Phytomineral was designed and evaluated by the UK’s leading nutritional scientist and physician, oncologist Professor Robert Thomas, to provide the precise daily requirements of the most important essential minerals, uniquely supported by whole ginger – rich in bioenhancing natural phytochemicals. 

Developed by a scientific team from Cambridge University Hospitals, this tablet can be taken in the morning or you may choose to take it at dinner time to aid sleep. (If taken in the morning it does not make you sleepy in the day: it will relax your nervous system which is beneficial), If taken at dinner time, it does not just focus on sedation, like other herbal supplements, it prepares the body for a restful night by targeting 6 fundamental biological mechanisms which commonly interfere with sleep:

• Reducing stress levels – relaxing you before bedtime
• Elevating mood – reducing negative thoughts at night
• Boosting circadian rhythm – so your body knows when to sleep
• Supporting  joint health – improving comfort at night
• Improving gut inflammation – reducing  uncomfortable bloating
• Reduces day time fatigue – avoids need for day time naps

Suboptimal levels of minerals are becoming alarmingly commonplace. As countries get richer, the diversity of the typical diet actually shrinks. Today, most of the world’s food supply comes from only 12 plants and five animal species. What’s more, in the race to get large quantities of affordable food, modern intensive farming, over cleaning and processing are depleting minerals from many foods on the shelves. The latest study reported that up to 75% of society has suboptimal levels one of more essential trace minerals especially iodine.

What are trace minerals and what foods contain them: Minerals are usually derived from healthy metals and salts in food and drinks. Although it may be difficult to maintain normal mineral levels, with a typical western diet, several dietary tips can certainly improve the diversity of mineral intake such as increasing intake of seafood, pumpkin, seaweed and nut intake 

What minerals does the body need and how many minerals does the body need:  The more important, rarer trace minerals are found in PhytoMineral at the precise quantities to supply exactly 100% of the recommended daily allowance of minerals per day (no more no less).

What do minerals do for the body and why are minerals important. Minerals are essential for the efficient function of the body from the formation of protein, bone and cartilage, the production of hormones and immune factors.  Minerals are an essential building block for  anti-oxidants enzymes which protect our DNA from dementia, heart disease, arthritis, cancer and premature skin ageing   Normal levels of essential minerals are vital for multiple metabolic pathways and good quality supplements, such as PhytoMineral, have been shown to have multiple health benefits by contributing to normal:

• thyroid and other hormone formulation
• carbohydrate and energy-yielding metabolism
• cognitive and brain function
• testosterone, libido, fertility, sperm formation and reproduction
• metabolism of vitamins and iron transportation
• fatty acids and protein synthesis and muscle function
• maintenance of normal bones, teeth, hair, nails and skin
• maintenance of the nervous system and vision
• function of the immune system

Advantages of mineral supplements. A well-made mineral supplement is a convenient way to ensure adequate intake evenly across the day.

Why does it contain ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) is a perfect complement to a mineral supplement. Firstly, it is naturally rich in minerals including calcium, zinc and copper. Second, it has anti-sickness properties and improves motility of the gastrointestinal tract which  counterbalances any potential indigestion or slight nausea which can occur with some minerals. Third, it contains “gingerols” and other healthy phytochemicals which protects the body from toxins and oxidative stress by supporting the body’s antioxidant enzymes further enhancing the benefits of copper, zinc and selenium which are also required for the anti-oxidant enzymes. Forth, it helps improving gut mucous membranes integrity, reducing gut and systemic inflammation, improving a sense of wellbeing, reduces leakage of nutrients out of the body yet facilitates absorption and bioavailability of micronutrients and minerals, but unlike peperine does not increase absorption or reduce metabolism of other drugs.

Quality assurance and safety:  PhytoMineral is manufactured by a team with extensive knowledge of the correct choice and concentrations of minerals with safety for short and long term use. Each batch is tested for impurities and unexpected allergens. The Oxford factory has the highest level Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification including Food Safety System certification (FSSC). Ginger is very safe and has tissue protective properties. As It provides the exact RDA of each mineral avoiding over intake of any variety, ensuring its safety and effectiveness for long term intake.
