Hello and welcome to Aegis Minerals! We are glad you’re here and we hope to share some valuable information with you today.
Let’s start with introducing what Aegis Minerals is about. Our main focus is minerals. Pretty simple, right? We have discovered it’s not all that simple and we have been learning something new nearly every day since this wonderful health promoting business found us. We’ve found that when speaking with people about minerals, they often correlate a mineral supplement with vitamins. Minerals do work with vitamins but they also host a wealth of other functions in our body. See above tabs for further information.
More about minerals
Minerals are the essential building blocks of life. They are the foundation of your body. Every living cell depends on minerals for proper function and structure. Minerals are needed for the formation and regulation of healthy nerves, muscles, bones, and blood. They also function as co-enzymes, enabling the body to stimulate energy production, growth, and healing. Minerals are also necessary for all enzyme activities which are essential for the proper utilization of vitamins and nutrients. Disease can begin with a mineral deficiency.
Most minerals are classified into two categories, either ‘bulk’ or ‘trace’. ‘Bulk’ minerals include calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and phosphorous, all of which are needed in larger quantities by our body. ‘Trace’ minerals are required in minute quantities, but are also necessary for good health. They consist of boron, chromium, copper, germanium, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, silicon, sulfur, vanadium, and zinc.
Minerals simply cannot be overlooked as major components of a healthy body. It is almost impossible to obtain the amounts of minerals needed for good health through a normal diet. Mineral supplements are necessary to insure that your body receives the required amount to function optimally.
Why Aegis Minerals are better
Minerals are naturally occuring elements found in the earth. Rock and stone which are made of mineral salts, are gradually broken down into tiny fragments by erosion, a process that takes millions of years. Aegis Minerals, Wellness & Longevity is able to reduce the size of these minerals even further into their ‘nano’ size. Our process creates a water- soluble liquid dietary mineral supplement that reaches its “maximum absorption potential” (MAP) and is 100% usable.
It can be challenging to supply our body with an adequate amount of minerals. Not only is the quantity important, but the form in which the minerals are taken is also important. Unfortunately, even the best of commercial mineral supplements are not readily usable by the body. Most commercial products contain minerals that exist as compounds (any mineral that has a second name connected to it is a compound). For example, calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, magnesium stearate, or magnesium oxide are compound forms. They are too large to be absorbed directly into our cells without being broken down by the body. In some test studies, only a small amount (as little as 5%) of these mineral compounds are actually absorbed into the body.
The key factor and most important one is ‘absorption’. Without absorption the mineral has no benefit to the body. Aegis Minerals provides a superior form of liquid water-soluble, nano-sized minerals that are 100% absorbable. It is important to know that what goes into your body is ready to be immediately used by your body.
Please take a look at the mineral tabs at the top of the page for information on individual minerals that we carry. We carry ground flaxseed and glucosamine/MSM mix in addition to the listed minerals, as we feel they are so beneficial to a feeling of well being and overall health. Some customers pick specific minerals depending on their specific needs while others prefer to take a blend of minerals. We also provide custom blended formulas, please email us if you need additional information and include a daytime telephone number. Thank you for your time and we wish you wellness and longevity!
