WHY MINERALS?

Recent research has shown that many human illnesses previously thought to be irrevocable can be successfully treated by mineral supplementation. Osteoporosis, the gradual weakening of bones throughout the skeletal system through the loss of calcium, is a good example. Osteoporosis, primarily a disease of women over fifty (although not limited to that category) is insidious in its onset. It begins many years earlier in life, perhaps as early as age 20 to 25 with gradual loss of system calcium. Failure to intake sufficient calcium to offset the loss can result in the serious weakening and brittleness of bones, "shrinking" of the skeletal system, premature skeletal aging, and the very noticeable "dowager's hump".

It is now believed that in a high percentage of older persons who suffer broken hips and/or legs in unexplained falls, the bone actually broke BEFORE the fall rather than as a result of the fall, due to weakening of bone structure by osteoporosis. Proper calcium supplementation, preferably begun early in life, can do much to prevent osteoporosis in later years. There is much evidence that increased calcium intake in older persons can aid in strengthening previously weakened bones.

Care must be taken to provide BALANCED mineral supplementation; many minerals and trace elements cannot function properly unless combined in proper proportion with others. In some cases, ingestion of large quantities of a single mineral or trace element without attention paid to combining it with others can be harmful. MEZOTRACE® is a NATURALLY BALANCED combination of minerals and trace elements, all from a 100% NATURAL SOURCE: no harmful side effects have ever been reported. Taken as suggested, it provides excellent mineral and trace element supplementation for everyone from childhood through extreme old age.
