Power Strips – Can they help with mineral deficiency?

Many people are raving about a brand new natural product called Power Strips by FG Xpress, a global division of a nine year, publically traded company, ForeverGreen International.

I have always told my clients that a deficiency in an important mineral can prevent you from experiencing optimal health. I recall on several occasions people who were deficient in calcium, magnesium or potassium (for example) who then addressed their diet and added a missing mineral began to feel improved energy and health within a short period of time. So when the Power Strips became available January 2013 I took a close look at the ingredients and knew it had a powerful combination ….and just “may” be the answer we have all been looking for.

Can a Power Strip every day keep the Doctor away?

I stumbled upon this article today and thought it tied in nicely with the ingredients- minerals in particular, in the Power Strips. It got me thinking about the testimonials people are sharing after experiencing wearing a Power Strip.

Doing your best to eat a well-rounded diet may not be enough if you have a mineral or protein deficiency. What you eat does matter, but the state of your digestive health can impact the nutrients you absorb each day.

The #1 Cause of Mineral and Protein

While you may eat a mineral-rich diet and plenty of protein, it turns out that you can still miss out on these vital nutrients.

This is one reason why the FG Xpress Power Strips may help YOU. Ingredients in the Power Strips:

• Proprietary blend of Korean Red Ginseng (fermented) Germanium and a base of minerals. (Calcium, magnesium, potassium, silver ion) and marine phytoplankton.

 

When stomach acid is weak, the body grows deficient in protein.

The old saying goes, “You are what you eat.” In reality, you are what you absorb.

Diet is important. But digestive health trumps what you eat.

In other words, in order to get the most out of food, it is essential that you have the ability to extract nutrients and use them.

As it turns out, low stomach acid is responsible for both protein deficiency and mineral deficiency.

What does this mean for you?

When it comes to early signs of protein deficiency, watch out for these 2 red flags:

1. Sugar cravings, unstable blood sugar, and constant snacking.
2. Chronically low levels of energy or extreme tiredness.

Note: the Reported Benefits of the Power Strips are:

• Restful sleep patterns
• Improved energy and mood
• Mental clarity, memory and sharper focus
• Reduced stress and tension
• Almost instant pain relief
• Immune system boost
• Increase muscular strength
• Reduced inflammation
• Less cravings for sugar or sweets
• 24/7 detox and rebuild

 

Mineral deficiency can be more difficult to spot. However, low stomach acid can lead to mineral deficiencies—in particular calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, iron, and zinc. (1) (Note, both Calcium and Magnesium are in the Power Strips!)

Signs can include muscle cramps, white flecks on fingernails, wounds that are slow to heal, low levels of energy, iron-deficiency anemia, and Candida overgrowth. Some long-term mineral deficiencies can even lead to osteoporosis—or the break-down of bone. (2)

The Cause and Effect of Low Stomach Acid

Low energy levels could be a sign of a protein or mineral deficiency. Low stomach acid could be to blame, caused by pharmaceutical medications, stress, or age.

The most common cause of low stomach acid—or gastric juices that are too alkaline—is pharmaceutical medication.

Medication that treats heartburn reduces stomach acid. Examples include H2 antagonists (Zantac) or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs, like Prilosec). Both suppress the secretion of stomach acid.

Stomach acid, HCl (hydrochloric acid), is naturally acidic for a reason. The acidic nature of stomach acid protects the body against outside bacteria, yeast, parasites, and other infectious microorganisms.

Stomach acid activates enzymes that break down protein into smaller fragments that the body can use. When stomach acid is weak, the body grows deficient in protein.

Stress—physical, emotional, or mental—can reduce stomach acid and shut down digestion in the stomach. Furthermore, as the body ages, the stomach naturally becomes less efficient. (3)

Low Stomach Acid and Candida Overgrowth

Stomach acid creates a harsh environment, making it hard for organisms to survive.

Antacid medication changes this. It reduces the acidity of the stomach.

Research shows that Candida overgrowth inside the esophagus is associated with PPI medication. (4) Another study published in May 2013 concludes that antacid medication is an important risk factor for Candida overgrowth. (5)

When it comes to Candida overgrowth in the upper gastrointestinal tract, restoring the acidic nature of the stomach is sometimes not enough. This is because Candida is aggressive.

As it turns out, Candida thrives in a high-pH environment. In other words, antacid medication creates just the right environment for Candida to grow. To make matters worse, researchers have also found that Candida can control the pH of its environment. (6)

When necessary, Candida produces and releases ammonia. Ammonia is alkaline in nature. The ability of Candida to produce ammonia ensures its survival.

This is why it is essential to:

1. Correct the pH of the stomach .

2. Follow the Body Ecology healing protocol to control Candida overgrowth.

DANGER! Low Stomach Acid Leads to Mineral Deficiency and Weak Bones

Unfortunately, low stomach acid—either from infection, stress, or prescription antacids—can have serious, long-term consequences.

An acidic environment in the stomach is necessary for the absorption of mineral micronutrients like:

• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Phosphorous
• Zinc
• Iron
• Selenium

A deficiency in each mineral is associated with its own set of problems.

A safe preventative measure- is to wear a Power Strip daily. Your body will absorb the minerals and nutrients through the skin with no adverse side effects that many pharmaceutical drugs give.

The Power Strips are an all-natural topical “strip” with a proprietary blend of Korean Red Ginseng (fermented) Germanium and a base of minerals. (Calcium, magnesium, potassium, silver ion) and marine phytoplankton.
