontium, sulfur, and titanium.

It is clear that the minerals found in plants are not the same as those found in the ground. They are non-toxic and non-metallic.

Feature & Benefit

Proprietary Humate Mineral Blend - 71+ ionic (plant-derived) minerals which assist in balancing pH in the intestinal track. Rich in fulvic acid which carry naturally occurring minerals and trace elements found in decomposed plant materials.

Chlorella - Referred to as one of the “green foods”—from unicellular green algae. Known for its detoxification activities and immune function benefits.

Magnolia Bark - A mood balancer, anti-stress and anti-anxiety agent linked to controlling the body’s primary stress hormone, cortisol.

Amino Acids - Bind to minerals in the process of chelation to assist with absorption.

Barley grass juice powder - Premier green food and potent cellular antioxidant. Detoxifies by binding to heavy metals and helping elimination. Contains abundant chlorophyll, antioxidants, enzymes, and other phytochemicals that neutralize free radicals and other unfriendly chemicals, including pesticides and food preservatives.

Acai berry - This antioxidant rich pulp contains high levels of oleic acid and is rich in palmitic and omega-6 fatty acids as well as anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins and resveratrol. Acai fruit is associated with a reduced risk of chronic and oxidative stress related disorders. In the form of a freeze-dried fruit pulp, Acai has been shown to inhibit the action of COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, important in both acute and chronic inflammation, and targeted by many anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs).
