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.
