Ingredients: Organic Derived 65 Bio-Available Macro And Trace Minerals

Minerals are the key to life.

Minerals are the message carriers.

Minerals are the muscle toners.

Minerals govern the alkaline/acid balance of the body and hormone production.

Minerals are the catalysts for vitamins and enzymes to do their work.

Minerals have a role to play in a multitude of physiological and biochemical processes needed to maintain health

Mineral deficiencies are more prevalent than vitamin deficiencies as food contains vitamins but not necessarily enough minerals and trace minerals to ensure optimum health. Even if we believe we are eating a balanced diet, mineral and trace mineral deficiencies are likely due to soil depletion, over processing of food and in some cases, acid rain.

Why has Kiwikitz Colloidal Plant Minerals been retailed for many years as a daily foundation supplement - Kiwikitz colloidal plant minerals supply the 7 essential macronutrients which include calcium and magnesium and essential micronutrients which include selenium - a trace mineral known to be extremely low in the NZ diet

What is the difference between minerals? - Plant derived colloidal minerals are found to be 98% biologically available to the human body as apposed to inorganic metallic minerals such as calcium, derived from ground up oyster shell which becomes 8-12% biologically available to humans in the digestive process.

Colloidal plant minerals have been tested and proven over a period of time (refer to Dr Joel Wallach's ‘Dead Doctors don't lie'). The plant minerals recommended by Dr Joel Wallach became the colloidal mineral of choice for Kiwikitz. These high concentrated colloidal plant minerals are supplied in 250ml and 500ml glass bottles. Note: If taking Warfarin, the minerals iron, magnesium and zinc may bind to and decrease absorptin of this drug, so we recommend taking any mineral supplement at least 2 hours apart from the Warfarin.

This powerful, perfectly balanced and researched ratio of ingredients, combine to play an essential role in:

• maintaining strong connective tissue and joints
• assisting joint and connective tissue repair by aiding the building and maintaining of healthy cartilage
• anti-inflammatory protperties
• reducing stiffness
• improving mobility
• joint strengthening
• proven absorption through the intestines
• may speed healing of sprains, strengthen joints and prevent future injury (The Healing Power of Vitamins, Minerals & Herbs)
• found to be safe and effective for older dogs with arthritis, joint or mobility problems

In healthy joints, the synovial membrane, which is the membrane that lines the joint capsule, is thin. The cartilage that covers the bones is smooth and a layer of synovial fluid covers the joint surfaces so that the joints can glide smoothly over one another.

If anything goes wrong with any of these factors, inflammatory pain starts to occur or stiffness becomes apparent i.e. as with arthritis, back pain or joint mobility problems. Sometimes swelling appears as the synovial membrane thickens or excess fluid is produced. At times, some enlargement of the bones may occur.

Recommended Dietary considerations to assist healing by reducing acid producing foods and balancing acid/alkaline pH levels are shown below:

Why is it important to balance pH levels?

A proper ratio between alkaline and acid foods in the diet is essential for balanced body chemistry, maintaining good resistance against disease and to assist in the healing of disease. A healthy natural ratio is around 4 parts alkaline to 1 part acid (80%-20%). If we eat too many acid-producing foods, our ratio drops and our normal body function is drastically compromised. Alkaline neutralize the acid.

Alkalizing foods (need to be 80% of dietary intake) - All green foods, vegetable & fruit juices especially pineapple, vegetable soups (no additives or soup mixes), figs, raisins, almonds, dates, carrots, celery, cucumber, lettuce, watercress, grapefruit, bananas, watermelon, millet, salad greens, virgin olive oil, papaya, lemons, limes, kumara, grapes, stevia (sugar alternative herb), green tea, herbal tea, cottage cheese, flaxseed oil, dates, most seeds especially pumpkin seeds, buckwheat, potatoes, kelp, ginger, sea salt & an attitude of cheerfulness, generosity of thinking, love & forgiveness

Neutral ash foods - Organic milk, butter, vegetable oils, whey & yoghurt.

Acid forming foods (need to be 20% of dietary intake)- Oysters, pork, most grains, most nuts except almonds and brazil nuts, lentils, peanuts, eggs, most meats, chicken, liver & organ meats, veal, most fish, matured cheeses, alcohol, coffee, tea, soft drinks, rice, chickpea, soya beans, red beans, ice cream, artificial sweeteners, cigarettes, over-work, stress, anger & resentment.

Dr. Ragnar Berg is an authority on the relationship between acid/alkaline ratio in the diet and the detrimental health effects created when the ratio is out of balance. He recommends 80% alkaline producing foods to 20% acid forming foods. As we ingest a lot more bread and cereal these days, we often suffer from an over acid system.

Ingredients: MSM - Methyl Suphonyl Methane (naturally derived)

MSM is a bio-available form of sulphur. Originally MSM was researched for its ability to assist in reducing inflammation for those with Irritable bowel syndrome. Many of the research subjects noticed that their arthritis had also improved. Later studies found not only pain relief for arthritis, fibro-myalgia, migraine, headaches, sinusitis, hay fever & allergies, but improvement with hair growth & nail growth. These finding demonstrated the multi benefits of MSM. An additional benefit is the fact that sulphur is a primary detoxifying agent in our cells.

MSM Capsules can be safely doubled for acute pain

• Increases disease resistance
• Muscle cramping, spasm & tension
• Inflammation
• Pre-menstrual & menopausal mood disturbances & cramping
• Finish studies demonstrate a reduced risk of developing heart disease or stroke when a diet is high in magnesium & quercetin
• Assists in controlling adult cholesterol levels

• Has been shown in studies to act as an effective natural anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine i.e. inhibits the release of histamine (inflammatory chemical). (Robert Atkins M.D.)
• Research indicates quercetin may be effective for general fluid retention and Lymphoedema
• Hyperactivity

Excessive free radical scavenging puts a greater demand on our body to protect ourselves with antioxidant rich foods and bioflavonoids such as quercetin. Stress, injury and toxins create a greater demand on the body for antioxidants, magnesium, calcium and manganese. N.Z. Soils are shown to be deficient in many valuable minerals, particularly magnesium. This impacts on our food chain and can lead to mineral deficient related disorders. Magnesium - helps hold Calcium in our bones & forms tooth enamel. Assists in regulating bone growth in children & in controlling adult cholesterol levels, helps maintain alkaline/acid balance in the body Calcium - builds and maintains bone structure, assists in blood clotting, provides vitality, maintains endurance, increases disease resistance. The combination of Calcium & Magnesium are vital for correct nerve & muscle action, and can assist the body in relaxation and sleep, and are natural tranquillizers. Manganese - assists our body in manufacturing insulin to regulate blood sugar levels, helps in the process of utilizing goodness from our foods and is important for the brain & nervous system. Quercetin - is found in yellow and red onions and has been shown in studies to act as an effective natural anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine (Robert Atkins M.D.). Being a bioflavonoid, it has the ability to protect Vitamin C from being broken down too quickly in the body. Quercetin inhibits the release of histamine (inflammatory chemical). Research indicates Quercetin may be effective for general fluid retention and Lymphoedema. Finish studies demonstrate a reduced risk of developing heart disease or stroke when a diet is high in magnesium and flavonoids, particularly quercetin. Note: The minerals iron, zinc and magnesium, may bind Warfarin and decrease its absorption. For this reason we suggest taking this supplement at least 2 hours apart from the drug Warfarin. Pregnant & breast feeding mothers should avoid herbals and supplementation unless specifically prescribed by a Herbalist, Homeobotanical Therapist or Natural Medicine Practitioner. If symptoms persist, see your Health Professional.
