UMN Concentrated Liquid Ionic Mineral Support

Highly bio-available ionic trace minerals and electrolytes, used to support optimal mineral-electrolyte sufficiency.

1. UMN Concentrated Liquid Ionic Mineral Support Ingredient list
According to Dr. Linus Pauling, winner of two Nobel Prizes in Medicine, "You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency."
In addition to acting as “building blocks” for our bones, teeth, muscles, nerves, connective tissues, and body fluids, ionic minerals serve as co-factors to the enzymes that speed up the biochemical reactions required for our bodies to function optimally. In the absence of specific minerals, our bodies compensate for these nutritional deficiencies by following less efficient, alternative biochemical pathways. Eventually, these specific deficiency states will cause measurable body chemistry imbalances. If left unattended, these body chemistry imbalances will cause a loss of vitality and efficiency in related organs, glands and inter-related body systems- eventually leading to poor health, symptoms of degenerative health conditions and ultimately a diminished life experience and shortened lifetime.
Minerals support the body’s natural processes directly related to:

· Every biochemical process and activity of the body.
· The acid-base balance (pH) of the body.
· Proper cellular metabolism, nerve conduction, muscle function, organ function, hormonal secretion of glands, digestive competence.
· Activation and utilization of amino acids, carbohydrates, enzymes, fats, oils, phytochemicals, proteins, sugars, and vitamins.
· Delivery of nutrients into, and removal of wastes from every cell and tissue, fluid, gland and organ.
· Proper structure and function of the hair, skin, nails and five senses.
· The anti-oxidation process, which protects against aging, degeneration and dis-ease.
· Protection against toxic heavy metals.

One of the most important keys to supporting and preserving human health is by maintaining balanced levels of trace and electrolyte minerals present in all the cells and tissues of the body. Current research shows that underlying most health conditions are nutrient and mineral deficiencies or imbalances that are eventually expressed by the body as symptoms of disease.

The Decline of Nutritional Minerals in Farm and Range Soils:
At the Earth Summit of Rio De Janeiro (June 1992), a report was released that documented the decline of nutritional minerals in farm and range soils, by continent, over the last hundred years. The following table is a summary of this report:

Continent               % Depleted over the past 100 years

North America           85%
South America          76%
Asia                             76%
Africa                           74%
Europe                        72%
Australia                     55%

Again, in 1993, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the soil in the United States was 95% depleted of essential minerals. Soil depletion, poor crop rotation, and loss of valuable topsoil due to flooding and over-irrigation and over-use of human made chemicals has eliminated much of the natural trace mineral content from our soils and foods found in our modern, ‘commercially grown’ food supply.

Minerals are Protective Against the Effects of Toxic Metal Elements
When non-essential toxic metal elements, such as aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury, enter the body they can ‘compete’ with minerals and other nutrients for bonding sites in the cells. If the body is already sufficient in these minerals and nutrients and these bonding sites are continuously filled, these minerals and nutrients provide a protective effect against the accumulation of toxic elements in the cells.

“ It becomes increasingly evident when studying the relationship of minerals to human health that keeping the level of minerals in balance in every tissue, fluid, cell and organ, in the human body may be the key to maintaining human health.

Trace Mineral Drop Complex Analysis Summary.

This information is a summary of analysis of data from numerous different analyses of ConcenTrace from more than 12 labs in three countries over several years. The labs include private labs, government labs, government certified labs, university labs and our own in house lab. The data from these tests has been used to establish label claim amounts and information and to establish and validate quality control and standardization. We have diligently searched for the best analytical labs in the world to test our products. UMN Concentrated Liquid Ionic Mineral Support is a natural product, produced using natural methods. Because of this, some natural variation exists from harvest batch to harvest batch. Even recognizing this, it appears that in most cases, the testing variation between tests is greater than the seasonal harvest variations.

The results from many of the test labs have been used to validate (or in some cases, invalidate) each other. No single lab or testing methodology has been able to accurately test for all elements present in UMN Concentrated Liquid Ionic Mineral Support. It has been our experience that identical samples sent to different labs, or to the same lab on different days, or even a single lab as part of a batch of samples for same day testing will yield different results. These variations have been used to establish ranges and margins of error. In a material with as complex a matrix as UMN Concentrated Liquid Ionic Mineral Support, accurate testing can be difficult, and establishing and determining proper testing protocols for some elements have been determined, others are still being researched, and all are continually being refined. For these reasons, no single test should be considered absolute. We have concluded that valid technology has not yet been developed to fully and accurately analyze a product such as UMN Concentrated Liquid Ionic Mineral Support.

Additional and more detailed test results are available upon request and proper qualification.
