How It Works

Potassium

Potassium is a mineral that your body needs to work properly. Potassium helps generate energy and is essential for regulating blood pressure and maintaining healthy heart function and normal heartbeat. Potassium works alongside magnesium to support cardiovascular health. Potassium is also essential to the urinary system as it supports kidney function. Plus, potassium is needed for proper nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and pH balance (acidity and alkalinity). And, adequate potassium levels are vital for the body's active transport pump, which moves nutrients into cells. Unfortunately, illness and physical exertion can deplete the body of this important mineral.

Kelp

Kelp is naturally rich in trace minerals, including potassium, iodine and zinc. Iodine is an essential trace mineral that supports glandular function, metabolism and energy levels. Kelp is a type of brown seaweed and eating “sea vegetables” is not a new idea. Records show that people in ancient Greece and Rome ate kelp as a food source. And in China, they have been eating various types of kelp for more than 2,000 years!

Dulse

Dulse provides a natural source of iodine, which is key to thyroid gland health. It also supports the immune system. Dulse is a type of red seaweed that grows on rocks at the low tide line in the North Atlantic and Northwest Pacific oceans. Northern Europeans (on the other side of the Atlantic) were dining on dulse as far back as 600 A.D. Historically, it was used for its tonic effects.

Alfalfa

Alfalfa is rich in nutrients, including cleansing chlorophyll, antioxidants, vitamin C and minerals like calcium, potassium and iron. Alfalfa has been used traditionally as a general tonic to help maintain well-being. Alfalfa supports healthy, enriched blood and also promotes a healthy immune response. Other benefits of alfalfa include detoxifying the urinary tract, encouraging regular bowel movements, maintaining normal-range blood sugar levels, and supporting the pituitary gland—an essential part of brain health.

Horseradish

Horseradish root comes from the Balkan region and its use dates back more than 3,000 years. The Ancient Greeks and Romans applied it to muscle aches and cramps. They also consumed it for help with coughs. In the Middle Ages, people used both the leaves and roots for health. More recently, horseradish has been recommended in support of the urinary system and for respiratory health. Horseradish has a stimulating effect on the respiratory system. It naturally contains vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, zinc, antioxidants and other important nutrients.

Horsetail

Horsetail is traditionally used for skin, nails, hair and bone health. Recent evidence demonstrates extracts of horsetail support cellular health in bones, and its silica content is believed to contribute to the absorption and use of calcium. In addition, horsetail is a rich source of important minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium.
