Antioxidants, MSM, & Trace Minerals

Auntie Trace is an indispensable supplement for oxygen enthusiasts that demand optimum cellular metabolism.

Of all the billions of cells in your body performing thousands of different functions, they all have one set of common functions to perform before they can do their more specific tasks. They breathe and eat.

That means there is a constant flow of oxygen and nutrients into the cell and carbon dioxide and waste products out of each and every cell – all the time. This makes cellular metabolism the front line in a healthy metabolism. By creating an environment that that facilitates this process the body can function efficiently.

Antioxidants

The Antioxidants in Auntie Trace perform two activities that are essential to protect our cells. They repair cells and remove free radicals and free radical forming toxins from the system.

Every cell is surrounded by a layer of fat called the lipid layer. Just like a healthy pudgy little baby verses a skinny bony baby. The healthy baby does not get bruised when it falls down because it is protected by a layer of fat. If a cell is undernourished, toxic with a back up of waste or infected the lipid layer becomes impaired.

As nutrients antioxidants act to bolster this lipid layer so that it can remain supple and sustain the rigors of being in your body. Your immune system is under strict marching orders to either repair the lipid layer with antioxidants or remove the cell by using the free radical removal process performed by your white blood cells called cell lysing.

In cell lysing a white blood cell or lymphocyte hunkers up next to a sick cell and releases an oxygen singlet that pierces the lipid layer and pops the cell. Your immune system then removes the remains of the cell.

Auntie Trace has an abundance of three of the most important antioxidants in the free radical fighting cycle, Pycnogenol, Vitamin C and MSM. We should all be familiar with the importance of Grape Seed Extract Pycnogenol and Vitamin C as antioxidants.

What most people are unaware of is the role of Cysteine and Glutathione peroxicase. Cysteine is a sulfur containing amino acid that inactivates free radicals and thus protects and preserves cells. These sulfur containing antioxidants can extend life span and protect against various toxic substances.

Cysteine is a precursor to glutathione, a tripeptide that can protect the body against various pollutants such as those found in cigarette smoke and alcohol. Glutathione is a major antioxidant but is unlikely to be helpful when taken in the form of a supplement.

MSM provides the body with the sulfur that it needs in a highly bioavailable form to make cysteine and glutathione. The bad free radical is an O positive ion. Created by stress, this oxygen molecule careens around tearing healthy cells open.

These three potent antioxidants work in an interdependent cycle to neutralize free radicals and free radicals forming toxins converting them into forms that can be metabolized and secreted by the liver.

MSM

The body uses MSM to regenerate healthy cells.

Vitamins and amino acids work with MSM during this process. Without proper levels of sulfur, our bodies are unable to build good healthy cells, and this leads to illness. Our cells are reproducing 24 hours a day. If your body doesn’t receive the proper nutrition and building materials it needs, it will produce bad, dysfunctional cells not healthy cells.

If we want our cellular tissue to regenerate instead of degenerate we need to supplement our diets with MSM.

When your body uses an MSM molecule to produce a new cell, that MSM is spent. We need to continuously replenish the body’s MSM bank to produce new, good healthy cells. A conventional diet does not supply the needed levels of MSM.

It is absent in synthetic food additives, food substitutes and most fillers used to dilute or modify foods. With today’s diet of cooked and processed foods, most diets of civilized cultures are deficient in this critically important ingredient.

MSM is neither a medicine nor a drug. It is a member of the sulfur family but should never be confused with sulfa drugs, to which some people are allergic. MSM has been used as a dietary supplement for several years, with no reports of intolerance in allergic reaction.

Acute, intermediate, and long-term studies indicate that MSM exhibits very low toxicity no matter how it is administered. Within limits, you cannot overdose with MSM because the body will take and use whatever it needs. Sulfur is highly important.

Auntie Trace is a food supplement that can help supply the needed amounts of MSM to your daily nutritional needs.

Trace Minerals

Minerals, as we know them, are locked into the earth’s crust.

Our main link with minerals is through a diet of plants which are able to extract minerals from the soil as they grow. Vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are all compounds of the chemical element known as carbon. Minerals are elements which are not carbon and which are not bound to carbon.

These minerals participate in a multitude of biochemical and physiologic processes necessary for the maintenance of health. These nutrients are typically grouped in two categories. Minerals are those that the body requires more than 100 milligrams of on a daily basis and trace elements are those that the body requires much less than 100 milligrams of.

Minerals include calcium, magnesium and sulfur and sodium. Trace elements that are required for health are iron, iodine, copper manganese, selenium, zinc and chromium. Vitamins are usually present in foods in similar amount throughout the world. Not so with minerals and trace elements whose levels can vary substantially from region to region.

One can eat a perfectly balanced diet and still develop mineral deficiencies. Our vulnerability to even minute mineral deficiencies can be appreciated by comparing the 1.5 grams of minerals we consume daily to the 500 grams of carbohydrates.
Our mineral intake consists of 0.3 percent of our diet yet without it the other 99.7 percent can not be utilized.

Auntie Trace has vital minerals for cellular synthesis and metabolism.
