16.7 mg; Potassium (amino acid chelate) - 15 mg; Betaine HCL - 8.34 mg;
Iron - 1.67 mg; Manganese (amino acid chelate) - 3.48 mg; Copper (amino
acid chelate) - 0.50 mg; Zinc (amino acid chelate) - 0.375 mg; Chromium
(amino acid chelate) - 33.4 mcg; Iodine (Kelp) 25 mcg, Selenium (yeast
free amino acid chelate) - 1.67 mcg; Natural Vitamin E - 834 IU; Vitamin

vegetable base containing potent botanical antioxidants green tea and
grape seed extract and the following concentrated vegetables: broccoli,
cabbage, tomato, carrots, spinach and parsley.
DIRECTIONS: Take 1 - 3 daily with food, or as
needed. (2 tablets contain 233 mg Elemental Calcium. 3 tablets contain
350 mg Elemental Calcium). Those taking nutritional supplemental fiber
should take mineral supplements at different times of the day, since
fiber may interfere with mineral absorption. Also, do not take calcium
with foods high in soy or phytates (often found in cereals), which may
interfere with calcium absorption.

WHAT
ARE MINERALS?
Minerals are natural substances found in
the earth and needed by the body for proper function of cells. They are
generally obtained in the diets through consumption of plants that
absorb minerals from the soil and herbivorous animals. Improper diets,
consumption of foods grown in inferior mineral-depleted soil, as well as
aging and health problems may cause a deficiency of minerals that can
result in biochemical imbalances.
Macrominerals, such as sodium, chloride,
potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, are needed by the body in
relatively large quantities. Microminerals, or trace minerals, such as
iron, zinc, copper, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, iodine, and
fluoride are required in very small quantities.
WHAT ARE CHELATED MINERALS?
Mineral supplements are available in many
forms,. However, the most absorbable forms are chelated to proteins -
amino acids. When minerals are consumed with meals, they are naturally
bound to proteins in the stomach and then transported through the blood
stream and absorbed into the body. Chelating minerals to amino acids
enhances their bioavailability and smaller amounts are more effectively
utilized and are thus more effective.
PROPERTIES OF MINERALS AND OTHER INGREDIENTS IN MINERAL COMPLEX
-
CALCIUM is the main ingredient in bones and is necessary for bon
formation and support as well as healthy teeth and gums. Calcium
levels decrease as we age, and is especially significant in pre and
postmenopausal women.
-
MAGNESIUM assists in calcium and potassium uptake, as well as being
important in enzyme activity. It is also essential for cardiovascular
and neurological health, as well as many other important functions.
-
POTASSIUM functions to promote a healthy nervous and cardiovascular
system, and is necessary for proper muscle function and regulation of
the body's water fluid system.
-
IRON
is necessary for the formation of red blood cells and the production
of hemoglobin and myoglobin. Iron is also important for energy
production and a healthy immune system.
-
SELENIUM acts as an antioxidant when combined with Vitamin E, helps
maintain a healthy liver and cardiovascular system, and is important
for pancreatic function and tissue elasticity.
-
IODINE is important for thyroid function and deficiencies have been
linked to breast cancer.
-
MANGANESE is a trace mineral that is important for proper bone growth,
as well as protein and fat metabolism and the regulation of glucose in
the body.
-
CHROMIUM is involved in sugar and lipid metabolism.
-
COPPER is necessary for collagen production along with Vitamins C and
Zinc, and is therefore essential for healthy bones and skin. It is
also important for healing and proper nerve function.
-
ZINC
is necessary for prostate and nerve function, and the production of
collagen for bones, skin, and joint health.
-
BETAINE HYDROCHLORIDE (HCL) and GLUTAMIC ACID HYDROCHLORIDE assist in
aiding digestion.
-
VITAMIN E (NATURAL FORM) is a natural preservative with antioxidant
properties.
WHY ARE
VITAMIN D AND IPRIFLAVONE IMPORTANT?
-
VITAMIN D is essential for the absorption of calcium, for healthy
bones, which is especially important for pre and postmenopausal women,
as well as the elderly who tend to be deficient in this vitamin.
-
IPRIFLAVONE enhances calcium absorption in the bone and stimulates
bone formation (by activating Osteoblasts). It is a semi synthetic
isoflavenoid compound derived from soy (and may be found naturally in
Bee Propolis) but without the allergens found in soy. Studies indicate
Ipriflavone helps increase bone density, especially when combined with
calcium and Vitamin D.
MONTIFF MINERAL COMPLEX is a special
proprietary vegetable concentrated base, with green tea extract and
grape seed extract, providing antioxidants to help prevent free radical
damage.
