In order to stay healthy you need to intake the right amounts of vitamins and minerals. The trouble is that far too often we do not get the necessary quantities and so you need to assess your dietary supplements and evaluate what is the right vitamin or mineral supplement for you and what you should look for in a mineral supplement.

What makes a multi vitamin/mineral good? Most people just buy the one with the biggest amount of, well everything. This is a mistake. Just because it says it has 100% of you daily requirement doesn’t mean it does. If you are buying a multi chelated (pill) then in reality you are getting less than 25% of what it says on the package. That’s because the rest cannot easily be absorbed.

In order to actually get the required amount you must take a liquid mineral supplement and liquid ionic minerals are actually the best. Liquid mineral supplements are water based so the absorbency is nearly 100%. Therefore youll actually get the benefit of the supplement.

But wait, you’re probably saying, ‘aren’t fruits and vegetables better then supplements?? That’s true, but there’s a problem, and the problem isn’t your fault.

However, even in a diet full of fruit and vegetables, these foods no longer contain the nutrients they should.

Vitamins and minerals (also known as micronutrients,) are impossible for your body to make and difficult to find in today’s foods, so supplements really are the best way to go.

However, as good as supplements are, let’s remember unprocessed foods are still the best way to get vitamins and minerals because of their complexity, high fiber content, and ability to strengthen our immune system.

If you eat the perfect diet, fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, (no white bread,) lean meat (few cold cuts) and plenty of fish, you probably don’t eat need a supplement. But who eats like that? Honestly? Not me and probably not you.

The following should definitely have liquid ionic mineral supplement.

*Stay on a calorie restricted diet (under 1500 a day) *Are allergic to many foods *Have digestive problems, including ever had surgery in it *Don’t eat like you should *Eat vegetarian/vegan *Bleed heavily during ‘that time of the month’ *Are pregnant, could be pregnant or are breastfeeding *Started menopause *Take medications that interfere with the absorption of nutrients *Often get diarrhea

Before purchasing a vitamin or mineral supplement you need to read the label and make sure that you know what you are getting. You also want to know how much you should take and how often. Remember that a liquid mineral supplement is going to allow you to absorb a much higher amount of the minerals and therefore they will be much more helpful to the body. Minerals are food to the body so taking a quality mineral supplement just makes good health sense
