海洋礦物質 : 最天然的超級營養品

海洋礦物質
最天然的超級營養品


在大自然的眾多天然營養元素中,絕對沒有像「礦物質」和「微量元素」所帶給人類的影響力。當每一個小嬰兒準備誕生之前,都是必須待在母親的子宮裡,長達九個月左右,然後在羊水之中,安穩的吸收豐富的蛋白質、葡萄糖、脂肪和有機物,這樣才能奠定寶寶出生後的健康基礎,其中,海水就像羊水那樣,蘊藏了 許多生命所需要的重要元素!

「礦物質」能在進入人體體內之後,必須在一種微妙的多元組合運行下,才能有效地啟動其生化作用。而針對我們日常生活中飲食所攝取的含量,有時候很難評估我們吃進體內的礦物質總合,有沒有達到一定的幫助,因為其中所產生的生化作用是無法評估的。假設上網搜尋有關「礦物質」和「微量元素」的資料,你會發現更多讓人摸不著頭緒的資訊。現在是資訊超載的二十一世紀,人人都可以很快的從各種方式得到自己所想要的資料,更何況只是查詢有關「礦物質」和「微量元素」呢?無論如何,很可能你手中所有的只是片面的資料,並無法整體詳細地介紹各種生化作用,以致於讓人產生各種疑慮。

這些繁雜且不易了解的資料多半是想要解釋,為何人們需要這些元素,然後逐一解釋各種不同類型的礦物質和微量元素在人體中所扮演的角色,不過現在,我們必須把焦點放在--你該如何去攝取這些礦物質和微量元素?在商場上,我們所能看到的產品,大部分都是單一礦物質的萃取物,而從這部分看來,我們所推廣的「海洋礦物質」,是唯一真正能達到均衡礦物質與微量元素的天然補充劑。

礦物質 ---- 就像是一支球隊一樣,必須互相合作

在各種有效率的生化機制運轉下,我們的身體是必須仰賴各種不同的礦物質、蛋白質、葡萄糖、維生素,還有微量元素共同作用,才能平均體內所需的養分,而讓我們健康的活下去。如果沒有礦物質的互動,那麼脂肪、蛋白質與維生素將無法進行代謝,更不可能為人體內所利用。而礦物質在多種酵素反應中,也扮演著重要的角色,舉例來說,就像是大家所熟知的,「鈣」有益於人體骨骼的生長與修復,不過,即使在這個資訊超載的時代,可能有些人還是只知道鈣質的好處,卻不知道,想要擁有好的骨骼,鈣質必須和鎂、磷以及其他一些必要的微量元素 一起運作,才會達到其照顧與保護骨格的效果。

如果要討論有關於人體細胞和礦物質的機能互動,那真是討論不完,但是我們還是可以看到以下一些重點,來幫助我們了解更詳細其中的奧秘:

當礦物質和微量元素一起正常的運作,我們的肌肉組織才可以得到適當的活力,同時還可以放鬆緊崩的神經。

我們的內分泌系統,無論男女老少,都很需要各種不同且均衡的礦物質和微量元素,來幫助均衡人體內的荷爾蒙。

在各種不同的礦物質裡,「鎂」扮演著不可或缺的角色,因為它可以幫助體內的感應神經正常運作,還能保持正常的體壓。

礦物質和微量元素是生命所必須的重要元素,而且可以在人體內進行千種不同的酵素反應,更藉此幫助維持人體內酵素的均衡。

攝取定量的礦物質和微量元素,可以促進我們調和體內的氨機酸和DNA綜合體。

人體內的電解質是維持健康很重要的因素,因為電子是負責讓細胞正常的活動與交流,也是讓我們的細胞結合起來的必要元素,而其動力的來源,就是來自礦物質和微量元素。

對於礦物質,我們已經有相當程度的研究與了解,和從前相比,現在有更多人在推銷有關礦物質的產品,因此現代人也比以前的人對礦物質有有更深的了解。在過去的基本常識裡,大家都知道「鈣質」是幫助骨骼強壯,讓我們身體健康的重要元素之一,還有「鎂」可幫助心臟疾病的預防、穩定人體的體壓及血液循環。這些在現今的地球村中,已經不再是新聞了,近年來,聯合國也發現一些關於「礦物質」與「微量元素」的重要性,同時也是試著告訴人們,微量營養素才是輔助人體健康的主角,而且可幫助人體正常運作以及預防疾病的預防。

很多現在人對於礦物質的認知,已經失去應有的整體觀,因為許多大公司的產品宣傳和研究實驗報告,都只針對單一的礦物質,例如,鈣質可幫助骨頭的保健,鎂有助於心臟的運作機能,這有意無意中,往往會造成人們對一些必要元素的認知缺乏,因為其實還是需要其他的礦物質一起運作,才會達到實際廣告的功效,因此,無庸置疑的,這種誤解,容易會讓現代人不懂得要攝取均衡的礦物質與電解質,因而導致的更多無法解釋的文明病。相反的,如果只攝取這幾種特定的礦物質,也是必然行不通的,所以要如果要選擇「體內礦物質不足」或是「體內營養失衡」,兩者選其一,您會選哪一種呢?我寧可兩種都不要。

缺乏礦物質或是沒有攝取足夠的量都會妨礙人體的吸收、排泄功能,以及有效解決體內均衡問題的能力,這會使我們陷於缺乏均衡的惡性循環之中,其中最重要的事,就是必須要讓不同的礦物質,例如蛋白質、葡萄糖、維生素,還有微量元素都得以平衡,同理如果攝取過量,同樣也會帶來不良的影響。


「礦物質」已經是公認的營養品

令人感到訝異的是,現代有很多人都想減肥,但是他們所採取的減法法,都是只吃自以為是健康的食物,然後再吃些綜合維他命,認為這樣就是健康的了。而從這樣的思維中看來,很明顯的,在人們的心目中,礦物質的重要性似乎不是那麼重要。

事實上很多人都不了解在人體發展營養的過程和強化身體健康中,礦物質所扮演的重要角色。更何況,礦物質不僅對於人類很重要,對於植物的世界來說,礦物質也是主要的生命力來源,無論是否喜歡吃水果或蔬菜,你都必須要了解,蔬果與植物也是人類攝取營養的重要來源。

礦物質對於動植物的重要性,簡單來說,如果沒有了礦物質,就不會再有蔬菜水果,就算有,那種不含礦物質成分的蔬菜水果,其中的營養價值也等於零。再者,礦物質和微量元素供給五穀類、家禽類和蔬果類的營養成分,其重要性是無可取代的,因為我們必須真正了解,如果動、植物沒有攝取到定量的礦物質,那麼其他的養分根本是起不了作用的。


礦物質是讓其他營養能結合的重要關鍵

礦物質不僅是一種營養品,更是自然界中主要的營養品,甚至可以說,其他種類的養分才是附屬的。也就是說,土壤裡所種植的農作物成長的好不好,也和土壤裡面礦物質的多寡有關。舉例而言,大家都知道維他命C,同時知道這是橘子所提供的重要營養成分之一,但如果土壤裡面沒有均衡的礦物質和微量元素,橘子是不可能提供足夠的維他命C,由此看來,我們幾乎可以說,維他命C其實只是附屬的營養成分,而大部分的營養成分都是第二等的營養品,因為一般的廣告宣傳上都沒有把礦物質和微量元素包括在裡面。但是如果希望土壤變得健康,且能提供各種必需營養素讓蔬果吸收,那就必須借助礦物質與微量元素的功用。總之,均衡的礦物質以及各式各樣的微量元素,才是幫助蔬果植物長的更好、更美、更天然的重要關鍵。

「海洋礦物質(Sea Minerals)」已經慢慢在世界開始流行起來了。在澳洲、美國,還有一些亞洲國家,例如台灣與新加坡,都已經有實驗報告顯示,礦物質對於動植物的具體幫助,這也再次證明,使用過海洋礦物質的農產品,確實長的更美、更好、更營養。



讓您的植物長更好的見證 (GROPAL)

蕃茄:

來自美國克羅拉多州小鎮的蕃茄農夫,嘗試在自己種植的蕃茄田上,分成兩區來做實驗,一區試著使用「海洋礦物質」,而使用兩次海洋礦物質來耕種之後,比照另外一區完全沒有加入任何東西,和平常一樣的蕃茄田,前者實驗中的蕃茄田,能生產出更大顆(約大兩倍)且更香甜的蕃茄。

麥子:

來自美國蒙它那洲種麥子的農夫,也嘗試在自己種植的麥田上分成兩區,一區使用海洋礦物質來做實驗,在一英畝的麥田上,農夫使用1.6公升的海洋礦物質,而僅使用一次海洋礦物質幫助耕種之後,比照另外一塊沒有加入任何東西,和平常一樣的麥田,前者實驗中所種植的麥穗,便生產出多了百分之五的高蛋白,而且維他命的成分也增加了,甚至有些農夫還報告說,增值的產量高達百分之二十。


蔬菜水果

蔬果農夫也回報說,尚未到結果實的時候,在這些使用海洋礦物質的蔬果農作物上,有些就已經是結好果實了,而且大部分都長的更成熟、更健康。而且蔬菜類的成長率普遍提升了百分之二十,有些甚至達到百分之百的成長率。



即使只是使用少量的海洋礦物質來幫助耕種,或是來做實驗,從結果來看,都得到相當驚人的成果,究其原因,答案就是--對種植的土壤來說,礦物質和微量元素都是不可或缺的重要元素。

尤其是海洋礦物質所提共的養分,不僅在幫助耕種時滋養蔬果植物,同時也在光合作用的過程中,幫助農作物順利的轉換各種養分,所以才敢大聲地說--如果沒有足夠的礦物質,植物就沒有充足的養分了。

如果能夠了解,礦物質在動植物轉換營養過程中的重要性,就能善用礦物質和微量元素,甚至要了解,如果拿幾毫克的維他命和幾毫克礦物質相比,礦物質的價值就好比黃金一樣珍貴。


礦物質絕對是人體所需要的

如果只是單純從知識上認知來了解礦物質對人類的重要性,從書局買本書來查詢,或是上網搜尋,通常很多人會隨意地瀏覽之後,就被某些文章說服,然後覺得自己其實已經很健康了。有些資料甚至認為,因為缺乏礦物質所引起疾病的機率不大,事實上,如果這種認知是正確的,那這世界也不會有那多的莫名其妙的疾病,而應該是更完美的。如果礦物質攝取不足,加上三餐不定時、不定量的飲食習慣,還有晚睡晚起不健康的生活方式,都會造成我們的身體抵抗力降低,甚至連腸胃吸收能力都會有很大的影響,尤其是對我們的皮膚與內臟來說,更是大大的傷害,所以礦物質的攝取不足,是很容易導致疾病的產生。

現在的文明社會,一般人都是只吃「想吃的」,而少數人才是吃「應該吃的」,再加上,喝酒和喝茶過、過度依賴藥物,然後頭痛醫頭,腳痛吃止痛藥。凡此種種,大家要了解的是,這些出進去的藥物、咖啡因還有酒精,對人體最大的傷害在於,人體必須要使用大量的礦物質和本身的養分去分解消化這些有害的成分,如果無法達到平衡,有些人還時常會感覺頭暈呢!

在人類正常的排泄過程裡,除了工作或運動時的流汗,大小便也是消耗人體體內原有礦物質的一大途徑。而現代人都習慣飲用寶特瓶奘的水,但是那些水通常是經過淨化的,感覺是好像是對於人體比較好,但是事實上卻不是這樣,這些謬思往往和廣告有很大的關連,基本上,其實連自來水或是消過毒的水,都比瓶裝水來的好!西方國家也已證實,水龍頭的水是無害的 所以對於人體的需要,就讓您自己做選擇。

澳洲的夏天是很出名的熱,有親身經歷的人都會知道,在這麼熱的工作環境下, 一整天下,往往來流失好幾公升的汗,這可事會造成頭痛的現象的,因為會看不清楚,嚴重點還會導致偏頭痛。其中的原因,就在於體內的礦物質會隨著大量汗水流失。該要怎樣補給呢?現在「海洋礦物質」推出一種可攜帶式的小瓶裝 PURE AUSSIE,在一公升的水中,滴入大約10-20滴,就可自然迅速補充因為流汗而流失的礦物質。


礦物質攝取的多寡和疾病有一定的關聯

有些有趣的相關報告指出,在台灣,有些地方的水質屬於「硬水區」 (水裡有天然的礦物質的地區),而生活在硬水區的居民,生病的機率比一般地方,如「軟水區」 (水裡面沒有礦物質的地區),來的要低很多,尤其是得到心臟病和腸癌的獲病率來的小很多。

還有其他的報告也明顯指出,因為「鎂」可以幫助心臟和血壓維持在一個正常的範圍,而藉此可以了解,偏頭痛或是未知的疾病,像是突發性心臟病,主要是因為情緒上的震撼,而情緒和礦物質的攝取以及睡眠,有相當大的關聯。



增強礦物質的攝取:

對於礦物質的攝取量其實是因人而異的,有些人吃什麼都吸收的很快,有些則很慢。其實攝取量與和排泄量也是有相當的關聯,這和人體本身的飲食習慣、年紀以及酒精、咖啡因的飲用,甚至是生病時使用藥物有關。更進一步說,生病的時候或是生活方式的驟變,都會直接影響到我們體內礦物質以及養分的吸收。

不同的人種文化與工作背景,甚至是住在不同的國家、地方以及氣候,對於礦物質的攝取量也有不同的需要。譬如說,在南亞洲的人們,因為居住的地方比較潮濕,相對的,對於礦物質的攝取都明顯短缺,而在這些缺乏礦物質的地區,就必須要以不一樣的方式來補充人體需要的礦物質。在很多地方,人們通常都是飲用瓶裝水或是淨化過的水,不論是沒有選擇或是不懂,但是還是有很多人想要飲用真正的「礦泉水」。

最危險的殺手就是飲用完全沒有處理過的水,因為水中的細菌是未知的,而現今的科技已經可以完全把細菌和不好的東西去除,但是,同時也去除了水裡的礦物質和微量元素。這也算是一種需要付費的衛生安全交易,這就是為何瓶裝水要付費的原因,因為如此,我們才可以安全的喝水,可是同時,喝進去的水也已經什麼都沒有了,甚至這些水進入體內之後,還會稀釋我們體內的養分以及礦物質。以上例子在先進國家中是非常常見的 。

雖然水不是最主要攝取礦物質的來源,但是水可以幫助人體吸收,也可以把礦物質和微量元素稀釋到一個平均的比例,然後以水溶性的方式回到體內,同時,水分也可以幫助人體的代謝和消化。食物要經由胃消化過後,才能把養分送到各個器官,而且吃不同食物就會要不同消化的時間。

人體在進行消化時,需要一定的生化反應,例如,胃酸和某些酵素先把食物分解消化,然後將食物裡面的養分抽取出來。而當人體成長到一定的過程中,身體就會開始衰老,也就是說,身體如果同時做很多事情就會顯得比較容易疲倦,而且恢復的時間也是比年輕時更長。在老化的過程中,排泄功能的衰退,就像是越老身體越留不住好的東西。胃酸亦如此,所以從年輕到老,我們都要知道真正的保健之道。

所以我們要非常注意自己的身體到底需要什麼,還有是什麼樣的食物和飲水可以幫助我們維持健康,像是食用天然的深綠色蔬果,以及改善飲食習慣來平衡自身的健康。

忙碌的現代人往往難以面面俱到的兼顧每一項身體的需求。海洋礦物質(SeaMinerals)是降低鈉離子含量,且抽取高濃度海水的液體溶液,這樣高濃度的礦物質水,含有維持生命及促進健康所需的各種礦物質,更重要的是,海洋礦物質中所含有的礦物質成份與濃度,與人體內血液礦物質的成份與濃度幾乎相同。



海洋蘊藏著天然的無限生命力

現今的科技已經證明,海洋是各種生命的起源,及人類可生存的原因,因此適合人體飲用的礦物質是唯一真正均衡的礦物質補充劑,百分之百純天然,百分之百取自大自然的造物。

而且經由完整的處理過程,「海洋礦物質」內的鈉含量絕對不會過高,以達到人體適用的平衡點為基準。海洋礦物質是運用太陽能蒸發與沉澱的自然力量,來降低其中的鈉含量。海洋礦物質中保有的鹽味是來自高量的鎂、鉀及他種礦物質所形成。

在每日服用「海洋礦物質」劑量中,所能提供的鈉含量,只是維持生命所需的鈉含量的一部分,而飲食中大部分的鈉是來自製備與儲存食物所使用的食鹽。

在大堡礁的天然地點處,本公司設立廠房,嚴格監控的管理,將海水收集至特殊設計的池內,再利用太陽能的蒸發力與沉澱,使海水緩慢的濃縮,進而逐漸形成富含巨量的礦物質與微量礦物質的濃縮液。在此濃縮階段,多餘的鈉會以結晶的型態,從濃縮溶液中除去,再將溶液移至另一個池內,使其進一步濃縮,最後再移至到可供人飲用的濃縮池。

歷經數月的太陽濃縮,而形成富含各種礦物質,而其中鈉元素的含量明顯以降地(約佔2%)的濃縮液。此種可以抗微生物及抗菌的高礦物質溶液,送至本公司內,以專利的製程處理,來確保供人類使用時的功效與適當性。在此溶液漫長的製程中,本公司隨時持續嚴加監控,同時也是以一百比一的比例,就是每一百加崙的海水只能壓縮成一加崙的海洋礦物質,並固定將樣本送至獲澳洲檢驗機構學會(N.A.T.A)認證的實驗室,進行分析檢驗,以確保此天然產品的純度、一致性,及各種礦物質的濃度介於接受範圍內。

What are Liquid Minerals?

Liquid Minerals is derived from the ocean, whereby 98% of the sodium is removed. As the ocean's minerals and our Blood Plasma are almost chemically identical, Liquid Minerals are the finest and the best source for nutritional minerals and trace elements in nature. It is ALL NATURAL & ORGANIC !!!

You may be surprised to know that ocean water is a rich and balanced source of all minerals and trace elements in concentrations that are not only beneficial to man, but every living creature and life form on earth.

Why should I use Liquid Minerals?

Did you know that a foetus starts its life in its mother’s womb comfortably suspended in a warm solution much like ocean water? Is it a coincidence that sea minerals and our very own “blood plasma” are almost chemically identical?

Liquid Minerals is the ultimate and highest source of natural minerals and trace elements and IN THE RIGHT RATIO to replenish what we use.


Who should take ocean minerals ?

Everyone!

Mineral and other micro nutrient deficiencies are now recognized as having a brain draining effect, impeding not only the growth and wellbeing of hundreds of millions of children and adults, they also disrupt a person’s academic and production potential, confining whole nations to poverty for generations.

A mineral deficiency in children will lead to underachievement in school. It will have a detrimental effect on the child’s, and adult’s natural immune -defences. Adequate levels of minerals and other micro nutrients will do the complete opposite, freeing up the child to excel in study, work and play and freeing you up to enjoy life to the fullest.

The Definition of Minerals

These are naturally-occurring inorganic elements that have a characteristic crystalline structure, chemical composition and physical properties. Close examination of the basic building blocks of life reveals that they are formed out of elemental substances we have called minerals.

Mineral species are generally limited to solid substances, with the exception of metallic mercury and water. All the rocks forming the earth's crust consists of minerals, and encased in the mineral ratios of whole sea water is life information itself. When the earth was created, a perfectly-balanced cocktail of these minerals became the catalyst for the mysterious event that we know as the evolution of life.

Minerals in the sea

Water is an extraordinary solvent (refer: The geochemistry of sea water) and is capable (over time) of literally dissolving, via chemical and physical processes, most of the elements found in nature. When a mineral is dissolved by water its balanced molecular structure is broken down into ionic form, either positively or negatively charged. The excess or lack of electrons in the resulting free-flowing ions accounts for their dynamic capacity to attract or repel each other. This creates a myriad of molecular structures with the capacity to communicate through the transmission of electrical signals.

Ionic minerals

These are unbound mineral elements of either positive or negative charge. Highly active, and sometimes known as a 'radical', they have a capacity (called 'valency') to form bonds with other ions or repel other ions. Some of the most essential minerals show a dependency on this ionic form for absorption in the intestinal lumen and/or for physiological validation. Through digestive processes (some of which are dependent upon sufficient stomach acids) the body is able to break down other forms of organically- or inorganically-bound minerals to their ionic form, and thereby increase their rate of absorption.

Electrolytes

Electrolytes are substances whose molecular structure split into free, individual ions when dissolved, thereby allowing them to conduct electrical energy. Salt is an electrolyte. Dried sea water does not reconstitute the elemental minerals that have been dissolved but rather the free-flowing ions form weak molecular bonds (such as sodium chloride, NaCl) and precipitate out as solid crystals that are easily dissolved back into their separate ionic forms in solution. To reconstitute dissociated ionic minerals into pure elemental forms such as gold or iron, a significant amount of energy is required.

Colloidal minerals

Colloidal minerals are tiny non-dissolved mineral particles suspended in water. Most colloidal minerals are held in suspension by their tiny size and/or a static electrical charge. Colloidal minerals must be digested by stomach acids in order to dissolve the minerals into ionic form ready for absorption.

Chelate

Chelate is a form of mineral ion which is bound into, or part of, a carbon based or 'organic' molecule. In order for a chelated mineral to be bioavailable the organic molecule must first be digested and broken down into its constituent elements, allowing the release of readily-absorbed mineral ions. It is claimed that organic mineral chelates are more easily separated out into ionic form by digestion than colloidal minerals.

Macrominerals

Macrominerals are minerals that the body requires in doses of more than 100 milligrams per day for proper maintenance of health. Calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus are macrominerals.

Trace minerals

Trace (or micro) minerals are minerals that the body requires in doses of less than 100 milligrams per day. Zinc, iodine, iron, manganese and copper are trace minerals.

Biomin - Balanced Minerals in the right ratio

Concentrated liquid minerals such as BioMin is a rich source of soluble minerals. It contains 84 ionic minerals along a long chain molecule in a dynamic fluid relationship, the minerals can act in concert or individually.

The soluble minerals in sea water:

  • act as ionised conductors of the body's electrical current, which is necessary for all bodily functions.
  • act as catalysts and activators of other nutrients including vitamins.
  • are the building blocks of enzymes, hormones and other natural body chemicals used by the body to perform specific functions.
  • have an equalising and balancing effect. Body fluids, fluid pressures, and pH levels are balanced by minerals. In the absence of certain trace minerals, various heavy metals are more likely to accumulate. Trace minerals are often administered in the medical treatment of such disorders as lead poisoning.
  • are essential in digestion and absorption of nutrients by our body. Large amounts of chlorides are necessary for the body to make hydrochloric acid (for digestion). Other minerals are used in the absorption process.
  • replace the minerals that are lost in distilled water. Research shows that animals, as well as humans, benefit from mineral nutrients. Dramatic improvements in vigour, coat, and performance are reported in dogs, cats, chickens and horses.
  • are one of the highest quality and least expensive sources of magnesium. Magnesium is an important nutrient that hardens and strengthens bones and teeth.
  • have an effect on mental stability, thought process and reactions to stressful situations.
  • help to prevent viral infection through neutralising the acid attack mechanism of infection.

Specific mineral nutrients have a myriad of individual functions, many of which are yet to be discovered. What is known, however, is that imbalanced interactions of minerals, caused by consistent consumption of single processed or refined minerals, causes many long-term health problems such as hypertension. This is particularly evident when it comes to the most commonly refined mineral that many people take into their diet on a daily basis - sodium chloride.

Whenever the consumption of a single nutrient is significantly altered, an entirely new dietary pattern is created. Nutrients occur in clusters in the diet and may therefore act synergistically to alter physiological variables such as blood pressure.

When minerals are consumed in proper ratios, however, they can have an equally profound benefit on human health. Certain minerals and trace minerals, in balance, can serve additional non-classical roles like acting as antioxidants. Minerals and trace minerals can also assist each other in the process of assimilation, and create safety buffers for minerals that have the potential of being toxic to human health.

Within the blood stream, lymphatic fluid, cells and extracellular fluid, minerals and trace minerals are found completely dissociated in solution. This is also known as 'electrolyte' or 'ionic' form. In this state, they all have specific positive or negative electrical signatures that attract or repel. These ions exist in a state of perpetual dynamics; a motion that seeks as its outcome an equilibrium of relationships.

The body can use minor changes in this equilibrium to create proper osmotic pressure, move nutrients to areas that need them most and create electrical impulses that run the entire nervous system. This same equilibrium can also be found in the waters of the ocean where minerals and trace minerals collected and concentrated in liquid ionic form for millions of years, existing in varying ratios throughout the oceans of the world across space, place and time. On a macrocosmic/microcosmic scale, it is astounding to realise that the dynamic equilibrium that takes place with liquid ionic minerals and trace minerals in healthy blood plasma, lymphatic and cellular fluids is the same basic balance that is found in sea water.

By understanding the mechanism of dynamic equilibrium we can understand the problems associated with an excess consumption of sodium in the diet unbalanced by an intake of other complex mineral salts. Sodium exists in the body in strict ratios with a myriad of other mineral ions. An increase in sodium levels means the body must balance it with the other associated minerals to maintain equilibrium. If the intake of minerals in the diet is depleted the body will draw minerals from its own internal reserves, for example, calcium laid down in bone tissue. Minerals leached from the body's internal reserves can be easily lost, flushed out with sweat and urine. This is why sodium is often referred to as the 'calcium robber'.

The Ocean

Geography & Processes

70 per cent of the earth's surface is covered by the oceans. These vast reservoirs, together with inland waters, ice, snow and water vapour, form what is known as the hydrosphere. The ocean covers a total area of 361,253,200 square kilometres and has an average depth of between three and five kilometres. The Marinas Trench in the Pacific, where a sounding of 11,040 metres has been made, is believed to be the deepest part of the ocean.

Ninety-three per cent of the earth's water is stored in the oceans and polar sea ice, while most of the remainder is stored as underground water (four per cent). All the rivers, lakes, snow caps, glaciers and clouds together contain less water than is stored underground. Only a tiny proportion of the earth's fluid mass is contained in living organisms but all these forms of life have a high proportion of water in their bodies.

The life cycle of the ocean, as that of the earth, is the closest one can ever get to the greatest of all inventions, perpetuum mobile, the perpetual motion machine. And the secret is that nothing was composed by nature that could not be recomposed by nature that could not be recomposed, recycled and brought back into service again in another useful wheel in a smooth running global machine.
Robbie Newman, op. cit.

The ocean is constantly moving and so is the air. The two are inextricably linked. The ocean's surface circulation is driven by wind and by density differences. The atmospheric heat engine, powered by the sun, is also driven by the sea.

The polar nature of the water molecule causes it to form polymer-like chains of up to eight molecules. A certain amount of energy goes into linking the molecules in these chains. This explains the ocean's ability to absorb and retain heat energy that then may be transported by ocean currents. The molecular chains of up to eight molecules occur for about 90 per cent of all of the molecules. As a consequence, water has the highest heat capacity of all liquids except ammonia. Again this is due to the energy that goes into the chain formation. This high heat capacity is the primary reason that the ocean is so important in the world climate system. Unlike the land, the ocean stores large amounts of the heat energy that it receives from the sun. This heat is carried by ocean currents, thereby exporting or importing heat to various regions. This aspect of the ocean plays an important role in the interaction between the sea and atmosphere and the determination of global climate.
Pickard and Emery, The Physical Properties of Seawater (Ch. 3), University of California

The sea in motion represents the essence of life. Alternately focused and dispersed, swelling and receding, the tremendous energy of the atmosphere and the ocean combine to form some of the most spectacular of nature's physical interplays.

Another important effect of the chainlike molecular structure is the high surface tension of water. This is due to its high viscosity for its atomic weight due to the chains resisting shear. In the ocean, one effect of this can be seen in the formation of surface capillary waves with wavelengths on the order of centimetres and whose restoring force includes surface tension as well as gravity. Such capillary waves, despite their small size, are important in determining the friction between wind and water which is responsible for the generation of larger waves and for the frictionally-driven circulation of the surface layer of the ocean.
Pickard and Emery, op. cit.

Minerals Nutrition

No Minerals, No Health

When the intake of minerals in our system becomes unbalanced or depleted, it draws from stores laid down in the muscles, the liver and even the bones.

Mineral nutrients consist of two classes: the major elements such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, iodine, and potassium; and trace elements such as copper, cobalt, manganese, fluorine, and zinc. All of these must be supplied in our diet because the body is unable to manufacture its own and can only maintain its mineral balance for short periods of time.

Our ancestors long ago recognised the value of minerals in their diet, particularly those derived from the sea (as opposed to mine salt from the earth), although they had none of the sophisticated knowledge about natural biology or physiology that we have today. Instinct alone was their guide.

Minerals provide the spark for many of the body's cellular processes and keep them running efficiently. Without these finely-tuned chemical reactions no organism could function. Inorganic mineral nutrients are also essential in the structural composition of hard and soft body tissues, and are necessary in processes such as the action of enzyme systems, the contraction of muscles, nerve reactions and the clotting of blood. Humans need a wide range of minerals to maintain good health and we need them in the right amounts and relations to each other (coaction). A variation of as little as one per cent in established limits will cause noticeable pathological states to occur.

Whenever a dietary deficiency of trace elements occurs, the cell loses its ability to control its ions - with dire consequences for humans. Even a minute loss of ion equilibrium causes cells to burst, nervous disorders, brain damage, or muscle spasms, as well as a breakdown of the cell regenerating process and growth.
Seasalt's Hidden Powers, Jacques de Langre, Ph.D, Happiness Press 1994

The biological demands of the human body require mineral salt concentrations in the blood and the body fluids to be maintained at a constant level. Too little salt, or consumption of only refined salt, activates a hormonal mechanism that compensates by reducing the excretion of salt in the urine and from sweat glands. On a completely salt-less diet, small amounts of salt are lost via the kidneys and perspiration. The body then attempts to adjust to this situation by accelerating its secretion of water so that the blood's salt concentration is maintained at the level vital for survival. If this process continues the result is gradual desiccation, dehydration and finally death, which is often preceded by a loss of rational thinking (dementia). The cells literally die of thirst.

Conversely, a lack of water consumption will activate the body to retain water in order to maintain the salt concentration in the blood. In this case the hormonal control mechanism works in reverse. It attempts to reduce the secretion of water and increase the salt secretion to maintain the correct salt level. The body's normal craving for salt and for water strives toward the same vital need: a balanced and healthy internal saline fluid.

Every second of every day our bodies rely on ionic minerals and trace minerals to conduct and generate billions of tiny electrical impulses. Without these impulses not a single muscle, including the heart muscle, would be able to function. The brain would be unable to function and the cells would be unable to use osmosis to balance water pressure and absorb nutrients. In fact, many vital body processes depend on the movement of ions across cell membranes.

Recent research has indicated that minerals may play a significant role against a variety of degenerative diseases and processes. They may also prevent and reduce injury from environmental pollutants, enhance the ability to work and learn, and protect the body from the effects of minerals that may become toxic at high concentrations.
Mineral Absorption

The form that different minerals take also plays a key role in how well they are transported through the circulatory system and absorbed by the aqueous microenvironment of the cells. Inter-relationships of minerals and trace minerals in their non-soluble form are not nearly as effective as those of soluble minerals.

No matter what the nutritional potential of a food it might as well be non-existent if it doesn't pass the test of absorption. Minerals that the body is unable to break down to their ionic form are likely to pass from the body as though they were never consumed.

Minerals that are absorbed in ionic form are in true liquid solution and have either positive or negative charges. They also have unique properties that distinguish them from each other and allow them to play a special role in biochemical communication throughout the body. These communications help nutrients work synergistically and enable them to move to areas of the body that need them most. Imbalances of any of these ions or certain trace ions in the body can lead to dysfunction in the conduction of electrical messages.

Much recent research indicates that the physiological reactions of our bodies are blocked and cannot utilise trace elements properly (mainly due to poor diet, pollution, stress and so on). This malfunction can lead to anything from simple deficiencies to the establishment of chronic illness.

The Sea Water

The Geochemistry of Sea Water

The complex mixture of minerals and liquid that make up sea water consists of 96.5 per cent water, 3.4 per cent salts, and smaller amounts of other substances including dissolved inorganic and organic materials, particulates, and a few atmospheric gases. It is the salt that gives sea water its taste. Salt is a chemical compound of elemental atoms that act as molecules and ions when in solution. Eighty-four of the earth's basic elements have been identified in sea water as either macro or trace mineral ions.

Ocean water is naturally alkaline and its bicarbonate buffering results in a normal pH of 8.0-8.3. Metal bicarbonates such as magnesium bicarbonate and calcium bicarbonate will only form in the natural aqueous, alkaline state of the ocean. These mineral combinations do not occur in solid or dry form.

Water is compatible with more substances than any known solvent and the minerals in sea water are fully dissolved, which means they exist in a free-flowing, non-bound, ionic form; they are not tiny suspended metallic particles in water. Water molecules align in such a way as to shield each ion in sea water and thereby maintain dissolution. This property helps to explain the abundance of ions in the ocean that give it its salty character. Sea water cannot be artificially created in the laboratory.

The complex spectrum of macro and trace minerals found in sea water is the result of the interaction of natural forces over millions of years; a process not yet fully understood by scientists. The trace elements of sea water should not be underestimated. For example, there is more gold in a ton of sea water than in a ton of good to average gold ore.

The chemical composition of sea water is influenced by a wide variety of chemical transport mechanisms. Rivers add dissolved and particulate chemicals to the oceanic margins, and windborne particulates are carried to mid-ocean regions thousands of kilometres from their continental source. Hydrothermal solutions that have circulated through crustal materials beneath the sea floor add both dissolved and particulate materials to the deep ocean. Organisms in the upper ocean convert dissolved materials to solids, which eventually settle at greater depths. Particulates in transit to the sea floor, as well as materials both on and within the sea floor, undergo chemical exchange with the surrounding solutions. Through these local and regional chemical input and removal mechanisms, each element in the oceans tends to exhibit spatial and temporal concentration variations. Physical mixing in the oceans (thermohaline and wind-driven circulation) tends to homogenise the chemical composition of sea water. The opposing influences of physical mixing and of biogeochemical input and removal mechanisms result in a substantial variety of chemical distributions in the oceans.
Encyclopedia Brittanica

In the following table the 84 readily identifiable elements in sea water are listed:

A significant feature of sea water is that while the total concentration of dissolved salts varies from place to place, the ratios of the more abundant components remain almost constant. This 'law' of constant proportions was discovered by Dittmar (1884) based on 77 samples of sea water collected from around the world by the Challenger Expedition, and confirmed a hypothesis first conceived by Forchhammer (1865).

Salinity has been defined as the mass in grams of solid material in a kilogram of sea water after evaporating the water away. For example, the average salinity of ocean water is about 35 grams of salts per kilogram of sea water (g/kg), previously written as 'S = 358/oo' or as 'S = 35ppt' and read as 'thirty-five parts per thousand'.
Pickard and Emery, op. cit. (Revised ed.)

Many of the characteristics of sea water correspond to those of water in general, owing to their common chemical and physical properties. For example, the molecular structure of sea water, like that of fresh water, favours the formation of bonds among molecules.

However, some of the distinctive qualities of sea water are attributable to its salt content. The internal resistance to flow is higher than that of fresh water because of its higher salinity. The density of sea water also is higher for the same reason. Sea water's freezing point is lower than that of pure water and its boiling point is higher. It has excellent electrical conductivity in comparison to distilled water, which is a poor conductor. Apart from its stores of sodium chloride, sea water also constitutes a rich source of other commercially-important chemical elements such as magnesium and bromine.

Sea & Life

Creation, Evolution, Life and the Sea

The story of the oceans and their importance in the evolution of life on earth begins eons ago on a primeval planet.

For millions of years the water that was squeezed out of the cooling crust evaporated and rained down upon the newly-formed rock. Ever seeking the lowest level it carved out paths to create riverbeds, collected in pools and slowly filled the large basins that formed as the molten rock cooled.

From the lush chemical cocktail that bubbled in the embryonic oceans came the stirrings of all life.... Fish, amphibian and reptile, warm-blooded bird and mammal - each of us carries in our veins a salty stream in which the elements are combined in almost the same proportions as in sea water. This is our inheritance from the day, untold millions of years ago, when a remote ancestor having progressed from the one-celled to the many-celled stage, first developed a circulatory system in which the fluid was merely the water of the sea. In the same way, our lime-hardened skeletons are a heritage from the calcium-rich ocean of the Cambrian time. Even the protoplasm that streams within each cell of our bodies has the chemical structure impressed upon living matter when the first simple creatures were brought forth in the ancient sea ...
Racheal Carson - Environmentalist

Millions of years later the oceans continue to act as a source and reservoir of the very components of life. This vast, seemingly inexhaustible storehouse still supports a greater variety of life than any other habitat in the world.

The biochemically balanced matrix of 84 macro and trace elements in sea water still exist in the body's plasma and cellular fluid, just as the life of every mammal still begins in the aquatic environment of a female's womb.

The biodynamic quality of sea water is demonstrated by its resistance to duplication in the lab. Sea life, from simple brine shrimps through to complex cetacean marine mammals, will not survive in a solution of refined or mine salt. No sea creature can.

Salt & Sodium Chloride

All salt originally came from the sea.

Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is the product commonly referred to as 'salt'. However, sea salt is a far more complex salt than NaCl. Common salt should be marketed as 'sodium chloride, extracted from sea salt'.

The chemical industry is the largest consumer of salt using about 60% of total production. The industry predominantly converts the salt into chlorine, caustic and soda ash, without which petroleum refining, petrochemistry, organic synthesis, glass production and so on would not be possible.

The second largest user of salt is humankind. Humans need about 30% of total salt production to support their physiological functions and eating habits. Salt for food is the most 'taken for granted' commodity; available from thousands of sources in hundreds of qualities as table, cooking and industrial salt for food production.

About 10% of salt production is used for road de-icing, water treatment, production of cooling brines and other smaller applications.


Whatever the use of salt, industrialised salt production worldwide is focused on the recovery of pure sodium chloride only, clear of all 'impurities'. The purer the salt, the more valuable it is. In the chemical industry any contamination of the sodium chloride feedstock may have serious, even lethal consequences.

The 'impurities' in natural salt that the chemical industry refer to are any mineral or organic elements other than the single chemical, sodium chloride. Sea water contains an extraordinary number of other mineral elements in a complex and dynamic natural equilibrium . It is exactly these other constituents that 'BioMin' - liquid minerals has.

The crystal salt used in the processed food industry, whether stored in silos or used in a shaker, must retain free-flowing properties. Magnesium on the surface of the crystals absorbs humidity from the air and makes the salt damp. Silos cannot be emptied and shaker holes get blocked. The salt loses market and value. To overcome these hurdles, the industry adds free-flowing agents 341 and 554, and anti-caking agents 535 and 536, along with processed inorganic iodine in the form of potassium iodide.

Usage of Biomin


Minerals is Health

bioMin is a rich source of concentrated minerals and trace elements derived naturally from Australian Ocean Water.


Direction For Use

Adults : 2.5ml to 5ml / 1/2 to 1 teaspoon daily, best taken at evening meal time in juice or water.

Children : 5 drops daily diluted in fruit juice or water.

Due to the concentrated nature of the Minerals, do not take them undiluted.


Benefits of Biomin

A healthier seasoning

Unlike dry, refined forms of salt, BioMin retains the complex mineral ratios found in the ocean. BioMin's liquid form allows these minerals to work synergistically and in infinite combinations.

A healthier drink

Replenishment of lost fluid (rehydration) and mineral electrolytes is vitally important, particularly post-exercise. It is now a recognised fact of sports science that replacement of sodium lost in sweat is important in maximising the retention of ingested fluids. Ingestion of plain water delays rehydration because it decreases water absorption ability, reduces thirst and increases free-water clearance. The consumption of sodium that is naturally balanced within the complex mineral structure of BioMin allows the body to maintain or restore its dynamic equilibrium without straining internal reserves.

Mineral health

Many minerals are difficult for the body to absorb and not readily available in the best form in our diets. The body maintains a delicate balance of complex minerals in its internal fluids and imbalanced interactions between minerals can cause strain, depletion and malfunction of cells, often with dire consequences for human health. BioMIn's concentrated ionic form means minerals can move rapidly throughout the body where they act in a myriad of ways: building tissue, preventing disease, neutralising acid build-up, and enabling the body's electrical communications through muscles, nerves and the brain.

Research by Dr. Maynard Murray

The late Dr. Maynard Murray, an American pioneer in biology, health and agriculture discovered that seawater contains the minerals that are beneficial for human health.

Fact One:
From autopsies conducted on whales and dolphins, he discovered that sea mammals do not develop degenerative diseases.

Fact Two:
No trace of cancer was found among ocean mammals.

Fact Three:
No evidence of arteriosclerosis was found amongst sea mammals.

Fact Four:
Aging hardly occurs in the sea. Comparison of adult and newborn cells amongst sea mammals showed no evidence of chemical changes found in land animals.

After extensive research, Dr. Murray discovered that minerals in the sea were responsible for prolonging health amongst ocean mammals.

The greatest rediscovery of the 21st century

a healing solution from the earth’s oceans
is now in your hands.

For over 100 years and unknown to most of us, medical science has found a solution from the sea that not only assists in keeping away degenerative diseases but also improves the strength of our immune system and keeps us youthful.

This information is remarkable as strengthening the immune system is absolutely critical at this time when many stories in the mass media report on the prevalence of illnesses like bird flu and other strange viruses.

Don’t you agree that preventive measures on improving the immune system make us less susceptible to these kinds of illnesses and are a common sense approach to empowering ourselves?
