Best Choice In A Mineral Supplement.

By Neil Butterfield

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.

Not even all liquid supplements or other supplements are created equal; liquid Ionic mineral supplements are actually the best. That is because they are water-based so your body absorbs them more readily. In fact, these type of supplements almost 100% absorbable.

Everyone knows that fresh fruits and vegetables are better for you than supplements.

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.

Do you need a mineral supplement? If you eat a perfect diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and fish, every day, you might not need one. But I don't know anyone who eats like that, do you? So for the rest of us, a mineral supplement becomes necessary..

If you have any one following conditions, you definitely need a 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

When choosing any kind of supplement, always check the label to make sure you know what you're getting. Also see if the dosing instructions are something you can live with on a regular basis. A liquid supplement will be absorbed much more readily by the body so you don't need the huge amounts that you would with a compound or even chelated supplement. That's why the best way to protect your health is by taking a liquid Ionic mineral supplement.
