Concentrated Sea Water Minerals

Concentrated Sea Water Minerals is a standardized mineral and trace mineral complex  extracted from the Great Salt Lake in Utah, an inland sea. It’s obtained through a process in which sodium chloride precipitates, and magnesium and other minerals naturally concentrate, creating a complex rich in magnesium chloride, and containing a full spectrum of trace minerals found in seawater. Magnesium is one of the most abundant minerals in the body and plays a vital role in supporting the function of all living cells. It’s used in more than 300 enzymes. ATP (i.e., cellular energy) occurs complexed with magnesium, so all enzymes utilizing ATP require magnesium to support their activity. The same is true for enzymes that synthesize DNA and RNA, magnesium is always involved. Magnesium also plays a large role in promoting healthy glucose metabolism (glycolysis). Because magnesium supports the electrical functions of cells (i.e., it’s an electrolyte), it’s necessary for muscle and nerve function. Chloride (Cl-) is also involved in many processes in human cells. Chloride is the second most abundant electrolyte in blood serum (after sodium),  and has a key role in regulating body fluids and electrolyte balance.*

QUALIA’S CONCENTRATED SEA WATER MINERALS SOURCING

Concentrated Sea Water Minerals is a source of magnesium chloride containing not less than 34% chloride (34-55%) and 14% magnesium (14-21%). It also contains 60+ other naturally occurring minerals and trace minerals found in the Great Salt Lake (sulfate 1.5-6%, sodium 0.25-0.9%, potassium less than 0.4%, as examples).

Concentrated Sea Water Minerals is a non-GMO, vegan, gluten free and certified cGMP, Kosher, and Halal ingredient.

CONCENTRATED SEA WATER MINERALS FORMULATING PRINCIPLES AND RATIONALE

Minerals can be categorized based upon the amounts the human body needs. Macrominerals include calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and sulfur. Our body requires large amounts—more than 100 mg daily—of these minerals. Microminerals are minerals we need in smaller or “trace” amounts, so they are also called trace minerals or trace elements. There are dozens of trace minerals, some of which, including chromium, copper, selenium, and zinc, have essential and well-established functions in support of human health. Many other trace minerals have had less research, but we would naturally consume them in minute amounts in food and water. Concentrated sea water minerals are used to supply a full spectrum of these trace minerals, along with magnesium and chloride. The amount included is intended to augment dietary intake by replacing some of the minerals that may be removed from water with water purification or depleted in soil because of modern agricultural practices.*
