Research provides evidence that various mineral deficiencies can cause an interruption of healthy tissue production.  The two major forms of arthritis can be caused by this problem.  Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis exhibit degeneration of the cartilage matrix due to chronic inflammation caused by deficient cell function.  As this inflammation process occurs, both nitric oxide and glycosaminoglycan are produced.  This leads to further cartilage deterioration.  Minerals can dramatically reduce the amounts of nitric oxide and glycosaminoglycan produced, therefore supporting the stabilization, prevention, and/or reversal of chronic inflammation.

An important factor in mineral use is bioavailability.  The minerals in Lumanite™ are in a highly bio-available format.  This increased bioavailability improves absorption, which is important for realizing the health benefits of the minerals.  Many minerals sold today are not readily absorbed by the body and simply pass through the digestive tract.
