Iron attracts oxygen and builds blood. It is stored in the blood, bone marrow, liver, and spleen, with trace amounts in every organ. It is one of the most common deficiencies in humans, although women require more iron then men because of their menstrual cycle. Without iron, the body cannot manufacture enough new hemoglobin to transport oxygen and protein in the red blood cells. Iron helps the body rid itself of carbon dioxide and keeps liver tissue soft. It combines with other nutrients to produce vital blood proteins, helps maintain sufficiently high blood pressure, and is involved in food metabolism, digestion, elimination, and circulation. Vitamin C improves Iron absorption.

Body interruptions without Iron: Anemia, Fatigue and lack of stamina, Anorexia, Fragile bones, Brittle nails, Growth retardation, Constipation, Hair loss, Dizziness, Headaches, Depression, Ice eating (Pica), Dysphasia, Unnaturally pale skin

Iron interacts well with: Copper, Manganese and Vitamin C.

Perhaps the most important of iron’s functions in the body is the production of hemoglobin and myoglobin (the form of hemoglobin found in muscle tissue), and the oxygenation of red blood cells. Iron is the mineral found in the largest amounts in the blood. It is essential for many enzymes, including catalase, and is important for growth. Iron is also required for a healthy immune system and for energy production. Iron deficiency is most often caused by insufficient intake. However, it may result from intestinal bleeding, a diet high in phosphorus, poor digestion, long-term illness, ulcers, prolonged use of antacids, excessive coffee or tea consumption, and other causes. Menstruating women may become iron deficient, especially if they have heavy or prolonged periods and /or short menstrual cycles. In some cases, a deficiency of vitamin B6 or B12 can be the underlying cause of anemia. Strenuous exercise and heavy perspiration deplete iron from the body. Iron deficiency symptoms include anemia, brittle hair, difficulty swallowing, digestive disturbances, dizziness, fatigue, fragile bones, hair loss, inflammation of the tissues of the mouth, nails that are spoon-shaped or that have ridges running lengthwise, nervousness, obesity, pallor, and slowed mental reactions. Because iron is stored in the body, excessive iron intake can also cause problems. Too much iron in the tissues and organs leads to the production of free radicals and increases the need for vitamin E. High levels of iron have also been found in association with heart disease and cancer. The buildup of iron in the tissues has been associated with a rare disease known as hemochromatosis, a hereditary disorder of iron metabolism that is found mostly in men and that causes excessive absorption of iron from both foods and supplements, leading to bronze skin pigmentation, arthritis, cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes, and heart disorders.

"Ionized” implies two things, the size and charge of a particle. When a mineral is truly ionized it has a particle size measured in angstroms, (10,000 times smaller than a colloidal Mineral). Colloidal Minerals do not have a charge unique to the mineral because of the process, ionized minerals do have a unique charge that Treasures of the Earth is proud to provide. These factors are critical for optimum recognition and absorption to the body, these factors create a unique bond between body and mineral providing the body and skin to recognize, absorb and utilize these minerals at a cellular level without needing the digestive process. Our ionic minerals are pure mineral in pure water.

Here are three reasons for ionic minerals:

100% Bio-availability: Most nutritional products are absorbed at a rate of 5-20%, so 80-95% of your intake is excreted, (80-95 cents of your dollar just went down the toilet). Ionic minerals are 100% bio-available, meaning right out of the bottle these minerals are cell ready and require no digestion. These minerals begin absorption the second they contact the tissue of the body.

No Toxicity or Storing in the cells: Because of the absorption factor of ionic minerals there is no need for storage by the body, it uses what it needs and excretes the rest.

Good In / Bad Out: Your body is absolutely intelligent about its functions. It knows which substances/minerals are good and which ones are harmful. It also knows the difference between substances that are slightly helpful compared to those that are extremely helpful. The body can differentiate by degree and priority, if the extremely good nutrients aren’t coming in through diet and nutritional intake but a mediocre or poor one is, the body will substitute as best as it can. This can cause damage, toxicity, and weakness in cells and tissues. When you replace your intake with exceptional nutrients, the body can then release the substitutes and replace them with the better components. If the body is getting what it needs the healing will happen naturally.
