Hey guys, I’m back and today we’re going to do an FAQ on this product right here called trace minerals enhanced now I did have a product in the past that was a liquid but there are two problems with that product one is when you ship a liquid sometimes it leaks and it can get very very messy and the other reason I wanted to change the formula is because I wanted to add some additional trace minerals to this product to make it even better and the most important trace mineral that I wanted to add in higher amounts was this one right here zinc and one thing that people might not realize when you’re you’re taking a zinc product is that if you’re taking one trace mineral or one mineral over a long period of time without the other minerals with it it can deplete and create an imbalance in the other minerals especially with copper, so I added zinc with some other key trace minerals in a blend of all of the trace minerals and there’s over 74 different trace minerals just to make sure we don’t create additional deficiencies but zinc supports a healthy immune system in fact your phagocytes the cells that eat viruses and bacteria and dead cells are saturated with zinc so if your zinc deficient you become more susceptible to infection because you lose that resistance also you need zinc for vitamin A to be utilized in the body so let’s say for example you’re driving at night and it’s raining it’s hard to see at night so you have problem with night vision well that’s usually a vitamin A deficiency but if you’re deficient in zinc vitamin A won’t work also zinc is involved in epithelial tissue integrity so all the inner skin inside your sinuses all the way down to the colon have this inner lining of skin it’s called epithelial tissue and zinc is involved in keeping the integrity of that tissue to prevent leaky gut which leads to all sorts of immune issues so zinc is involved in a lot of different things including your skin both outside and inside reproduction immune system it supports testosterone and it’s very high in oysters shellfish red meat and even cheese now there’s a couple of reasons why a lot of people are deficient in zinc number one we don’t have a good storage system for zinc so if we’re not consuming zinc on a regular basis from our food we become deficient number two if you’re consuming grains corn or rice there’s something in there called phytic acid that blocks your absorption of zinc also the more stress you’re under the more sugar you eat the more deficient you are in zinc all right the next one is manganese manganese is really important in strengthening ligaments okay in your back in your feet if your mother is deficient in manganese when she’s pregnant with you you can have all sorts of structural problems because the ligaments will become lacks potentially you could even have flat feet and many other structural problems because manganese is involved in bone formation cartilage different enzymes and even the immune system and then we get to copper copper is one little part of the vitamin C complex so if you’ve ever heard of a major vitamin C deficiency called scurvy you’ll notice that there’s a major loss of collagen they have major fatigue copper is part of the vitamin C complex and it comes in a certain enzyme that’s involved in making collagen it’s also involved in supporting healthy immune system and like I said before ligaments and it works with zinc together as a kind of a teeter-totter if you have too much of one thing it’ll deplete the other and then we get iodine iodine supports a healthy thyroid it helps in the formation of thyroid hormones so if you’ve heard of t4 or t3 the three and four represent the number of iodine molecules in that thyroid hormone it also helps support estrogen and helps to balance out estrogen so if you have too much estrogen iodine can help bring it back into the right range iodine is very very very important if a mother who’s pregnant is carrying their child because if the mother is deficient that child could end up with a lower IQ and certain cognitive impairments and then we get to selenium which is probably one of the most important antioxidants it’s involved in something called glutathione which is a very powerful antioxidant in your liver it’s also very important in converting the thyroid hormones like t4 to t3 it’s really important in supporting conditions like Hashimoto’s it’s also very helpful in buffering excess amounts of mercury it’s involved in the immune system it also can prevent muscle cramping so let’s say you’re doing all of the different minerals like magnesium potassium salt and you still have cramps it could be you need selenium selenium is mainly in shellfish and seafood okay boron boron is very important to supporting bone health it’s also involved in building this hormone testosterone and a lot of people take it for pain like in the knee of the shoulder so it does tend to help reduce pain in some patients okay chromium very important in blood sugars okay it supports the cells that make insulin and a lot of people have insulin resistance have a deficiency of chromium chromium is also involved in stabilizing your mood and helping reduce your stress and then we have molybdenum okay this is involved in the detoxification process let’s say for example you have a candida infection you have died off from that also it helps detoxify sulfites and potentially could help lower uric acid so this product has greater amounts of these trace minerals but it’s also in a blend of all of the trace minerals so trace minerals in general are minerals needed in very small amounts but they are cofactors in the biochemistry of the body so you have all these different enzymes that are proteins that are building tissue breaking food down all the different chemical reactions trace minerals are needed in those chemical reactions they’re in fact very essential without them the chemistry would not work I would recommend taking one to two per day on an empty stomach to get the most absorption possible so if you want to check it out I put the link down below
