PHOENIX, AZ (May, 2016) — A new patented plant mineral extract, Mineral Biosciences® Ioniplex, is available for use in dietary supplements, beverages, and foods to help conquer today’s biggest nutritional challenge: sugar overload. Sugar is the number-one ingredient consumers are trying to reduce in their diets, according to market research by The NPD Group, with 65 percent of people trying to eat less sugar or avoid it altogether.[1] Meanwhile, research recently published in JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association shows that 70 percent of Americans eat more than the recommended amount of sugar.[2]
HowIoniplex Defends Against Sugar Damage
Minerals are essential nutrients which are difficult to obtain in sufficient amounts from food because industrial farming methods have depleted soils. During the last century, mineral content of some common foods has dropped by more than 80 percent.[3] Ioniplex is a plant mineral extract which helps replenish a depleted diet and — because of its proprietary plant-based sources and patented extraction method — defends against harm from excess sugar.
Scientific research has shown that Ioniplex helps support healthy blood sugar levels[4] when taken as part of one’s diet. More specifically, it is patented for reducing a detrimental process called glycation (pronounced “gly-KAY-shun”).[5] Glycation occurs when excess sugar molecules combine with proteins and form harmful rogue molecules called Advanced Glycation End-products, or AGEs.[6] These damage every type of cell, in nerves, organs, tissues, arteries, joints, and the skin.
A study published in the International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research[7] tested Ioniplex on human cells and in diabetic mice. Researchers concluded: “To our best knowledge, this is the first description ever of a fossil material having anti-glycation activity in pre-clinical models.”
Where Ioniplex Comes From
Ioniplex comes from ancient mineral deposits in parts of the United States where lush vegetation once grew, millions of years ago. Mineral Biosciences finds and extracts these naturally-occurring minerals with a patented process that uses no chemicals.
“We’re taking minerals that Mother Nature gave to us; we’re not altering them,” says Luke Blotsky, CEO of Mineral BioSciences. Ioniplex contains at least 25 major, minor, and trace minerals. In addition, he says, “We’ve perfected an ionic extraction process.” As a result of this patented extraction method, these ionic minerals consist of microscopic molecules that are more easily absorbed and transported throughout the human body[8] than other types of minerals.
