I firmly believe that an aloe vera and sea vegetable supplement is an excellent way to maintain good health, and keep at bay the ravages of modern living. Increasing levels of atmospheric pollution, and overuse of pesticides on food, combine to threaten our health at the cellular level where the free radicals that these pollutants produce in your body help to destroy body cells and DNA and cause premature aging, heart conditions and many other forms of disease.

We’re going to try and walk through the importance of the ionic form or the ionic state of a nutritional supplement.  The reason I say try is that this can get quite technical very quickly.  It is important that you understand the benefits to you and your body to have a nutritional supplement in ionic form.   I’ll put these in bullet form so that we can deal with the topic a bit easier (for me too!):

• The pill-formof nutritional supplements must have water or liquid added to convert them into a soluble that the body can digest.  It’s one of the reasons the vitamin supplement guys tell you to take your pill vitamin with an 8 ounce glass of water.  You need the liquid to break down the binder and filler materials into something that your body can digest. 
• The minerals in a liquid nutritional supplement are already in their liquid colloidal state in the digestive tract and provide all the advantages of the liquid form.  One of the advantages is you don’t need to add water and your body can begin the absorption process immediately. Your favorite liquid nutritional supplement probably recommends you to shake the bottle before pouring your serving.  The reason is to mix the nutritional elements evenly throughout the solution.  Colloidal simply means suspended in the liquid.  Shaking the bottle means the nutrients are equally distributed and suspending in the liquid.
• Metallic minerals obtained from a pill-form supplement carry a positive charge in their ionic form in solution and, in general, are just not very soluble. Scientifically, they are called hydrophobic because they are not very soluble in water.   Easy way to remember is they have a phobia against water - hydro (water) phobic!  Drinking a glass of water begins to dissolve the pill but because of the chemical processes taking place, the conversion to the right ionic form is difficult.  The result is that your body does not readily absorb the minerals from a pill-form supplement because they are not in the best form for your body to absorb them.

Nearly every fruit and vegetable has vitamins and minerals in it.  We’ve talked a lot about the benefits of Aloe Vera and sea vegetation simply because they stand apart from general supplements.  In an aloe and sea vegetable blend there are all eight of the essential sugars needed for healthy cell communication in the body.

Everyone has known pain at some time or another.  No, I’m not talking about a broken heart!  A bruised knee, a stubbed toe, and a ‘splitting headache’ are all forms of everyday pain that each (alright….many) of us has experienced.  We know that pain is your body’s way of telling you that you it has been damaged.

Have you ever noticed that when you bruise yourself or have a cut or scrape it always seems to get inflamed?  The inflammation is caused by an increase in blood to the affected area. But the increase is not always good for you. When an athlete is hurt or bruised, one of the first treatments is ice. The ice reduces the inflammation and allows the healing process to begin and complete more quickly.

If we can agree that a vitamin supplement is important and each of us should be taking a supplement, then what kind of supplement should we take?
