- What
makes Eidon Minerals special?
- The
proprietary methods of manufacturing our high quality
mineral line creates an easy to use liquid (odorless
and tasteless) that has superior bioavailability. Our
minerals are made in America and manufactured on site
with strict quality control. All batches are independently
tested for heavy metals.
- Does
Eidon use additives, sweeteners or preservatives?
- In
a word, no. Our minerals are simply the mineral and
purified water. This makes our products safe and effective
for diabetics or any one concerned about additional
ingredients.
- Why
do we need mineral supplements?
- Our
bodies are made primarily of water and minerals, both
of which are essential to every function within the
human body. A proper balance of minerals is required
for appropriate function and electrical conductivity.
An excess or deficiency of any one mineral can throw
the body out of its delicate health balance. When the
body goes out of balance, disease can set in.
Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and vitamins are
all organic substances they are compounds of
the chemical element carbon. In addition to these
organic nutrients, the human body requires certain
chemical elements in their inorganic forms, or not
bound to carbon. These elements in their non-organic
forms are classified as dietary minerals. Before the
depletion of soils and the use of synthetic fertilizers
and modern manufacturing processes, plants were rich
with a usable form of the minerals, vitamins and other
nutrients that our bodies need. Now, in order to get
the daily requirement of these essential elements,
we would need to eat an unrealistic amount of food
because the nutrients are no longer there. This is
where supplements come in.
- What
are water-soluble liquid minerals?
- Water-soluble
minerals are unique from other mineral supplements because
they utilize a new proprietary scientific technology
that transforms insoluble minerals (metals) into angstrom-sized
water-soluble particles. An angstrom is 1/10,000th of
a micron, which is a millionth of a meter. Previously,
only plants, with help from the sun and organisms in
the soil, had the ability to reduce minerals (metals)
to angstrom-sized particles.
The
ability of a mineral to be utilized by the body is
primarily a matter of size. If you get the particle
size of the mineral small enough, you not only get
the mineral into the body (absorption), but you also
accomplish cell assimilation, which is the key to
fully utilizing the benefits of mineral nutrients.
Because
these water-soluble minerals are not dependent on
the digestive or enzymatic functions of the body,
they work extraordinarily well for older people and
others with diminished body system abilities. They
are also easier for children and older people to swallow
than pills or capsules.
- How
are water-soluble minerals better than pill or capsule
form?
- We
believe the criteria for proper utilization and absorption
of all minerals, vitamins and other nutrients is dependent
on their size and absorbability, also called bioavailability.
No matter what the body takes in, it has to "liquify"
it in order to be able to use it. The challenge with
most traditional pill and capsule supplements is that
they usually have been processed with intense pressure,
heat, paraffin coatings, and fillers. This complex
nutrient form is difficult for the body to break down
as it is not in the desired form the body needs. Just
because a substance may be present in a compound, does
not mean that it can be used. Rust is not a bioavailable
source of iron, and pennies are not a bioavailable source
of copper. Although a substance may be present in a
compound, it does not mean it can be used.
Body absorption of the desired elemental mineral from
pills and capsules is often less than 10%, with cell
assimilation being almost immeasurable. In addition,
pills and capsules require significant digestion before
any type of effective absorption can take place. Due
to consumption of foods heavily laden with preservatives,
drinking highly acidic beverages such as soda and coffee,
exposure to environmental toxins, as well as the normal
aging process, the digestive capacity of most individuals
is significantly compromised. Therefore, mineral supplements
provided in pill/capsule/tablet form provide fractional
benefits to the body at best due to their challenges
with both absorption and assimilation in the body. Even
liquefied suspensions are not in a pure design, these
are simply a suspension of small particles in water.
Grinding up a pill and suspending it in water does not
increase its bioavailability any more than putting dirt
in water (making mud) increases its bioavailability.
When
minerals are truly water-soluble, they provide significant
health benefits superior to any other supplement form.
- Why
is particle size important to absorption?
- Chelated
and colloidal particles are far too large for cell assimilation
in the body. These particles will be caught up in the
blood stream and subsequently deposited, building up
in various parts of the body, contributing to diseases
such as kidney stones, bone spurs and hardening of the
arteries. Toxic buildup of colloidal minerals such as
lead and aluminum is known as heavy-metal poisoning.
The bodys ability to utilize a mineral is primarily
a matter of size and solubility. If the mineral particles
can be reduced down small enough, they can then be absorbed
by the body without the need for them to be broken down
into a less usable form through the process of digestion.
The most important issue for absorption of a mineral
is making sure it is in its ionic form. The dominant
factor is that the mineral must be freed from whatever
matrix it is contained within so it can be recognized
and taken up by the body. Being in its ionic form helps
the body recognize and use the minerals.
- Can
I take too much of a water-soluble mineral?
- As
with all supplements, more is not always better. Any
compound taken in extreme excess can be unhealthy for
the body. There cannot be a blanket statement to cover
all compounds, or even minerals and vitamins. Each respective
ingredient has its own biochemical uniqueness.
The RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of a nutrient
is a suggested maximum amount to be taken each day.
Because of their bioavailability, the dosage amount
for liquid ionic minerals is less than the RDA since
the entire dosage is usable by the body. Remember, body
absorption of the desired elemental mineral from pills
and capsules is often less than 10%. So, for example,
if you take a 500 mg. capsule, your body may only be
able to use 50 mg of it at the most.
We suggest following the recommended dosages provided
on each product. Larger doses should be taken under
the advice of a healthcare professional. There are also
some minerals that are very powerful and should be taken
carefully. For example, iron and selenium are two elements
that should be taken in small doses unless otherwise
advised by a health care professional.
- Do
water-soluble minerals react with pharmaceutical medicines?
- Mineral
supplementation has been very safe. However, specific
drugs may have specific guidelines for use. It is recommended
that, before starting any mineral or nutritional program,
you check with your healthcare professional for possible
interactions. However, we have seen a positive side
effect with supplements. As mineral deficiencies are
corrected, the need for pharmaceutical drugs that mask
deficiency symptoms may no longer be needed.
- How
long will it take before I see results?
- With
nutrition, we are giving the body what it needs to heal
itself and rebuild itself anew and this takes time.
To build a better body, we have to wait on the natural
turnover of the body's cells. A blood cell lasts 60-120
days. In 3-4 months your whole blood supply is completely
replaced. In 6 months almost all the proteins in your
body die and are replaced, even the DNA of your genes.
In a year all your bones and even the enamel of your
teeth is replaced, constructed entirely out of the nutrients
you eat. Think of it this way: if you take a neglected
houseplant and start feeding and watering it, the leaves
may perk up a bit from the improved nutrition. But you
have to wait for old leaves to be cast off and new leaves
to grow before you get a really healthy plant.
- How
are these mineral products manufactured?
- Our
mineral products are produced in a state of the art
manufacturing facility for the bottling of liquid products.
Imitating
the intricate processes found in nature, these minerals,
which are food grade, pharmaceutical grade, or derived
from natural sources, are made using a highly technical,
proprietary technology to create Angstrom-sized mineral
particles and combine them with ultra-pure activated
water. These elemental mineral ions are able to exist
in a perfect polar and ionic/water-soluble form.
The purer the water the more efficiently minerals
are activated into their electrically charged ionic
state. These products use water that is purified at
the manufacturing facility using a unique proprietary
process which encompasses intensified reverse osmosis,
ultra filtration and UV light.
The product label states the minimal dose recommended
to maintain an individuals daily requirements.
It is based on an individual weighing 100-150 lbs.
The amounts appear small because these water-soluble
minerals are approximately 100% bio-available and
are fully assimilated by the body. As such, smaller
and safer dosages are able to be used.
