Cell health is the foundation of body health. All molecules that keep the body healthy are made inside the cells using the DNA which make hundreds of thousands of enzymes and proteins. Inside the cells are mitrochondria. These structures inside the cell use sugars and minerals like Iron to transform molecules from food into energy. But one of the four steps to generate energy (ATP) in the mitrochondria produces free radicals.

In excess, free radicals produce harmful oxidation that damage cell membranes, accelerate the aging process and are a major contributor to cancer and other illnesses. Stress, lack of sleep, a poor diet and pollution are all prolific contributors to the formation of free radicals. Free radicals do damage to the structure of the cell and over time prevent the cell from functioning.

My Minerals provides ionic Iron++ and Iron+++ to make sure cells can construct superoxide dismutase; the free radical neutralizer. Iron++ is released by oxygen in the cell to react with the superoxide to form hydrogen peroxide. Then Iron+++ is released to transform hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The cell has two ways to deal with hydrogen peroxide; one is a very large enzyme, catalase, the other is the second iron atom in the superoxide dismutase molecule. Both transform hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen but catalase only works on the hydrogen peroxide. Iron is essential to begin the neutralization of free radicals.

Years ago antioxidant compounds were found in food and provided these positive mineral ions because they were still in the soil. Since the soil in this country and around the world has been stripped of minerals that build antioxidant molecules in food…it’s easy to assume that the food you’re eating is empty of antioxidants.

To be healthy, it is essential to understand the creation of free radicals and then to take the necessary steps to eliminate them. My Minerals effectively penetrate cells to guard against oxidative damage and proper neural function.
