DESCRIPTION

Earth Select™ is a proprietary blend of ionic and complexed trace minerals.* The minerals that are found in Earth Select™ are selected from three different mineral deposits to give it the most complete and balanced mineral content. Earth Select™ also contains humic and fulvic acids that form complexes with the ionic minerals and increase their absorption. *

RESEARCH SUMMARY

Minerals are needed in many body processes, including the building of strong bones, enzyme, and hormone production, and to maintain the electrolyte balance in our cells.* Minerals are often classified as either macro or micro minerals. Those that are needed in dosages exceeding 100 mg are the macro minerals, and the micro minerals are usually needed only in minute amounts. The well accepted essential macro minerals are: calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, and sulfur; and the essential trace minerals are: chromium, cobalt, copper, fluorine, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, and zinc. Dr. Joe Wallach, a popular advocate of trace minerals, states that 60 minerals are essential to human health. Although the exact number of essential minerals is still to be determined by research, we do know that nature provides us with very low levels of a full range of minerals in our natural (unprocessed) sources of food and water.* In addition, minerals can be considered even more important in supplementation than vitamins because many vitamins, drugs, herbs, and foods do not function properly or at all unless certain minerals are present in the body.* Additionally, if we consume too much soft water that has been depleted of minerals, or mineral free water, it can actually harm us because minerals can be pulled out of our bodies as we try to maintain a mineral balance with ion exchange. *Therefore, supplementation with a natural source of ionic minerals can help the body maintain this balance.

*There has been a lively debate as to whether ionic or colloidal minerals are more absorbable and usable by the body, with recent emphasis on the ionic minerals. *Earth Select™ takes it one step further by including humic and fulvic acids. In spring water, minerals in the ionic form can be aided in absorption by the natural humic and fulvic acids that form electrostatic bonds with them. *Due to the polarity of the intestinal wall, some ionic minerals are absorbed on their own, but with Earth Select™ additional ionic minerals are absorbed due to their bonds with the humic and fulvic acids.

Earth Select™ is a superior ionic mineral supplement for the following reasons: *

• Earth Select™ is the first solid dose form of ionic or colloidal minerals - no more inconvenient and bad-tasting liquids! *
• Earth Select™ contains ionic rather than colloidal minerals, and also has complexes of humic and fulvic acids, making this a more absorbable product *
• Earth Select™ is made from a proprietary blend of three different mineral deposits, whereas most other colloidal and ionic supplements come from one area in Utah, giving Earth Select™ a complete and balanced mineral content *
• Earth Select™ contains an absorbable form of silica from Bamboo *
• Earth Select™ has a high total dissolved solids (TDS) content without the addition of sugar *
• Because Earth Select™ is in a capsule form, there is no need for refrigeration like the leading brands *
• There is no microbiological contamination that accompanies the leading liquid ionic and colloidal brands after opening the bottle *
