Best Choice In A Mineral Supplement.

By Neil Butterfield

You know that you need the right amount of minerals and vitamins to stay healthy. In todays world, this is usually achieved with supplements. However all supplements are not created equal and you could be missing out on nutrients that you think you're getting. How do you know which supplement to buy? We'll cover that here.

Before we go any further its important for you to realize just how important the type of mineral supplement you take is to your overall health. For example, too often a person buys and takes a chelated vitamin and mineral supplement that by everything that is written on the packaging should be adequate to ensure dietary needs. The problem most people dont realize that with a compound, or even chelated vitamin or mineral supplement you will not receive more than 25% of the value and most times its much less.

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.

Few would argue that having the right daily servings of fruits and vegetables is a good way to get the necessary vitamins and minerals and that this option is far better than taking a vitamin or mineral supplement.

The problem is that the food we eat no longer contains the nutrients is should and so as a result we actually dont get the necessary minerals even if we do eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.

Vitamins and minerals are referred to as micronutrients. Your body isnt able to make micronutrients and so you must either get them from the food you eat or from supplements. Taking a mineral supplement is a good way to compliment your diet and ensure you are actually getting the necessary nutrients.

Whole foods are your best source for both vitamins and minerals. The offer a greater nutritional value because they are complex, and they also provide the necessary fiber that is part of a healthy diet. Lets also remember that they provide the nutrients our body needs to build a healthy immune system and protect us from illness and disease.

So who should take a mineral supplement? If you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, have a diet high in whole grains, lots of fish, and lean meats and if you do this every day you may not need a supplement. But if we are being honest, most of us dont eat right every day and so for most of us a mineral supplement is 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. - 17273
