Paradise Nutrients VeggieMin capsules (also comes in liquid form which can be added to<br />
drinks, cooking, etc.) contain approximately 74+ Plant Derived <strong>Minerals</strong> from A to Z. The<br />
minerals that come from a plant are by far the most bio-available source of minerals outside<br />
of a fresh food source.<br />
!<br />
They have been assimilated or digested by the plant by the process of photosynthesis. This<br />
turns them into carbon-based organic molecules known as water soluble, plant derived,<br />
hydrophilic minerals or Colloidal <strong>Minerals</strong>. According to food chemistry, plant derived<br />
minerals are 98 to 100% absorbable by the body. Generally they are 200 to 2,000 times<br />
smaller than metallic minerals. Some Colloidal <strong>Minerals</strong> are no larger than 0.000001 micron<br />
and are capable of being readily absorbed into the blood stream and the cells of the body.<br />
These microscopic minerals are in liquid suspension.<br />
Plant Derived Colloidal <strong>Minerals</strong> are water soluble and carry a natural negative electrical<br />
charge. These are two very important benefits.<br />
1. Greatly enhanced the transport, availability and absorbability of<br />
other nutrients from foods and/or vitamins and other supplements.<br />
2. The ability to attract toxins and heavy metals from the body and<br />
flush them out. A colloid is a particle substance that retains its<br />
identity and remains in suspension.<br />

<strong>Minerals</strong> and their functions<br />
What are minerals and where do they come from?<br />
<strong>Minerals</strong> are inorganic elements which means that no living thing, plant or animal is able to<br />
manufacture or create them. <strong>Minerals</strong> have to be obtained externally from the food of the plant,<br />
animal or human. For plants, the minerals have to come from the soil in which they are grown.<br />
As human beings and animals cannot readily absorb minerals directly from the soil, their minerals<br />
have to come from the plants and foods they eat. There a basically two types of minerals.<br />
Metallic <strong>Minerals</strong> and Colloidal <strong>Minerals</strong>.<br />
Metallic <strong>Minerals</strong><br />
Metallic <strong>Minerals</strong> are inorganic and come straight from the ground or soil needing to be processed<br />
by plants before they can become a good nutritional fit for humans and animals. These metallic<br />
minerals can be toxic to the human body. Dangerous levels of these metallic minerals can<br />
accumulate in tissues and organs creating serious health problems. However, some metallic<br />
minerals taken in by the body can be broken down by the acids in the stomach and a small amount<br />
will become available to the body. In most cases these should be avoided to prevent heavy metal<br />
build up. Many mineral supplements available on the supermarket shelf are metallic minerals that<br />
have been processed by chemicals or another process, but they are still inorganic minerals.<br />
Colloidal (Plant Derived <strong>Minerals</strong>)<br />
Plant derived minerals come from plants. Plants get their minerals from the soil and through a<br />
natural process these minerals are transformed into organic minerals and become much more<br />
available to the body. The role plants play to convert inorganic minerals to organic minerals should<br />
not be under estimated because it is while minerals are going through that important transformation<br />
that other essential nutrients are added. Plants can process and store as many 80 or more minerals if<br />
they are available in the soil.<br />
One of the most important things a plant does to a mineral is change its polarity (electrical charge).<br />
It is believed that this is how the body recognises the organic minerals and absorbs them as they<br />
pass through the colon. The colon wall produces the opposite polarity and this attracts the organic<br />
minerals to it. This polarity is also important in detoxifying the body of heavy metals.<br />
Inorganic minerals (metallic) and other elements that are not absorbed by the body can build up and<br />
be difficult to flush out. This is where plant derived minerals (organic) play an important role. Having<br />
the opposite polarity or charge, it has been shown that by ingesting slightly more organic minerals<br />
than the body needs (and therefore not absorbing the excess), the excess organic minerals will<br />
attract the metallic minerals and help drag them out of the body. It is also important to keep in mind<br />
that heavy metals and other pollutants can be absorbed every day through the water we drink, the air<br />
we breathe, and the many other products that we either use or come in contact with on a daily basis.<br />
This is why Paradise Nutrients is committed to both manufacturing and marketing non-toxic and ecofriendly<br />
products to give you an eco-friendly home environment and providing a superior mineral<br />
range for your detox assistance and general well being.
Sea <strong>Minerals</strong> are another form of organic and non-organic minerals, but largely in an organic<br />
state. This includes the hormonal form of Vitamin D, essential for bone building. An appropriate<br />
marriage between these two sources of minerals supplies the widest spectrum of minerals known.<br />
In early days our soils may have been rich and fertile but over the thousands of years a lot of the<br />
minerals in our soils have been eroded away and washed down the rivers into the sea including<br />
plant mater and heavy metals. Once these minerals and nutrients do find their way into the sea<br />
there is another process that takes place. Continuous churning and breaking down of nutrients<br />
and natural chemical reactions allow these important mineral nutrients provide the life in the sea<br />
with much needed energy. Sea plants, kelp forests and grasses all need these minerals for their<br />
survival and thus the food chain starts. In recent years it has been discovered that some sea<br />
mineral extracts contain a combination of both organic and inorganic minerals giving a widely<br />
generous range of minerals.<br />
<strong>Why</strong> can't we get the minerals from our foods?<br />
Australia was once a country with rich fertile valleys and forests; our soils were bursting with<br />
minerals and soil life that kept replenishing and feeding itself and the life it supported.<br />
But over thousands of years our soils have changed through weathering and acts of nature but<br />
even more so in the most recent 200 years. Since Europeans came to Australia many of our soils<br />
were farmed and grazed extensively using techniques and practices from the country from which<br />
they came. Not understanding these soils caused problems like erosion, soil compaction and<br />
fertility loss. Then there was the chemical age. While it seemed to be good in boosting production<br />
and growth, the use of these high nutrient fertilisers and pest controlling chemicals have mined<br />
our soils like no other time. Like all minerals once they are mined they are gone forever. Now,<br />
with a populated hungry world, farmers and food producers are looking to get more from their soils<br />
at the best economical price and the cheapest way is to use chemicals. Our soil once carried<br />
over 75 minerals and now only contains about 20 minerals.<br />
<strong>Why</strong> do we need minerals?<br />
<strong>Minerals</strong> play an important role in almost every function in the body. The human body must<br />
maintain a proper chemical balance. This balance depends on the levels of different minerals and<br />
the ratio of these minerals one to another. What we need to be conscious of is that, not only are<br />
other minerals affected when our mineral balance is a little tilted, but other essential nutrients as<br />
well. The fact is that without all of the essential minerals, the body cannot properly utilise<br />
important nutrients like vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids and hormone production and this can<br />
start a chain reaction of imbalance that can lead to illness. <strong>Minerals</strong> have an impact on many<br />
areas of our bodies. Some examples are: the formation of blood and bone, the proper functioning<br />
of body fluids, the maintenance of a healthy nervous system, the regulation of muscle tone, the<br />
regulation of the cardio system, energy production, healing and growth, enzyme production and<br />
they play a critical role in DNA synthesis. <strong>Minerals</strong> also help balance Ph levels and assist in<br />
maintaining a healthy immune system. Taking the right minerals will assist in detoxifying our<br />
bodies of excessive heavy metals or metallic minerals,the formation of blood and bone, proper<br />
composition of body fluids, the maintenance of a healthy nerve system, the regulation of muscle<br />
tone, the regulation of cardiovascular system, used for healing and growth, to utilise vitamins and<br />
other nutrients, for the production of enzymes, Is essential for hormone structure, critical in DNA<br />
synthesis, helps balance Ph levels, helps neutralize toxic metals, assists the immune system,<br />
assists with fatigue management, keeping a healthy reproductive system and sexual performance.

<strong>Why</strong> do we need to supplement?<br />
With many of our foods coming from depleted soils our daily diets may be lacking many of those<br />
important minerals we need on a daily basis. Because this we don't know what minerals we are<br />
missing out on in any one day. Supplementing our daily food intake with a broad spectrum of plant<br />
derived minerals guarantees our bodies of at least some of the minerals required on that day.<br />
Paradise Nutrients supplies a range of products that contains a broads spectrum of at least 74 plus<br />
plant derived minerals. These include-:<br />
Table minerals. A salt replacement to top up your meals.<br />
VeggiMin Capsules with 74Plus plant minerals<br />
Mineral Drinks as a refreshing drink<br />
Other products that contain plant derived minerals to help maintain the mineral content of your food<br />
and body.<br />
Can I take too many minerals ?<br />
With plant derived minerals a little more than is needed is ok; the body will utilise what it needs and<br />
the rest will pass out as waste. A little excess can be good because it can help detox the body of<br />
heavy metals attaching to these minerals of the opposite charge helping to drag them out of the<br />
body . However if the minerals are metallic and you consume too much this may cause an excess<br />
of heavy metals and can be hard to dislodge from the body. If you already suffer from an overload<br />
of any one mineral you should be careful of your diet as some foods may be high in certain<br />
minerals. For example, kelp is high in iron and iodine. This could be a problem if you have an<br />
overactive thyroid.<br />
If you are unsure about consuming supplements you should consult your health care professional.
