The minerals in the sunshine salt are deliquescent……ie they absorb water from the atmosphere.
This does not change their chemical composition – they are still active! contains:- Maldon Sea salt 4 grams - largely comprised of sodium chloride Calcium 60 mg - lower than the RDA (recommended daily amount) but the sunshine vitamin D enhances calcium absorption and its deposition in bone Magnesium 60 mg - lower than the RDA but the sunshine vitamin D enhances magnesium absorption and its deposition in bone Potassium 40 mg - lower than the RDA so eat plenty of vegetables. Potassium cannot be stored in the body so you need to consume vegetables daily Zinc chloride 30 mg - we should all be taking 30mgs of zinc daily. This is a common deficiency in Westerners Iron 15 mg - in the form of ferric ammonium chloride. Haemoglobin which allows red blood cells to carry oxygen. Lack of iron causes anaemia Boron 2 mg - essential for normal calcium and magnesium metabolism. Protective against arthritis Iodine 1 mg - deficiency of iodine extremely common (estimated at over 90% of Westerners) since iodised salt went out of fashion Manganese 1 mg - essential for manganese SODase - the most important anti-oxidant within mitochondria Copper 1 mg - Eesential for zinc/copper SODase - a vital anti-oxidant within and without all cells. Copper makes for tough connective tissue Molybdenum 200 mcgm - essential for the detox enzyme sulphite oxidase Selenium 200 mcgm - highly protective against cancer and heart disease. Essential for glutathione peroxidase - a vital antioxidant Chromium 200 mcgm - insulin cannot function without chromium Vitamin D3 5,000 iu - no toxicity has ever been seen in doses up to 10,000 iu daily. Vitamin D3 greatly enhances the absorption of calcium and magnesium and ensures its deposition in bone. It is protective against heart disease, cancer and dementia. Vitamin D is heat stable and survives cooking remarkably well Vitamin B12 5,000 mcgm (as methylcobalamin) - B12 has no toxicity. It is poorly absorbed so high doses essential. Again is heat stable and survives normal cooking temperatures Maldon Sea Salt is the only salt used in the formulation of this product. This brand of salt is synonymous with quality and purity.
