FSS Bio-Chelate SIL
(Silicone)
This
is silicone soluble and contains zinc, copper, manganese, iron, silicon and
potassium. Copper is a cofactor for oxidative enzymes, improves the absorption
and utilization of iron, and is involved in elastin formation and the cross
linking of keratin. It also aids in enzymatic activities. While zinc has
antioxidant properties, it is also involved in wound healing, protein
synthesis, and cellular growth, division and repair. Iron is involved in
protein formation, cell maturation and immune system functions. Silicon aides
in protein matrix construction, addsto
the structure of connective tissue and is also involved in bone development.
Potassium is involved in the sodium potassium ion gates that stimulate an
action potential along cellular membranes. Action potentials are essential for
carrying information within and between tissues in our bodies. Manganese may
help to increase firmness and elasticity of the skin.
Overview
of Bio-Chelates:
Both
vitamins and minerals are well known to be good for the body when ingested
because they play a key role in overall health and well-being. Vitamins are
well known for their co-enzymatic properties. By chelating naturally derived
vitamins, they become more easily penetrated and available to the skin allowing
them to work to benefit in overall appearance.
Unlike
vitamins, not a single mineral can be synthesized within the human body.
Without minerals, vitamins could not be assimilated and many enzymatic
reactions could never take place without a mineral
acting as a co-factor. They also are extremely beneficial to the skin when
applied topically for the same reasons, giving strength and vitality. Minerals
may be divided into two categories: major elements and micronutrients. The
major elements typically consist of calcium, phosphorous, silicon, magnesium,
sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur. The micronutrients consist of iron,
copper, iodine, manganese, zinc, fluorine, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, and
selenium.
When
going through the chelating process, the beneficial aspects of all vitamins and
minerals can be brought out with the damaging effects becoming limited. We have
a variety of vitamins and minerals as well as mineral mixes which are able to
harness their natural environmental functions and apply them directly to the
skin.
