SELENIUM MINERAL WATER
(Reprinted from "WATEROZ SELENIUM MINERAL WATER") - WHAT IS IT?
While we do not make medical claims, this information is to be used for educational purposes only. WaterOz is proud to announce a major break through, we have an absorbable, water soluble selenium (75 +/- ppm). If selenium is put in a water soluble form it absorbs and is utilized properly by the body.
We believe the criteria for proper utilization and absorbtion of all minerals is dependent on the size and absorbability of the mineral. Just because a mineral is in a colloidal suspension it does not insure that it will absorb. A colloidal particle is a mineral that is between molecules.
When testing a colloid you can shine a flashlight or laser light through the suspension and you will see the particles, this is known as the Tindal effect. WaterOz mineral solutions have the minerals bonding with the molecules and have no Tindal effect. We believe that when minerals are truly a solution and are water soluble, they are superior to colloidal products
The following article was taken out of "First" (a woman's magazine) dated 1-20-97:
"When scientists in Arizona gave one group of men and women 200 micrograms of selenium daily for seven years and another group "dummy" pills, they made an astonishing discovery: The group who took the selenium supplement was 42 percent less likely to develop cancer than the group who took the placebo. Selenium is a potent antioxidant, which binds with unstable molecules in our cells preventing them, researchers believe, from damaging cells and thus potentially causing cancer. It that isn't reason enough to up your intake of selenium look at what else the mineral can do:
Lift Your Mood: Though they're not quite sure why, researchers found that selenium can improve how well you think and feel. At the end of a 15 week study, participants who ate 165 mcg of selenium (three times the recommended daily allowance of 55 mcg) reported feeling more optimistic and clear headed.
Improve Immunity: A mild virus, injected into mice on a "selenium-poor" diet, inflicted serious damage to their hearts. When the same virus was injected into mice on a "selenium-rich" diet, researchers reported the animals didn't suffer any adverse effect. Scientists in Brussels found that taking 100 mcg of selenium each day improved immune system function by nearly 80 percent. They believe that the body uses the trace mineral to produce glutathione peroxidase. This powerful enzyme is used in the immune system to detoxify fats, thereby increasing immunity.
Increase Longevity: Residents of Norfolk England are said to be among the longest lived people in their country. Scientists believe it's because of high concentrations of selenium found in the soil and consequently in the produce they eat.
Suggested dosage - Adults: One (1) teaspoon daily. Children: 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon daily or as recommended by your health care professional.
