Mineral Martix®
Our Mineral Matrix® pure dehydrated goat whey is an all-natural, highly concentrated whole-food source of more than 25 naturally occurring macro and trace minerals in a bio-organic form that our bodies recognize and utilize with ease.
Including dehydrated goat milk whey regularly as part of a balanced diet has been shown to be of great benefit in the following health related issues:
• The alleviation and prevention of osteoporosis
• The prevention and treatment of joint pain and joint disorders, including rheumatism and arthritis
• The prevention and treatment of stomach acidity and ulcers, as well as sensitive digestion
• The alleviation of constipation
• As an excellent source of the minerals and trace elements vital to a child’s nutrition
• As a supplement (in diluted form) to the diet of infants, one that is especially helpful in the prevention or treatment of colic;
• For expectant and new mothers as a means of supplying the much needed minerals and trace elements that are depleted through pregnancy and breast feeding
• The prevention and treatment of yeast infections (Candida)
• As a means of strengthening a deficient immune system
• As an aid in overcoming lethargy and fatigue
• As an aid in treating hypertension
Health experts worldwide agree that mineral combinations found in whole, unprocessed foods possess what the body needs most for maintenance and wellbeing. Intensive agricultural practices and depleted soils have devitalized many of our foods, stripping them of some of their most essential nutrients. These days, that’s one reason why the diet of most North Americans is sorely deficient in minerals and trace minerals. This deficiency is further aggravated by stress, lack of exercise, environmental toxins, and poor dietary choices. Because we lack the required minerals, the pH balance in our bodies is disturbed and we experience a build-up of excess acid. In consequence the body’s overabundant acids are stored in connective tissues and require the buffering (i.e. binding and releasing) action of alkalinizing agents like calcium, magnesium, and potassium salts—the very minerals we’ve been lacking—for their safe excretion. In this way the oversupply of metabolic acids becomes a self-compounding problem and can have serious repercussions on our health. To compensate for the rising level of acids, for example, the body will begin to leach away alkaline minerals from the bones, creating conditions that can lead to osteoporosis. Also, other physical ailments, running the gamut from chronic inflammation and arthritis to allergies and digestive problems, are the direct result of the body’s inadequate stores of the base minerals it needs to function in proper pH balance.
Milk has always been nature’s good food. Goat’s milk, in particular, is one of the best forms of milk for human consumption, as it contains unique concentrations and forms of specific nutrients. In its composition, goat’s milk most closely resembles human milk and it contains many rare base minerals that make it especially suitable for the diets of young children and women. The Journal of Reproductive Medicine reports that, as compared to cow’s milk, goat’s milk contains 28% more selenium, 13% more calcium, 134% more potassium, and 350% more niacin. It is also higher in sodium, copper, manganese, and a number of other minerals and elements important to nutrition. The unique properties of mineral-rich goat milk make it easy for the body to digest.
It is known in turn that 90% of the minerals in milk are contained in whey, which is a natural by-product of the cheese making process. In Europe and the Middle East, goat whey is prized as a special drink to promote health, youthfulness and long life. This is because it is more easily digested and assimilated than most other foods and because its broad array of minerals and trace elements makes up for many dietary deficiencies.
Rich golden brown in colour, Mineral Matrix® is a pure alkaline-based food, free of chemical additives, made by dehydrating goat milk whey from which residual fat and protein have been removed. All the minerals of the original whey remain in the dehydrated whey, readily available for absorption and assimilation by the body, soothing the stomach and promoting good intestinal flora.
Thus, made as it is from whey, Mineral Matrix® includes a full 90% of the minerals found in goat’s milk, which makes it a marvelously nutritious natural food. This completely natural product contains calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, and other bio-organic minerals and trace elements synergistically balanced in the proportions that nature intended.
Many minerals work best in combination with other minerals rather than as isolated constituents. The following effective, highly bioavailable mineral combinations can all be found in Mineral Matrix®:
- calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and iron
- copper, iron, and zinc
- zinc, calcium, copper, and phosphorus
- sodium and potassium
Because its minerals come in a form that the body can easily assimilate, Mineral Matrix® goes a long way towards helping correct diet-caused mineral deficiencies and pH imbalances that contribute to disease and ill health.
Mineral Matrix® offers many health advantages. For one thing, it helps to offset and prevent osteoporosis, as mentioned above. This is a condition that one out of every two women suffers from in the years following menopause.
There are many base minerals in Mineral Matrix®, where they occur in much higher proportion than in cow’s milk. As well, they are more easily absorbed because they have been predigested. In particular, the significant levels of bio-organic sodium and potassium in Mineral Matrix® buffer the body’s excess acidity and promote proper pH balance. As well, trace levels of naturally occurring hormones make the calcium in Mineral Matrix® more readily bio-available.
Heart irregularity, hypertension, fatigue, immune deficiency, constipation, chronic indigestion, intestinal irritation, stomach ulcers, and joint troubles like arthritis may signal bio-organic potassium deficiency, which stems from excessive acidity. Few people get enough potassium from food sources in their regular diet. The bioorganic minerals available in dehydrated goat milk whey—particularly potassium—aid in correcting many of these problems.+
The most plentiful mineral ingredients in Mineral Matrix® are electrolytes. These are electrically charged ions, both positive and negative, which maintain the membrane potential of cells and are essential to nerve impulse conduction and muscle function, physical energy, heart activity, and pH balance.
Every cell in the body has over 3,000 active enzymes. There is an entire “family” of enzymes that are called metalloenzymes precisely because one or more minerals play a vital role in their function. Mineral Matrix® feeds these crucial enzymes from its abundant storehouse of macro and micro minerals – minerals, in other words, that the body needs in both small and large amounts.
The true basis for wellness and healthfulness is to live well and eat well, and balanced nutrition is critical. Dehydrated goat milk whey is an excellent aid to good nutrition.
Mineral Matrix® is a superb all-around revitalizer – ideal for restoring crucial minerals lost by the body through mental and physical stress.
