Mineral Essence Supplement Spotlight - June 2021


Mineral Essence

Supplement Spotlight


According to the two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling: "You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency".

Trace minerals are incredibly important for our overall health. The body requires nearly two thirds of all the elements currently know to man in order to support optimal health, cognitive function and overall performance. Keeping these minerals in balance is a complex, yet incredibly vital task. The events of everyday living demand a continual ingestion of minerals, ideally from the diet, but given current farming practices, it just isn't enough.

Traditionally eating fresh, sprouted grains, fruits and vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soil has been the primary supply for a full spectrum of ionic minerals. Unfortunately in today's world, naturally occurring, nutrient rich soil is becoming increasingly rare. Decades and decades of vegetation growth and aggressive modern farming techniques have brought many of the earth's minerals to the surface where they have been washed away. Synthesized fertilizers are routinely applied to farms and fields where minerals have been depleted, but man-made fertilizers provide only enough mineral substance to support basic plant life.

And just like so many other areas of our health, we can achieve our goals with supplementation. Mineral Essence is a balanced, full-spectrum ionic mineral complex enhanced with essential oils. It contains sixty ionic minerals including iron, zinc, silicon, fluoride, boron, lithium, sodium, sulfur, magnesium, chloride, selenium, Thallium, calcium, and potassium. Added in is Peppermint, Cinnamon bark, and Lemon essential oils. The addition of essential oils helps the body absorb all these ionic minerals, making them more bioavailable (and useful) to our bodies instead of just passing through.

The following deficiencies have been linked to many health issues - including those that affect our emotional health - and all of these deficiencies can be improved with Mineral Essence.
  • IRON - affects around 20% of women and 50% of pregnant women. Pair with Master Formula Master Formula for ideal results.
  • SELENIUM - a key component of thyroid health. Pair with Master Formula for ideal results.
  • MAGNESIUM - some sources say up to half the population is deficient in magnesium. One serving of Mineral Essence provides 80% of our daily requirements.
  • ZINC - this mineral is used by more enzymes than any other mineral our bodies need and is used for everything from gut health to DNA repair.

  • Cinnamon essential oil - antiviral, antibacterial and a strong antioxidant. It also contains high levels of phenols - oxygenating compounds which function as catalysts.
  • Lemon essential oil - promotes leukocyte production, which is an important factor in the immune system.
  • Peppermint essential oil - antibacterial and a first-rate support for the immune system, also supports digestion.

HOW TO USE

Take 5 half-droppers (1 mL each) morning and evening or as needed as a mineral supplement. May be added to 4-8 oz of distilled/purified water or juice before drinking. We recommend adding to cranberry juice if needed as the supplement has a spicy, mineral flavor. Shake well before using and refrigerate after opening.

You can also apply this to skin or use in an epsom salt bath to allow for absorption through the skin. Note, however, that this route of administration will provide less absorption than ingestion.

Note: This product contains royal jelly, which may cause allergic reactions, especially in those with bee or honey allergies.

ProgEssence Plus - Ditch and Switch Feb 2021


Ditch & Switch Synthetic hormones for

PROGESSENCE PLUS


As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families! 

Join us as we detox our homes and switch out conventional products for cleaner, greener and better options! For February, let’s make a really impactful change by switching out Synthetic Hormones for PROGESSENCE PLUS!!



PROGESSENCE PLUS is formulated specifically for women and is designed to promote well-being and feelings for relaxation, harmony, and balance. It features some of our most-loved essential oils, including Frankincense, Bergamot, and Peppermint to nourish and moisturize the skin and create a natural, pleasant aroma. But the best part (in our opinion!) is that this 100 percent plant-based serum features naturally derived progesterone from wild yams! 

PROGESSENCE PLUS contains USP-grade, super-micronized progesterone from wild yam blended with essential oils and vitamin E to help women find balance the way nature intended. The unique formulation maximizes the effects of this natural progesterone by utilizing an innovative delivery system that allows enhanced absorption through the skin. Wild yams are said to help normalize blood sugar levels, combat weight gain and hair loss, and help reduce the occurrence of hormonal headaches. Progessence Plus also helps promote restfulness and sleep.

Primary Benefits of PROGESSENCE PLUS

  • Naturally encourages the body’s optimal hormone balance
  • Takes away the dragon of the monthly cycle, PMS symptoms, mood, acne, and more. 
  • Is portable, better smelling, and absorbs more quickly than other progesterone supplements
  • Does not require cycling of the application site.

Suggested Use

  • Apply 2–4 drops 2 times daily on the neck, forearm or other soft-tissue area. For added effect, apply 1–2 drops along forearms 2 times daily. It does not need to be rotated on different areas of the body or cycled throughout the month. We love to add a roller fitment to ours and swipe over the front of the throat and on the forearms morning and evening!
  • Individual needs may vary. Dosage and duration vary from person to person based on age, current progesterone levels, and menstruation (premenopausal, postmenopausal). 
  • We recommend using PROGESSENCE PLUS consistently for at least two months for optimal results. If you are switching from conventional hormones to Progessence Plus, we suggest using it six months as your body will need time to recover from synthetic hormones and hormonal imbalance. As always, working with a functional medicine doctor or naturopath is a great way to get extra support! 

Who Can Take PROGESSENCE PLUS?

  • Menstruating females over the age of 12
  • Pre-and postmenopausal women
  • Women seeking natural hormone balance
  • Women looking for a calming sleep aid

For more:

Why should I not take Progessence Plus while on hormonal birth control?

  • It is not recommended to use conventional hormonal birth control and Progessence Plus together. This is because hormonal birth controls come with a multitude of possible side effects, because it would be impossible to distinguish any side effects (or positive results), and because scientifically the two are seeking to accomplish OPPOSITE results. 
  • PROGESSENCE PLUS is utilized to balance female hormones and restore a state of optimum health. Conventional hormonal birth control actually works to keep female hormones unbalanced to maintain a state of  infertility. Please work with your functional medicine doctor or naturopath to support your personal family planning needs!

Info on the warning on the bottle required by the state of California "We appreciate your concern regarding California's Proposition 65 warnings which are legally required to be on our Progessence Plus product. Proposition 65 requires that products sold in California which carry any ingredients deemed to the California legislature to be hazardous to health must carry the warning you see on our label. In the case of Progessence Plus, California requires the warning on all progesterone-containing products. However, California law does not distinguish between the synthetic medroxyprogesterone which is the cause of California's concern, and the natural progesterone which we derive from yams and which are widely used in the health industry. Both are generically referred to as "progesterone," which is the ingredient name in California's list. If you would like further information on this topic, we recommend you contact your healthcare professional for further information.

Join us this month as we make this simple swap that can have a huge impact on our overall health!
