Dosage Forms
Pure-Li Natural's Herbal Trace Minerals are available in a great tasting, certified Kosher and Parve liquid, packaged in 500ml bottles.
Indications
Pure-Li Natural's Herbal Trace Minerals contain many of the naturally occurring vitamins and minerals required for optimal health, including all the trace minerals.
Trace minerals are the classification of minerals our bodies require in small amounts (less than 100mg per day) for optimum health.
Many of us are not able to derive the minute amounts of required trace minerals from our regular diet. These trace minerals are vital for many bodily functions including hemoglobin synthesis, iron absorption,
carbohydrate metabolism, optimum enzyme function, as well as maintaining healthy immune and reproductive systems.
The minerals in Herbal Trace Minerals are derived from herbal ingredients. As such, the quantity of individual minerals is subject to natural variations.
Contraindications
None Known.
Herbal Trace Minerals
Our bodies are designed to derive our nutritional requirements from food. Thus, only a fraction of the nutritional value contained in non-food supplements are ever absorbed. The rest simply pass through our system. By choosing a natural source of organic
Trace Minerals derived from foods (herbs) it is believed the body's absorption rate is significantly higher.
The Trace Minerals
Boron
Vital to the development and preservation of bones, boron is instrumental in slowing down bone degeneration.
Boron increases the body's calcium absorption rate, promotes normal physical growth and development, protects against osteoarthritis, and is helpful in arthritis cases.
Chromium
Chromium has an essential part in the body's "Glucose Tolerance Factor", the critical enzyme system involved in blood sugar regulation. The body attempts to keep glucose levels within a narrow range. Without sufficient chromium, excessive glucose levels
may be maintained. This is a classic feature in obesity and diabetes.
Cobalt
Cobalt acts as a catalyst in the complex reactions required in the formation of vitamin B12 (cobalamin). It promotes normal red blood cell formation, is involved in many enzyme reactions and aids in the creation of the myelin nerve coverings.
Cobalt deficiency (pernicoius anemia) may lead to weakness, numbness, fatigue, confusion, and dementia.
Copper
Copper is an important factor in the manufacture of hemoglobin, collagen structures (including joint and arteries) and energy. Fatigue, anemia, poor wound healing, a weakened immune system, atherosclerosis, and increased cholesterol levels characterize
copper deficiency.
Fluoride
Fluoride is the essential mineral for bone and tooth health. It contributes to proper bone and tooth formation and maintenance by helping the body retain calcium. Fluoride may help prevent osteoporosis. Additionally, it interferes with the growth and
development of bacteria that cause dental plaque.
Iodine
The thyroid adds iodine to the amino acid tyrosine to create thyroid hormones. Iodine is vital to the proper function of the thyroid gland and deficiency results in an enlarged thyroid, commonly called a goiter. Since iodine is added to table salt, iodine
deficiency is rare in North America.
Iron
Iron is vital to proper heath. It plays a central role in the formation of red blood cells, where it aids to transport oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. It is required for both energy production and metabolism. Iron deficiency is the most
common nutrient deficiency in the United States, leading to a marked reduction in energy, physical work capacity and productivity.
Manganese
Manganese is needed in many enzyme systems including those for energy metabolism, blood sugar regulation, and thyroid hormone function. It is vital in the functioning of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD). Through SOD, manganese protects
cells from damage and inflammation. Evidence suggests that patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases have an increased need for manganese.
Molybdenum
Molybdenum functions as a component in several enzymes, including those responsible for alcohol detoxification, uric acid formation and sulfur metabolism.
Selenium
Selenium is a component of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, and works with Vitamin E to prevent free-radical damage to cell membranes. Low levels of selenium have been linked to increased risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory
diseases and other conditions associated with free-radical damage, including cataracts and premature aging.
Silicon
Silicon is responsible for cross-linking collagen strands, which contribute in large part to the strength and integrity of the body's connective tissue matrix of bone. It helps improve hair, skin and nails. In cases of osteoporosis or where accelerated
bone regeneration is desired, silicon requirements increase. Silicon may help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and reduce blood pressure levels.
Vanadium
Researchers have not yet discovered how vanadium works in the body. We know it is present in most body tissue and is required for proper development of bones, cartilage and teeth. Vanadium is believed to be involved in hormone, cholesterol and blood sugar
metabolism.
Zinc
Zinc is a component of over 200 enzymes in our bodies. Adequate zinc levels are needed for proper immune system performance, normal thymus gland function, maintenance of vision, taste and smell, as well as wound healing. Zinc is vital for proper sex
hormone function and healthy prostate in men.
Zinc levels have a correlation to healthy skin. Levels are typically lowest in 13-14 year old boys. It is not coincidental that this group is the most susceptible to acne. Clinical studies have shown zinc deficiency to
be one of the causes of acne.
A deficiency of Zinc can lead to increased susceptibility to infection, prolonged recovery time from infections, poor wound healing, night blindness, poor sense of taste and smell, prostatitis, infertility and skin
disorders.
Storage
Herbal Trace Minerals should be stored away from heat and light until it is required. Some users prefer the taste when refrigerated. Ensure that the cap is tightly secured when not in use.
Usage
As part of a healthy lifestyle adults should take 1-2 tablespoons of Herbal Trace Minerals twice daily.
Increase usage during dieting, exercising, and while following a detoxification or cleansing program.
Complimentary Therapies
Proper nutrition is vital to good health. Drink plenty of water (at least 8 glasses daily) and juice instead of coffee, tea or sodas. Try to avoid synthetic ingredients, highly concentrated in prepared or packaged foods, and take a well-balanced
multivitamin and mineral supplement which includes vitamin C and zinc.
