The Missing Nutrients Explained by Dr. Berg

hey guys in this video we’re going to talk  about the missing nutrients okay what are the missing nutrients trace minerals what are  tracing those trace minerals are those minerals needed in much smaller amounts usually below 100  milligrams okay so that would be like chromium zinc copper selenium iodine cobalt versus  other minerals you need in large amounts like potassium calcium magnesium you need those  in much larger amounts so what do trace minerals do they basically help you make proteins work  in your body okay so in order to make hair now skin hormones tendons ligaments discs bone and  muscle you need trace minerals and there’s a lot of deficiencies that can occur with like even  chromium you can start having a blood sugar issue chromium house blood sugars zinc is very very  important in your immune system and also putting viruses back in remission and even skin issues  preventing skin issues copper very important in adrenal health hormone health cortisol stress  hormone selenium is really good for the liver in the detoxification process iodine I think  you might need that for the thyroid cobalt for the blood as in building b12 okay and so the type  of minerals that I recommend our plant base trace minerals okay why because plant based trace  minerals are 15,000 times smaller then other minerals like it’s called elemental or salt based  minerals like you wouldn’t necessarily want to go into the dirt and take a spoonful of dirt and  consume that that would be elemental normally what happens is the plant absorbs the mineral  from the earth pulls it and converts it into a plant-based mineral where you can consume it but  if you actually buy minerals at the store like calcium carbonate and some of these other minerals  that they’re selling they’re not plant based their elemental so that’s why you probably a hard  time absorbing them this is 100% absorbed this is probably if you’re lucky for a 5% absorbed  so it has to do if you ever taken a chemistry class it has to do it the way the minerals are  bound up there’s certain bonds that connect them plant-based minerals have covalent bonds  easy to break elemental have ionic bonds really hard to break up so they’re not well absorbed  you also need a very acidic stomach to absorb minerals in general so if you have a heartburn  chances are you don’t have enough acid to pull it in and as you age you lose your stomach acid  so a little bit about cider vinegar with water each day will help you absorb minerals in general  but anyway trace minerals provide the cofactors for enzymes that actually again help build up  the body tissue and problem with especially in America in other countries to the soils are so  processed and they’re not replenished with trace minerals that you’re actually missing on trace  minerals in our soils so if a plant is grown on soil it doesn’t have the trace mineral it’s not  going to get the trace mineral it has to come from somewhere so you’re consuming food which  is nutrient deficient okay now if you consume food like on a volcanic soils where they used to  have volcanoes like Hawaii the Caribbean islands Africa South America different countries and even  places in America Philadelphia and Sylvania were even in Wisconsin where they had the kettle  rain all the glaciers that came through and deposited all these minerals you have a lot of  farmland it’s a very very nutrient rich okay but in other areas where you’re getting food  you’re getting depletion of these minerals so one of the things that you may want to do is get a  supplement others the one that I use is that this right here is called trace minerals at the plant  base this is basically 79 million years old and Jurassic period which is about hundred forty five  million years at the end of that there was a lot of prehistoric vegetation that was preserved in  the earth so this is basically prehistoric plant life liquefied you would take a dropper full a  day in some water it doesn’t taste like anything and just to start getting your minerals and it’s  a 100 percent absorbed and it has over 70 trace minerals okay okay so thanks for watching and  put your comments below hey you probably already subscribed but if you haven’t press this little  button down below and I will keep you updated
