Alkaline Water Supplements

You'll find a lot of online vendors selling "Ionic Mineral Supplements". Most of these supplements fail to list the actual milligrams of minerals offered by their products. Most contain only trace amounts of minerals (Fulvic Acid for instance) which is useful but not enough to provide the body with the recommended daily allowance (milligrams worth of minerals).

There are also a lot of alkaline water drops on the market that raise the waters ph to as high as 10. This is accomplished with magnesium oxide. However, in order to benefit the body, water must contain a wide range of minerals, not just one. Taking just one mineral in excess is often counterproductive and harmful to the body. Furthermore, being alkaline alone does not make a water beneficial or healthy. You should also know that vendors who sell expensive water distillers will try and tell you that the minerals in water are not bio-available and may be harmful for health. (Without quoting any science) Google mineral water study and you'll find studies such as this one that proves that minerals in water are bioavailable and minerals in fact are very essential for good health.

Which mineral supplements when added to water promote good health? The mineral elements which are needed by the body in substantial amounts are calcium, phosphorous, iron, sulphur, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and chloride. In addition the body needs minute trace amounts of iodine, cooper, cobalt, manganese, zinc, selenium, and silicone. Our water mineral supplement contains all of these minerals, and high amounts of the most important among these which are Magnesium and Calcium.

We recommend filtering your tap water with a good 5 stage Reverse Osmosis system to remove the fluoride and pharma drugs as well as most everything from the water, making it in essence "deal water", void of anything. You can also make or buy distilled water, same thing, dead water with nothing in it. (We don't recommend water ionizers as they allow the fluoride and pharma drugs to pass through. Those machines are mostly scams). Step 2 is to sterilize the water (in case any viruses or bacteria is present) with our water ozonator. This also adds extra oxygen to the water (healthy). Finally, we recommend storing your water in glass jugs that contain 1 gram of our coral calcium granules (for trace minerals) and 1 gram of our IZ-San-C Min minerals (RDA amounts of Calcium and Magnesium). These water supplements will not alter the taste of the water or make it cloudy. It will however make your water super healthy, giving you almost as much bio-available calcium per glass as a glass of milk! (Studies show SanC-Min is absorbed and utilized two times more than milk) Below is more good information on these minerals.

Magnesium is considered to be one of the most important elements in life; not only in plants, where the chlorophyll molecule is built around an atom of magnesium, but also in animal life. Geologists believe that magnesium was twelve times more abundant in the pre-cambrian era. We know that sea water is strongly deficient in calcium but high in magnesium. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, after calcium.

Calcium could have had many origins, one of which is Magnesium (12Mg + 8O = 20Ca). At the Maritime Laboratory of Roscoff, a crayfish was put in a sea water basin from which limestone had been removed; the animal made its shell anyway. Magnesium converts to calcium when the body needs it, and chelates calcium out of the body as a natural calcium inhibitor when there is access calcium. In our organism certain mechanisms often enter into play:

Calcium may have other origins.

Calcium may also come from silicon and potassium. The complex interrelationships of Magnesium with other electrolytes and with hormonal and cellular functions helps one appreciate it's important role in over 300 enzymatic reactions, amino acid activation and DNA synthesis. Magnesium interacts and stimulates various hormones that help shuttle more calcium into the bones, and it's involvement in the processes relating to energy production.

A diet very high in calcium increases the elimination of magnesium. Epidemiological evidence suggests an association between magnesium deficiency and an increased risk of coronary artery disease. Magnesium blocks the physiological actions of calcium and promotes vasodilation possibly through interactions with the inner lining of blood vessels. Dietary supplement magnesium must exist with calcium in about a two to one proportion in the body. If this level of magnesium is not maintained, the excess calcium becomes a toxin to the body and can lead to asthma, kidney stone, heart disease, arthritis, senility, osteoporosis, arrhythmia, hardening of the arteries, calcification of tissues and organs. Most people are magnesium deficient and calcium excessive. As a calcium antagonist, magnesium is involved in relaxation of nerve and muscle tissue, and is an essential component in the regulation of neurotransmitters.

Proper calcium and magnesium consumption supports feeling younger and weight loss. It has been proposed the premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is nothing more than a symptom of premature aging caused by the calcification of female body parts stemming from magnesium deficiencies. Taking mega-doses of calcium will only accelerate this imbalance between Magnesium and calcium. The body begins to deteriorate at twenty rather than sixty. Women on a program of increased nutritional supplement magnesium reported a vanishing of the PMS symptom. Many of these women reported weight-loss, looking 10-15 years younger, increased energy, fewer wrinkles, secession in depression, and one sixty year old woman began to menstruate again. A new enjoyment of sex was also experienced.

Magnesium is required for protein synthesis, contractibility of muscle, excitability of nerves, a co-factor in a plethora of enzyme functions and is essential for the normal metabolism of potassium and calcium. The RDA for diet supplement magnesium is 350mg daily for adult males. However, this is believed to possibly be a low estimate.

Research & History

An astonishing amount of research has been done implicating long term magnesium deficiency in many diseases.

Back in 1915, a French surgeon, Prof. Pierre Delbet, M.D., performed a lot of "in vitro" [in test tube] and "in vivo" [in life] experiments with this solution and he became aware that it was good not only for external applications, but it was also a powerful immuno-stimulant and a tonic effect if taken by injections or even by mouth. He obtained very good results in: colitis, angiocholitis, cholecystitis, in the digestive apparatus; Parkinson's Disease, senile tremors and muscular cramps, in the nervous system, acne, eczema, psoriasis, warts, itch of various origins and chilblains, in the skin. There was a strengthening of hair and nails, a good effect on diseases typical of the aged (impotency, prostatic hypertrophy, cerebral and circulatory troubles) and on diseases of allergic origin (hay-fever, asthma, urticaria, and anaphylactic reactions). Epidemiological studies confirmed Dr. Delbet's views and demonstrated that the regions of soil with richer incidence of magnesium had less cancer, and vice versa.

Prof. Delbert wrote two books, Politique Preventive du Cancer (1944) and L'Agriculture et la Sante' (1945), which are well documented reports of all his studies on Magnesium Chloride on cancer prevention, diphtheria pharyngitis, tonsillitis, hoarseness, common cold, influenza, asthma, bronchitis, broncho-pneumonia, pulmonary emphysema, "children diseases" (whooping-cough, measles, rubella, mumps, scarlet fever . . ), alimentary and professional poisonings, gastroenteritis, boils, abscesses, erysipelas, whitlow, septic pricks (wounds), puerperal fever and osteomyelitis (acute or chronic inflammatory process of the bone).

More recent research

Studies have clearly shown beyond any mathematical or statistical contestation that magnesium ingestion is the source of rapid increase of calcium and phosphorus, and that this occurs within a few days when given in overdose.

Studies have further implicated low magnesium levels in migraines, osteoporosis, diabetes, type II (magnesium is thought to influence cellular insulin receptors), Growth failure, Vertigo, Anorexia, Multiple Sclerosis, tremor, arteriosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and a number of other conditions too numerous to list here. In 1964, in the laboratories of Institute National de la recherch? Agronomique, conducted an experiment with calves in order to demonstrate that the skeleton does not develop at all when the diet is deficient in magnesium. The calcium rate in the blood and muscles becomes too low and tetany results. Eventually death occurs, preceded by convulsions, if the magnesium deficiency is prolonged. Conversely, an overdose of magnesium helps develop the skeleton, hence we see clearly calcium and phophorus increase and a rapid increase in energy and weight. This occurs within a few days.

In 2000, Medi ca Company, Inc, Austria examined the effects of an oral magnesium supplement on brachial artery endothelial function and exercise tolerance in patients with coronary artery diseases. The study showed that oral magnesium supplementation results in a significant improvement in brachial artery endothelial function. The study demonstrated that oral magnesium supplementation is an adjuvant therapy for patients with coronary artery disease.

Magnesium and Cholesterol

Oral Magnesium chloride therapy improves coronary artery disease. Some laboratory and clinical trials have demonstrated that magnesium can reduce total and LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol. Experimental work has shown hypercoagulability and increased platelet aggregation during hypomagnesemia which contributes to thrombus formation. Magnesium is inversely related to platelet aggregation and ATP release; it can dependently inhibit a wide variety of agonists of platelet aggregation, such as TXA2 and stimulate prostacyclin (PG12) synthesis. Magnesium reduces vulnerability to oxygen-derived free radicals.

Calcium
The human body needs calcium more than any other mineral. A man weighing 70 kg. contains one kg. of calcium. About 99 per cent of the quantity in the body is used for building strong bones and teeth and the remaining one per cent is used by the blood, muscles and nerves. Calcium performs many important functions. Without this mineral , the contractions of the heart would be faulty, the muscles would not contract properly to make the limbs move and blood would not clot. Calcium stimulates enzymes in the digestive process and coordinates the functions of all other minerals in the body. Deficiency may cause porous and fragile bones, tooth decay, heart palpitations, muscle cramps, insomnia and irritability. A large increase in the dietary supply of calcium is needed in tetany and when the bones are decalcified due to poor calcium absorption, as in rickets, oesteomalacia and the mal-absorption syndrome. Liberal quantity of calcium is also necessary when excessive calcium has been lost from the body as in hyperparathyroidism or chronic renal disease.

Magnesium
All human tissues contain small amounts of magnesium. The Adult human body contains about 25 gms. of this mineral. The greater part of this amount is present in bones in combination with phosphate and carbonate. Bone ashes contain less than one per cent magnesium. About one-fifty of the total magnesium in the body is present in the soft tissues, where it is mainly bound to protein. Next to potassium, magnesium is the predominant metallic action in living cells. The bones seem to provide a reserve supply of this mineral in case of shortage elsewhere in the body.

Biochemists call magnesium the " cool, alkaline, refreshing, sleep-promoting mineral". Magnesium helps one keep calm and cool during the sweltering summer months. It aids in keeping nerves relaxed and normally balanced. It is necessary for all muscular activity. This mineral is in activator for most of the enzyme system involving carbohydrate, fat and protein in energy-producing reactions. It is involved in the production of lecithin which prevents building up of cholesterol and consequent atheros-clerosis. Magnesium promotes a healthier cardiovascular system and aids in fighting depression. It helps prevent calcium deposits in kidneys and gallstones and also brings relief from indigestion.

Deficiency can lead to kidney damage and kidney stones, muscle cramps, arteriosclerosis, heart attack, epileptic seizures, nervous irritability, marked depression and confusion, impaired protein metabolism and premature wrinkles. Chronic alcoholics often show a low plasma magnesium concentration and a high urinary output. They may, therefore, require magnesium therapy especially in an acute attack of delirium tremens. Magnesium has also proved useful in bladder and urinary problems and in epileptic seizure. This mineral together with vitamin B6 or pyridoxine has also been found effective in the prevention and treatment of kidney stones. Magnesium can be taken in therapeutic doses upto 700 mg. a day.

Potassium
Potassium is essential to the life of every cell of a living being and is among the most generously and widely distributed of all the tissue minerals. It is found principally in the intracellular fluid where it plays an important role as a catalyst in energy metabolism and in the synthesis of glycogen and protein. The average adult human body contains 120 g. as potassium and 245 g. as potassium chloride. Out of this body potassium, 117 g. is found in the cells and 3 g. in the extra cellular compartment. Potassium is important as an alkalizing agent in keeping a proper acid-alkaline balance in the blood and tissues. It is essential for muscle contraction and therefore, important for proper heart function. It promotes the secretion of hormones and helps the kidneys in detoxification of blood. Potassium prevents female disorders by stimulating the endocrine hormone production. It is involved in the proper functioning of the nervous system and helps overcome fatigue. It also aids in clear thinking by sending oxygen to the brain and assists in reducing blood pressure. Potassium is also a mineral required for producing healthy sperm in males.

Potassium deficiency may occur during gastrointestinal disturbances with severe vomiting and diarrhoea, diabetic acidosis and potassium-losing nephritis. It causes undue nervous and body tiredness, palpitation of the heart, cloudiness of the mind, nervous shaking of the hands and feet, great sensitivity of the nerves to cold, and excessive perspiration of the feet and hands. In simple cases of potassium deficiency, drinking plenty of tender coconut water daily can make up for it. It is advisable to consume plenty of figs, apricots, prunes, almonds and tomatoes during the use of oral diuretics. Potassium-rich foods should be restricted during acute renal failure and Addison?s disease.
