Sea Minerals and Marine Phytoplankton

Are you familiar with Oceans Alive Marine Phytoplankton?

This supplement is a blend of two powerful strains of phytoplankton. They are kept alive and stabilized in a sea mineral solution called Trace.

Many people ask why we use Trace, and some express concerns about the health effects of sea minerals. However, combining clean marine phytoplankton with Trace keeps the phytoplankton fresh and maximizes nutritional potency. Plus, Trace itself offers health benefits that enhance the impressive effects of phytoplankton.

What IS Trace?

Trace is a pure solution composed of over 70 minerals. These minerals are sourced from the ocean, which contains almost every element required by the human body.

The ocean water is gathered and dehydrated through solar evaporation. This process naturally removes a lot of sodium. Trace is rich in magnesium, providing 200 mg per ½ tsp, along with other minerals like iron, potassium, and selenium. Discover more about the benefits of magnesium here

Since these minerals are found in water, they are in their free ionic state, making them electrolytes. You may know electrolytes from sports drinks, which help replenish minerals lost during exercise.

Why is it Good for You?

Your body requires minerals to function properly, but many people don't get enough from their diet.

Essential minerals like magnesium, sodium, and iron are crucial for numerous bodily functions. A deficiency can lead to various health issues, including diseases.

What specifically do we need minerals for? The folks at EatBalanced.com elaborate: “The minerals in our diet are essential for a variety of bodily functions. They are important for building strong bones and teeth, blood, skin, hair, nerve function, muscle and for metabolic processes such as those that turn the food we eat into energy. This means that minerals are needed for the body to work properly, for growth and development, and overall, for maintaining normal health.”

The trace mineral solution that we use in Oceans Alive is not only loaded with almost all of the minerals and trace elements that your body needs, it's also highly bioavailable, meaning that your body absorbs those minerals easily.

The amounts of each mineral are not only safe for consumption, they can quickly help you get your essential mineral levels back to where they should be.

Why don't I get enough minerals from my diet?

The answer is simple: our food can't provide what the soil lacks.

Our soil is overworked, eroded, contaminated, and ineffectively fertilized, leading to severe mineral deficiencies. Some minerals are absent from certain soils and have been lost due to erosion and poor agricultural practices.

Sara Thompson from Seed To Pantry School shares her experience with soil deficiencies while raising animals on a farm. Her goat's babies didn't survive due to selenium deficiencies in the mother's diet. In her area, selenium was missing from the soil, and the only solution was a trace mineral supplement.

"Is there a long term solution to soil mineral deficiencies? No, sadly there is not. Some minerals have never existed in certain soil compositions. Some minerals have been lost due to erosion and poor agricultural planning.

There are mineral supplements that one can add to the soil. I can’t say that they are the perfect solution. Soil supplements can help with improving gardens and crops but often it’s just moving nutrient rich soil components to areas that lack those nutrients. Without good organic soil practices, such as erosion prevention, composting, and crop rotation, the deficiencies will sadly continue."

The ocean is teeming with minerals and trace elements that are vital to human health and well-being. If you can't get the minerals you need from foods grown in the earth, it makes sense to source them from the ocean.

But isn’t the ocean contaminated?

Oceans Alive ensures total purity by keeping toxins out of its products. The raw ingredients, including the sea mineral solution, are regularly tested for purity. While the ocean faces contamination from runoff, garbage, and pollutants, the minerals extracted for Oceans Alive are reduced to their pure elemental states before use.

Which minerals do I need? Which ones are found in Trace?

All minerals are important, in one way or another, for achieving and maintaining overall health. As the folks at organicfacts.com point out: "Different minerals have different benefits, so no mineral can be termed as more beneficial or less beneficial than another. All minerals, even trace ones, are critical for the proper functioning of the body. Most of the minerals aid in body metabolism, water balance, and bone health, but they can participate in hundreds of other small ways to effectively boost health as well."

Key minerals found in Trace include:

• Magnesium: Supports heart health, bone strength, brain development, metabolism, and sleep. It also helps balance hormones.
• Iron: Important for blood health, metabolic function, brain activity, and muscle growth.
• Phosphorus: Enhances brain function, improves dental health, strengthens bones, and supports metabolism.
• Manganese: Promotes reproductive health, healthy brain function, reduces inflammation, and regulates metabolism.
• Potassium: Balances blood sugar, prevents heart disease, eases muscle tension, boosts brain function, and distributes oxygen to organs.
• Selenium: A rare mineral antioxidant essential for bone development, cellular growth, and combating oxidative stress.
• Sodium: Necessary for muscle contraction, fluid balance, blood pressure, and nerve impulses.
• Zinc: Essential for enzymatic functions, wound healing, immune function, insulin storage, and growth.

Other important minerals include boron, chromium, chloride, iodine, calcium, copper, and silicon. With potent, bioavailable strains of marine phytoplankton and powerful sea minerals, Oceans Alive is the nutritional supplement you need.
