Aluminum:
The form that the mineral Aluminum takes is very important. For example, trace amounts of aluminum are commonly found in foods. The aluminum found in Mineral Pure is plant-derived and in the same form as is found in bananas, peas, cucumbers and many others. Most fruits and vegetables are rich in aluminum, and Americans consume 2mg - 150mg of plant-derived aluminum daily. The wrong forms of aluminum can be toxic, while the correct plant-derived form is in fact essential for proper functioning of the body. Mineral Pure contains only plant-derived aluminum. All of the minerals in Mineral Pure are in a natural organic form that may be used by the body without the risk of building up to potentially toxic levels. Minerals such as aluminum, arsenic, lead and so forth in the natural organic form are not only beneficial to the body but actually help the body to remove potentially harmful heavy metal forms of these elements. Only the colloidal form of these minerals are beneficial, and only when found occurring naturally. The Harvard Medical Newsletter finally published the fact that none of the investigating laboratories had differentiated the form that the aluminum was in and the controversy over aluminum has ceased. The same is true of arsenic, iodine, lead, mercury and other mineral elements. In their colloidal form they are needed by the body in trace amounts. In other words, microgram amounts. A microgram is one millionth of a gram.

A copper- containing enzyme plays a vital role in energy production in cells. The activity of this enzyme is highest in the heart, brain, liver and kidney. It has enzymes responsible for the production of the connective tissue proteins, collagen and elastin. This makes it necessary for the development and maintenance of blood vessels, skin, bone and joints.
Copper is involved in the release of iron from storage sites and is involved in the formation of bone marrow and the maturation of red blood cells. Copper is necessary for the synthesis of cell membrane phospholipids, and so helps maintain myelin, the insulating sheath that surrounds nerve cells. It also helps regulate neurotransmitter levels. Copper is part of the enzyme copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, an antioxidant vital for protection against free radical damage. Maintaining the correct balance between zinc and copper is important in many body functions involving superoxide dismutase. Copper is important in developing resistance to infection. During inflammation or infection, two copper-containing compounds, superoxide dismutase and ceruloplasmin, are mobilized in the body. Copper is also necessary for T cell function and maturation.
Copper is essential for the contractility of heart muscle. It is also necessary for the healthy function of small blood vessels that control blood flow and nutrient and waste exchange. It is also necessary for the functioning of the muscles of the blood vessels and is involved in the functioning of blood vessel linings and platelets which may play a role in blood clotting.
Cranberry:
The American cranberry has been shown to provide an undesirable growth medium for bacteria in the urinary tract. Specifically, it has been shown that cranberry constituents appear to inhibit the ability of bacteria to adhere to the cell wall that lines the urinary tract.
The fruits contain a variety of compounds including anthocyanins, flavonol glycosides, catechin, various organic acids, and small amounts of alkaloids. While some of these components have bacteriostatic activity, it seems that an uncharacterized polymer in these fruits acts as a potent anti-adhesive. This compound seems to prevent E. coli (the primary cause of chronic UTIs) from attaching to the lining of the urinary tract; thus preventing an infection. The cranberry fructose may assist in this function.
Cucumber:

Xylitol is a sweetener found in many fruits and vegetables and is even produced by the human body during its normal metabolism of glucose. Xylitol is typically manufactured from birch trees or other natural xylan-rich sources.
Xylitol is a naturally occurring 5-carbon sugar alcohol. It is found in many fruits and vegetables and is even produced by the human body as an intermediate in the normal metabolism of glucose. Xylitol is metabolized independently of insulin and is slowly absorbed. Therefore, when xylitol is consumed, the rise in blood glucose and insulin response associated with the ingestion of glucose is significantly reduced. Xylitol also reduces tooth decay.
Yucca:
Yucca is traditionally used as a blood purifier, and used to cleanse the urinary, circulatory, and digestive systems. Yucca contains saponins that improve the body's ability to produce a natural cortisone which helps with inflammation, healing, and pain.
Yucca has long been used to assists with the reduction of pain and inflammation, but also has fat absorbing and cholesterol reducing abilities. Yucca can help promote healthy flora of the intestines, relieve intestinal problems, aids digestion and helps the body to cleanse and detoxify, particularly by assisting in the removal of putrefactive substances from the gastrointestinal tract and eradicating yeasts in the colon.
Yucca contains natural saponins which can aid in the reduction of serum cholesterol levels. The body naturally and continuously secrets bile acids and cholesterol into the stomach, where it is reabsorbed. Saponins form strong insoluble complexes by binding to bile acids and cholesterol, making them unavailable for reabsorption by the body, thus promoting their excretion. The body then must use dietary or stored cholesterol to create more bile, which further reduces the amount of cholesterol that stays in the blood and leaves less to build up in the arteries. Yucca has also shown promise in its ability to assist the body with the reduction of triglycerides, blood pressure and migraines.
Yucca is both fat and water soluble which increases its ability to emulsify and inactivate ingested dietary fats, oils and cholesterols. These emulsified oils and fats are more easily absorbed by Chitosan and removed from the stomach.
