Plant-Based Ionic Trace Minerals have been stripped from our food and supplements almost entirely and are among the hardest elements to come by! Plant-Based Trace Minerals used to be abundant in our soil, but they were depleted due to modern conventional farming, and modern organic farming practices have not resolved this issue. If our soil is without trace minerals, our plants and crops will not contain trace minerals. If our plants and crops do not have trace minerals, then neither do we or the animals we eat!
Vitamins, Omega Fatty Acids, Enzymes, Fulvic Acid, Humic Acid & Organic Trace Minerals are all needed by the body in order to work correctly. Each of the elements needs to work in conjunction with the others in order to be utilized by the body. For example: If someone wanted to use Vitamin C to treat a cold, taking a large dose of Vitamin C would not on its own be sufficient to treat it. The person trying to stop the cold would have to take increased levels of Vitamin B6, as well as Vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, choline, and have Organic Trace Minerals present with Vitamin C. If any of the other elements were not present insufficient quantities, the Vitamin C on its own would not stop the cold. If we try to eat right and supplement our diets correctly, we are on the fast track to achieving optimum results when it comes to health and well being .
Of the many functions Fulvic Ionic Minerals™ are able to perform, one of the most important is to balance and energize all cell life and biological properties it comes into contact with. Over time, our cell walls have become stiffer and thicker, mainly due to the diminished nutritional value of our food, so they are unable to absorb as many vital nutrients or adequate oxygen supplies as they once did. It has been reported that Fulvic Acid has the ability to repair oxygen deficiency within the body and increase the cellular activity by providing hydrogen. This is one of the main reasons why so many people gain new energy when they start taking Fulvic Ionic Minerals™. It helps provide stressed-out cells with the nutrients, oxygen, and hydrogen they need in order to function properly. Ultimately, if you can restore individual cells to their normal chemical equilibrium and electrical potential, then you have given those cells new life and the ability to function at peak performance levels. It has been reported that Fulvic Acid has the ability to "induce revitalization" of cells by flooding them with nutrients, thus providing the body with a boost of energy and vitality. The Humic Acid contained in our Fulvic Ionic Minerals™ increases the permeability of cells so nutrients are able to be absorbed faster, while allowing waste to rapidly leave. Fulvic Ionic Minerals™ act as a transporter and their low molecular weight allows them to carry nutrients into cells both quickly and efficiently.
Be Aware, though, not all products containing Fulvic Acid are equal. Some Fulvic Acid products are high in molecular weight due to their high heavy metal content, and come from poor deposits in Utah and the Dakotas.
We are aware that certain diseases are not caused by outside invaders, but instead by the immune system's defense mechanisms attacking the body itself. Though this image of the body in essence fighting itself can be settling, know that one of the unique characteristics of Fulvic Ionic Minerals™ is the powerful response that is triggered when they stimulate the immune system. The immune system aids the body in its ability to combat viruses, pathogens, and bacterial infections of all kinds.
In addition to carrying essential nutrients into the cell, our Fulvic Ionic Minerals™ have been shown to function as an excellent natural cleanse of toxins, in essence rendering them harmless to the body. Harmful free radicals are known to circulate throughout the body, and are known to injure tissue, alter genes, disrupt crucial processes, foster cell mutations, and make cells susceptible to a variety of infections and diseases. These free radicals are a major factor in contributing to nearly all situations of medical maladies that people are suffering from today. Fulvic Acid is believed to bond with these free radicals, transforming them into organic and usable substances or, if the case that they have caused substantial damage, are broken down and eliminated from the body as waste.
At Optimally Organic we take careful consideration into the types of packaging we use in all the products we sell. We realize that there are many steps that need to be properly implemented from start to finish in order to provide you with a finished product that works. If even one of the steps is even slightly compromised, the finished product can come out ineffective and possibly harmful/toxic to the consumer. We were tired of all the herbs, supplements, vitamins and super foods that we were taking not working to their full potential because someone had not paid careful attention to detail or cut corners along the way. If Fulvic Ionic Minerals are packaged in anything other than a glass container, the effectiveness of the product is greatly diminished due to its highly reactive nature, rendering it completely useless and possibly toxic.
Studies have shown that due to the low molecular weight of Fulvic Ionic Minerals™, they have the ability to readily dissolve and bond minerals and nutritional elements into their molecular structure. Since Fulvic Ionic Minerals™ have the ability to break down and bond to whatever they come into contact with, it makes sense that they are going to bond to and thus break down whatever they are stored in. Fulvic has the unique ability to react with both negatively and positively charged unpaired electrons and thus neutralize the dangers free radicals pose to the body.
Our competitors will never openly tell you that the products they sell can be potentially harmful to your body. For instance, why will they readily agree to the importance of avoid drinking water stored in plastic containers, but then tell you its perfectly safe to consume their highly reactive products in the very same plastic containers. At the very least, this is perplexing. Do not be fooled. There are no safe plastic containers when it comes to Fulvic Acid products. But surely these products would not be available for human consumption if they were truly harmful, right? Think again. Consider the checkered history of the tobacco industry. For decades tobacco companies managed to discredit any study showing cigarettes to be harmful. This was mainly because their own scientists were threatened into silence about findings that spotlighted the inherent harm of their products.
