There are astonishing proven benefits to the 21+ minerals in the dead sea salts!
MAGNESIUM
Promotes cell metabolism, aids muscle and nerve function, supports the immune system, and contributes to bone health. Aids in skin repair and regeneration by enhancing hydration, strengthening the skin barrier and reducing inflammation. You can find studies HERE revealing how the magnesium in Dead Sea salt improves skin barrier function.
The anti-inflammatory properties calm eczema and psoriasis and helps to reduce the itching. Skin ailments such as eczema and psoriasis are easily triggered due to stress and this is because of an increase in cortisol, the stress hormone. Cortisol increases the inflammation which leads to the itchiness and redness which allows the cycle to continue. The magnesium in high levels found in Dead Sea salts LOWERS CORTISOL production, which helps your body overcome this vicious stress cycle!
CALCIUM
Dead sea salts offer a higher concentration of calcium that supports skin regeneration, moisture retention, even aids in production of sebum for hydration. Can increase resilience to pollution while also supporting the structural integrity of skin cells. Working with other minerals, it helps to cleanse pores and remove impurities.
POTASSIUM
Plays a vital role in regulating skin moisture levels, aiding in electrolyte balance which can support nerve signaling and muscle function. Potassium can help support the process of oxidation which nourishes cells.
SODIUM
Hydration, exfoliation, and even detoxification support are just some of the benefits of sodium in dead sea salts. It can help maintain lymphatic fluid balance, can aid in neutralizing free radicals and impact the immune systems ability to defend against intruders. It helps to alleviate muscle tension and can play a role in treatment of rheumatological conditions.
CHLORIDE
Assists in removal of toxins to optimize healthy cell function. Working alongside the other minerals, Chloride helps to regulate cellular health. When dissolved in water it forms a hypertonic solution that helps to draw excess fluid from inflamed tissues which can reduce swelling and pressure on joints.
BROMIDE
Skin soothing and eases muscle cramps and stiffness which helps with conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Has been found to support the relaxation of muscles and nerves which contributes to better sleep quality and less stress.
SULFUR
Sulfur works as a natural disinfectant helping to kill off bacteria and works closely with the liver to help rid the body of toxins. It has antimicrobial properties which make it great for cleansing and purifying skin. Has been shown to play a role in tissue support as well as help repair DNA.
IODINE
Iodine contributes to thyroid function and supports production of thyroid hormones that help regulate metabolism and energy production. It’s also working alongside the other minerals to promote skin healing, reduce inflammation and help treat conditions like psoriasis and acne.
ZINC
This mineral is known for promoting wound healing, tissue renewal, and strengthening the immune response. It also stimulates collagen production and accelerates cell regeneration. Zinc works to balance sebum production and regulates fatty acids in the skin.
SILICON
Also known as silicon dioxide or silica, this mineral in Dead Sea Salt helps to maintain skin firmness and elasticity. It supports the overall structure and can aid in collagen production as well.
IRON
Essential to build the organic compounds, the mineral iron, allows carrying oxygen by the red blood cells. Iron is also used to store oxygen in cell tissue. Supports enzymatic reactions improving metabolism and immune function.
COPPER
Copper in Dead Sea Salt functions as a humectant to retain skin moisture and lock in hydration at the skin’s surface. It can reduce skin aging, improve elasticity and even help with wound healing.
MANGANESE
Manganese works synergistically with the other minerals and is critical for maintaining the structural integrity and repair capabilities of the skin, has great strategy for maintaining connective tissue health and aids in microcirculation.
COBALT
Cobalt is present in minute quantities and is noted for its role in various enzymatic processes within the body. Cobalt contributes to the unique mineral profile that distinguishes Dead Sea salt from oceanic salt.
CHROMIUM
Chromium is an essential trace mineral that primarily enhances the action of insulin to help regulate blood glucose levels by facilitating the movement of glucose from the blood into cells. The trace levels of Chromium in Dead Sea salt are working together with other combined minerals to support metabolic processes.
SELENIUM
Selenium responds as a powerful antioxidant that protects cell membranes, exfoliates dead skin, cleans pores, and can delay skin aging. It can play a role in thyroid function as well as boost the immune system. In this linked study HERE, selenium has been found to lower inflammation and oxidative stress which helps in prevention of cardiovascular disease.
LITHIUM
The presence of lithium in Dead Sea salt can aid in neurological support having soothing effects on not just the skin but the nervous system as well. There are ongoing studies linking lithium deficiency in Alzheimer’s disease, you can read more about that HERE. It can play the role of alleviating rheumatologic issues like arthritis and come alongside the other minerals to improve various skin conditions.
RUBIDIUM
Some evidence suggests that rubidium may have a role in free radical pathology and serve as a mineral transporter across defective cell membranes, especially in cells associated with aging. See the link HERE
STRONTIUM
Research indicates strontium can mitigate inflammation in the brain and hippocampus, potentially protecting against neuroinflammation and related disorders. It has also shown promise in treating conditions such as allergic rhinitis and temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis. This mineral, which shares chemical properties with calcium, contributes to bone and skin health.
VANADIUM
While research on vanadium’s health benefits are ongoing, its presence in Dead Sea salt may have a role in insulin regulation and energy metabolism.
BORON
Boron alongside zinc, selenium, copper, magnesium act as the first line of defense against cell damage. The mineral boron is known for maintaining and strengthening bone health and preventing mineral depletion. It ensures cell membranes remain strong and helps prevent the loss of other minerals.
