Good morning everyone. So I am so excited to be here today and I want to share why Mur Vitality, I have it here. Um, why these colloidal minerals should be a daily non-negotiable for life.
So, three of my goals in health are prevention, addressing the root cause of symptoms, longevity, and living my life's potential. So, when I'm asked if there is one supplement I will take for the rest of my life without any hesitation, it's Mur Vitality. I've actually been taking this product, uh, for over 20 years and many other people have as well. And it, it is just, you know, I was that person that I believed that diet was enough, that eating a high plant-based, organic, seasonal diet, why would I need to supplement? So, just out of interest, when was the last time you heard of someone passing at a ripe old age in their sleep, disease-free? It's a very rare thing, hey? So, just hold on to that thought.
Now, our bodies need 19 nutrients every single day to function optimally. They, they're the foundation of good health. So, every day we need 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, and three essential fatty acids.
Now, uh, next slide. Thank you, Sarah. So, 20 years ago, I learned that even eating a whole food, plant-rich, organic diet, we still fall short of basic nutrition. So many Australian studies explain how our soils are amongst the oldest in the world and they've undergone extensive weathering and nutrient leeching. Over millions of years, many minerals have gradually been lost from the soil. And then add to that, much of our produce today is harvested well before ripening. It's kept in cold storage. It's sprayed with ethylene gas. It's waxed. It's put onto the shelf. It looks like maybe fruits and vegetables from 50 years ago, but it's nutritionally deficient.
Thank you, Sarah. So, nutrient-rich how soil should be and how soil is so overworked, over-farmed, and fertilized with NPK, which is nitro, nitrogen, potassium, and, uh, phosphorus. And farmers, they add these minerals to fertilizers to replace the nutrients that have been removed from the soil by the crops and by grazing animals, erosion, and farming practices. But modern agriculture sadly focuses mainly on maximizing crop yields rather than restoring the full spectrum of minerals that were naturally present in healthy soils. As a result, the crops can grow well. They look healthy, but they contain significantly fewer minerals than what they did in the past.
Thank you, Sarah. So, food isn't what it used to be. Did you know that official figures show that a staggering 96% of all Australians don't eat enough vegetables every day? In fact, the average Aussie eats less than half their recommended daily intake. So, if we don't eat enough vegetables, and those that we do eat are depleted in nutrients, join the dots. It's no wonder that we're chronically sicker than ever in history. So, today you need to eat six carrots to get the same nutrition as one carrot 70 years ago, 10 tomatoes, and two and a half corn. We can't eat that much food. And ironically, we're overfed but undernourished. Even obese and starving, which is such, such an oxymoron. We're always hungry because our bodies are craving nutrients, not Tim Tams.
Thank you, Sarah. So, we are an ocean starved of nutrients. We shop in fluorescent-lit supermarkets, filling our trolley with nutrient-deficient junk foods, microwave foods, foods that are GMO and covered in pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides. Our bodies are screaming out for real, whole, seasonal, organic produce, full of minerals and vitamins that we can't get in our food. And we interpret cravings as chips, chocolate, seafood, sorry, soft drinks, coffee, alcohol.
Thank you, Sarah. So, the nutrient gap that nobody is talking about. In 1950, most people ate real food grown closer to home on soils that had never been subjected to decades of intensive farming. I remember even growing up, if we were hungry, we had to go home to eat. There were no fast food joints on street corners. And you know, fast forward today, the research continues to show that many Australians are not meeting recommended intake for the nutrients. People are undernourished. They're low in energy. They're craving sugar. They've got poor sleep, brain fog, reduced resilience to stress, and we have a growing dependence on stimulants and energy drinks just to be able to get through the day. One of the most overlooked foundations of health is ensuring the body has access to the vitamins, minerals, and trace elements it needs to function optimally. As a community, we've never focused on calories. We focus on food that is nutrient-dense. We flood the body with nutrition and we top up what we can't get in our diet.
Thank you, Sarah. So, many of you have heard of Linus Pauling. He's a two-time Nobel Laureate Prize winner and is frequently quoted as stating, "You can trace every illness, every disease, and every element to a mineral deficiency." This highlights the belief that mineral deficiencies are the root cause of most health problems, and optimal health requires adequate mineral intake. So, it's pretty relevant information given the unprecedented explosion of sickness that we've seen over the past 40 to 50 years, especially in the, in the western world.
So, did you know that not all mineral supplements are created equal? There are actually three types. So, you've got type one, which is elemental, often what you see advertised on the back of a bus, and they're in their basic form. They often require significant digestion to break down before the body can absorb them. Then you've got type two, which is called chelated. Essential macro minerals like Optimal M. So, these minerals are bound to an amino acid, and they can, they've got improved absorption, which make them a lot gentler on the digestive system. Number three is colloidal minerals, which is Mur Vitality, and they're naturally occurring micro minerals suspended as tiny particles, often sourced from ancient plant deposits, and they've got a broad range spectrum of trace minerals. So, while bioavailability varies depending on the mineral, the individual, and the product, chelated minerals are generally considered highly absorbable, and colloidal minerals are valued for the wide range of trace minerals and ease of uptake. So, the key is not just how much of a mineral is present, but how much your body can actually absorb, utilize, and retain that mineral.
Thank you, Sarah. So, it's been proven scientifically that the major cause of most debilitating diseases, birth defects, are caused by mineral deficiencies. And many scientists believe minerals are a massive missing link in today's preventative health and healing. Which is why Mur Vitality is one of our most important supplements. It's highly bioavailable and it makes everything else that you take work better. So, although the body can manufacture a few vitamins if you have a healthy gut, it cannot manufacture minerals or trace minerals. If they're not in the soil, they're not in our food. And if you want your body to perform at its best, it's so important to address the root cause of any mineral deficiencies and supplement your food intake with Mur Vitality.
Um, our body is a very sophisticated machine. So, I have two philosophies regardless of any symptoms. One is to remove what's causing the problem, and two is to give the body the environment and the nutrients to rebalance itself. There is literally no digestive or metabolic process in the body that can take place without minerals. They're responsible for tens of thousands of biochemical functions. They are the catalyst that make enzyme function possible. All mental and physical processes rely on minerals, hormone secretion of the endocrine glands, utilization of vitamins. They help neutralize toxic, um, conditions within the body. They help regenerate cells. They help with immunity, balancing hormones, brain chemistry, energy, and alertness. They balance the pH of the body. And we all know that we're living in a very acidic state. Um, and they help with growth and healing.
Now, here's the thing. All the mineral elements work together as a collective. If there is a shortage of any one mineral, the balance of the entire body can be thrown. So, it's a bit like the body robs Peter to pay Paul. You know, if we're low in magnesium, the body might actually draw magnesium from bones and teeth. Um, so many people today are deficient in so many minerals. Now, here's an example. Say you were deficient in magnesium. You might have symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, low mood, poor sleep, muscle aches and pains, eye twitching, restless legs, fatigue, brain fog, headaches, or migraines. So, that is one mineral. Imagine if you were deficient in 30.
So, what is Mur Vitality? Thank you, Sarah. What is Mur Vitality and where does it come from? So, Mur Vitality is a rich, organic, highly bioavailable, uh, liquid colloidal mineral drink. It comes from the Narating Mur in Austria. I was actually about 50 kilometers away from the Mur last year, uh, in Austria, near Salzburg, and my plan was to actually go and visit. I wanted to visit the Mur for about 20 years, but as it happened, it didn't turn out. But anyway, for another day. So, the Mayas covers 150 acres. It's located below groundwater level. It's encased by non-porous glacial rock. It's black. If you see some mineral supplements in the health food shop, they're often clear. So, there's a clue. It's fed by mineral-rich spring water from the mountains. And scientists believe the secret of the remarkable properties of the Mur lie in the unique geology of the area. It's got over 600 varieties of herbs in the Mur, and that's the flower, the stalk, the leaves that are all included in the deposits. No laboratory can ever replicate this. It's also rich in amino acids and natural antibiotics. And recorded use of the Mur actually goes back to 800 BC. So, there's still only a few sources of ancient mineral-rich deposits left in their pristine state in the world. And amongst other things that are actually in, um, Mur Vitality, it's got things like barium, bismuth, boron, uh, chromium, copper, germanium, gold, iron. And we often hear of people that are actually supplementing things like calcium and magnesium and iron, but not all of these micro minerals. And this is what the body needs as well.
So, it also contains naturally occurring fulvic acid, which is, you know, it's a two-in-one product. I know people that that just buy minerals and they buy fulvic acid. So, fulvic acid is naturally occurring within this mineral drink and it's formed during the breakdown of the plant matter and the organic material, literally over thousands of years. It acts as a carrier. So, it helps transport the trace minerals throughout the, the body. So, a simple analogy would be, if you think of minerals as passengers and fulvic acid as the bus, the minerals may be present, but without the fulvic acid, it's not available for transport throughout the body.
So, thank you, Sarah. So, modern diets leave you needing more. We used to say, "You are what you eat," but that doesn't serve us anymore today. You are what you absorb. You are what your gut can process, and you are what your food was grown in. Why am I so passionate about Mur Vitality? Because my whole family have died prematurely of preventable diseases, not knowing this. And I, I often, uh, get asked, "What would you advise for advice for ABC?" I always start with minerals. I believe that every man, woman, and child, from birth to death, needs minerals. Um, so, natural mineral drink, it, it builds immunity, it helps with tiredness, trace migraines, helps detoxify. If, um, occasionally, if you take it, I would start slowly. Um, and occasionally, if you take it, some people might have diarrhea. So, I definitely would add some probiotics in there. Um, if you give it to young children, say with ADHD or, um, uh, asthma, eczema, give it time. It can take 3 to 6 months to really see the benefits of it. So, the recommended doses are normally enough, but you do need to take into account body weight. So, if you're over about 70 kg, then I would slightly increase the amount.
Um, all right. So, I am a big believer in only supplementing what you can't get in your diet. And that's why this is my number one daily non-negotiable because I know that I can't get this in my diet. Um, as a health coach, I always start supplementing the foundation nutrients, which is why I always recommend Mur Vitality first. And then we've got so many great foundation supplements in our range. We've got Optimal V, Optimal M, Omega Q, Probiotics, Finani, Giving Greens, Magnical D. So, I suggest a regime of foundational supplements, depending on someone's budget, for at least 3 months. In most cases, a lot of their symptoms have resolved. If not, then I look at actually some targeted products.
So, who may benefit from mineral supplementation? Uh, babies. Did you know that, um, formula only contains about 11 to 15 minerals of the 16 needed? There's more actually in dog food. Um, children and teenagers, especially during growing periods of, you know, rapid growth and development, growing pains. Pregnant women, absolutely, to support the mother and baby and the increased nutritional needs. Also, a lot of pregnant women are often iron deficient, and there's been so much research on the high bioavailability of the iron in Mur Vitality. Um, athletes and active people who lose minerals through sweat, um, and physical and emotional stress. Stress depletes, um, minerals in our bodies. Hikers, runners, endurance athletes. So, what, what I do whenever I'm out on a really big hike, I actually put, um, Mur Vitality into a big bottle of spring water. I take Rejuvenex. Um, definitely no brightly colored electrolyte drinks. Really encourage your kids to do this. Um, and, you know, if you're not sure of what's in all of those advertised electrolyte drinks, do your own research. Busy professionals, uh, dealing with stress and demanding lifestyles. Shift workers whose sleep and recovery may be impacted. Older adults whose absorb nutrients less efficiently. Uh, people recovering from illness. People living in hot climates who sweat heavily. Uh, travelers because often, you know, um, traveling can actually affect the mineral balance of our bodies. People who are experiencing a lot of stress and fatigue. Muscle cramps. Restless legs. Those looking to support immune health, people wanting brain function, mental clarity, uh, healthy aging, longevity, and definitely those eating a highly processed diet.
So, the bottom line, from the womb to old age, every stage depends on minerals. It is a huge target market. Um, and, you know, minerals are often called the spark of life. They are the foundation of cellular health.
Thank you, Sarah. So, every morning I drink about 10 mil. I drink 10 mls of Mur Vitality on its own or in juice. I take it neat. Um, I keep it in my mouth for a few seconds to support even faster absorption. If you don't like it, you can add it to a little bit of juice or water. Um, before opening, store it, uh, in a cool, dark place. After opening, always keep it refrigerated. Consume it within 30 days. If it expires, do not throw it away. You feed it to your plants or your pets. You didn't hear me saying that. If you ever underestimated the power of minerals, watch as your plants survive. And whilst I don't recommend that you give it to your pets, over the years I've had so many amazing testimonies when minerals, Mur Vitality, has been given to sick dogs, horses, sheep, even pet rats. Um, I used to give a cap to my dogs' drinking water. My kids were 10 and 11 when we started Mur Vitality. I never had any trouble giving it to them. In fact, they would often forget their minerals in the morning when they were running to get the bus for school, and they would come back. And when I asked them why they did that, they said because they feel so much better during the day at school. They had more energy and better concentration. And teenagers don't do that. They've taken this right up through their teenage years. For me, the skeptic, the proof of supplementing with minerals was so evident. I used to have skin tags. They were gone in two months. I had so much more energy. I had, um, a 12-day cycle whenever I first started using Mur Vitality, over a period of 3 months. It went from 12 to 18 to 24 to 28. I had no symptoms of perimenopause or menopause. Um, my hair got thicker, grew faster. Um, I personally don't have a GP. I never have. Not in 40 years of living here. It's not stubborn. I just haven't felt that I needed one. I just have my own little medicine chest. Often people say it's yuck. Um, and, you know, it's brown, and so I politely say, "Well, so is coffee, Coke, and bourbon." Uh, always keep this. Always have a bottle in your house. When my kids had temperatures, um, when kids are sweating, they, they lose electrolytes, and minerals replace electrolytes. They give the body what it needs to balance itself. So, I would give them 10 mls, and I would check the temperature in an hour, and I would give them another 10 mls, and never had to use Panadol. Um, it, my, we never had junk food in the house, but if the kids went to a birthday party, I let them go for it, and they learned very, very quickly how sick they felt. Sometimes they'd come home bouncing off the walls, and I would give them minerals, which helped, uh, break down the, the sugar, balance the blood sugar, and support the nervous system. It, it just was amazing. Um, also, if you don't sleep very well, take it before you go to bed. Uh, obviously, have it twice a day. You can't even have it three times a day. Um, non-as well is amazing, obviously, if you can't sleep well. Um, so, it is a food. It, uh, there's nothing added but denatured water. And, um, if you're traveling and moving around daily and you don't have a fridge, at the very least, take Optimal M.
So, frequently asked question. I can't afford Mur Vitality. It is, no doubt, it costs money to stay healthy, but it's even more expensive to be sick. My belief is everyone can afford to supplement more. It costs about $2 a day. It's the best daily health investment you'll ever make if health and longevity are, are amongst your highest values. Um,
