are you getting enough trace minerals?

"You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.”
-Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling PhD

Experts estimate that nearly 90% of Americans suffer from a mineral deficiency.  Muscle cramps, fatigue, food cravings, and osteoporsis.  These are just some of the common symptoms from a mineral deficiency.  
​

what are trace minerals?

The most commonly known trace minerals are iron, copper, iodine, chromium, zinc, fluoride, cobalt, selenium, and manganese.  These minerals help regulate hormones, nerves, thyroid, muscles, metabolism and more. 

A lot of trace minerals found in soil have been washed into the ocean.  In fact, the ocean finds them in proper proportions (maybe that's why I love the ocean so much).  The Great Salt Lake in Utah contains a high concentration of them.  The two products below source their minerals from this lake.  Eating organic foods will help, but adding a supplement is even better.  If you are one who needs electrolytes from sports, exercise, or working outside, these are much healthier than Gatorade!

I use the brand Trace Minerals in my water daily.  I add 10 drops.  It does make it taste slightly different, so I also add Young Living's Vitality drops (their yummy electrolyte drops) as well.  Everything I've mentioned here is sourced from the Great Salt lake in Utah.
