Mental Health Concerns are Rising

The United States National Institute of Mental Health estimates that more than 40 million U.S. citizens are affected by any one of a number of mental and emotional conditions.  While they are not all “mental illness”, all adversely affect quality of life. They include fatigue, insomnia, attention disorders, eating problems, PMS, alcoholism, and aggressive behavior to mention a few. Add to this the fact that an estimated 50 million additional people suffer from intermittent bouts of any number of combinations of these conditions.  Further, it's reported that close to 1/3 of the entire U.S. population personally grapples with mental health concerns.

In 1995, it was estimated that the United States national sickness care system accounted for more than $1.3 trillion. That is more resources that the U.S. spent that year on defense, housing, food and education combined. That figure has dramatically grown each year, since. A great deal is heard about cancer, AIDS, heart disease, and arthritis. But, the largest single disorder group in the United States today is "MENTAL ILLNESS".

Mineral and Nutritional Insufficiencies

For many years there have been intense and aggressive studies regarding the use of nutritional supplements, minerals and vitamins for the treatment of various diseases and illnesses.  Linus Pauling, Nobel Prize laureate and research pioneer in the study of vitamin C and other nutrients has been quoted, "You can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency." Later, Dr. Roger Williams of the University of Texas, who considered Linus Pauling his mentor, developed his theory of nutritional insufficiency.

When we examine the complex metabolic pathways in simple amino acid metabolism, we realize that the lack of a single element has the ability to wreak havoc with the central nervous system. There are hundreds of enzymes involved in these complex pathways.  Each one is a basis of the essential elements of life and may be lacking in our diets.

Research reveals that there is a correlation between the levels of various essential nutrients in the tissue of persons suffering central nervous system disorders, (CNSD), as compared to those who do not.  Studies have shown a statistically and significant lower level of these elements in persons with such disorders, when compared to a normal control population. The use of elements or minerals to alleviate or diminish the effects of CNSD is generally well known in medical literature.

How QuietMinds Nutritional Supplement Can Help

QuietMinds is a unique combination of ingredients including vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other essential components designed to provide nutritional support for those seeking emotional wellness. Among the richest formulations produced to help stabilize the emotion, QuietMinds offers a balanced, rich nutritional supplement. It contains fundamental elements that are designed to meet nutritional deficiencies of persons concerned with supporting emotional and mental wellness. Early studies of a similar product proceeding QuietMinds current formula, showed promising signs of providing ingredients which helped establish emotional stability.

By taking QuietMinds Nutritional Supplements, numbers of our participants report improved feelings of general well being, a notable sense of improvement of the quality of their lives. 

The human brain is the master control center of the body. For the average adult, it weighs about three pounds, (less than 2% of the body’s total weight.) However, the brain requires 20% of the body’s oxygen and energy supply for 100 billion neurons (brain cells.) Our brain is a chemical factory.  It produces serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and other brain chemicals 24 hours per day. The only raw materials used for the syntheses in this “factory” are nutrients.  These include amino acids, vitamins and minerals.  It is believed that if the brain receives improper amounts of these nutritional building blocks, or if the brain fails to properly process the nutrients available to it, serious problems result.

Many neurotransmitter problems appear to be genetic in nature.  Often these involve abnormal absorption, metabolism or storage of key nutrients. QuietMinds consultants believe that as neuroscience advances, specific biochemical treatments to correct brain chemistry will become common.  However, until and unless this occurs, QuietMinds Nutritional Supplements may play a major role in supporting mental wellness.

If you wish to acquire an excellent nutritional supplement which contains over 70 minerals, and a rich combination of vitamins and amino acids, designed to make the minerals more responsive within your body, we offer QuietMinds. Most of these elements have been researched individually. In many thousands of trials and studies they have indicated positive effects on parts of the central nervous system, neurotransmitters while helping to keep the body healthy. With this in mind, QuietMinds is an excellent choice.

Studies have shown that a formula such as contained in QuietMinds Nutritional Supplements may have a powerful effect treating the symptoms and causes of emotional flux. The QuietMinds formula provides a commanding combination of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Gratefully, it is believed by many that this rich combination addresses nutrient deficiencies in people suffering emotional unsteadiness. The simple idea that mental and emotional illness could be the result from something as simple as insufficiency of nutrients does not seem something beyond consideration when the evidence is studied.

Nutritional Factors in QuietMinds

The B vitamins are important factors in determining mood. It has been proven that deficiencies of any or all of these vitamins can produce significant symptoms relating to anxiety, depression irritability, lethargy and fatigue. Many suffering from affective disorders state that supplementation of B Vitamins is extremely important to helping them feel better. Some say that people suffering these symptoms do not absorb the B vitamins easily. Four equal doses per day are preferred. In these vitamins, as well as other elements in our formula, capsules are more expensive to produce but far more preferable for better absorption. 

B1 (Thiamin mononitrate)

Your body uses thiamin to process fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Thiamin deficiencies tend to produce a collection of symptoms: chronic fatigue, irritability, memory loss, personality changes (such as aggression), insomnia, anxiety, restlessness, night terrors, appetite loss sensitivity to noise, numbness and tingling in hands and feet and circulation problems. Supplementation recommendations are usually 1.2 to 1.6 mg of this vitamin per day.  QuietMinds maintenance dosage is 10 mg. per day.   

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)

Vitamin B2 works with two enzymes critical to production of adenosine triphosphate, its main source of energy. Riboflavin is used to process amino acids and fats.  It also is necessary to activate vitamin B6 and Folate, other ingredients in the QuietMinds formula.  U.S. RDA for adults ranges between 1.3 to 1.8 mg per day. Quiet Mindsä contains 5.5 mg per dosage. Therapeutic doses are often as high as 400 mg daily.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin)

Niacin is required for the proper function of over 50 enzymes.  Without B3 your body would not be able to release energy or make fats out of carbohydrates. It also is used to make important chemical signal molecules. The U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance for adults is 15-20 mg, depending on age and sex. When used in therapeutic dosages, niacin is often taken in amounts of 1 to 4 grams per day.  QuietMinds contains 25 milligrams per dose.

B6 (Pyridoxine HCI)

Deficiency of this vitamin is reported to cause irritability. This has been expressed by many manic-depressives. Women who suffer from PMS, birth-control-pill-induced irritability, and post-partum depression often have deficiencies of this vitamin. Deficiency of B6 can cause motion sickness; if you have a tendency toward this difficulty, you may be more confident that you have a deficiency in B6 vitamin if you find that you suffer motion sickness. We believe that B6 should not be taken by itself. Amount of B6 should be controlled with a recommended amount generally not to exceed 100 mg.  The daily maintenance dosage for QuietMinds is 14 mg.

B12 (Cyanocobalamin)

It is generally accepted that vitamin B12 is a vitamin necessary for energy production. A deficiency in this vitamin can cause fatigue, anemia, and lack of coordination. B12 is difficult to absorb through the digestive system, particularily for older persons, whose digestive tracts are less efficient than younger ones. Vegetarians are more deficient in B12. The amounts thought to be an appropriate amount for supplementation is between 500 mcg to 2000 mcg. The amount taken in a normal QuietMinds maintenance dosage is 500 mcg. 

Folic Acid

A great deal of media attention has recently been devoted to the importance of folic acid in the prevention of spinal malfunctions in fetuses. People who are manic-depressive should exercise care in taking high dosages (probably in excess of 3000 mcg per day), since anecdotal evidence has suggested that excesses could lead to manic behavior.  The FDA decrees that vitamin pills contain no more than 800 mcg.  The QuietMinds capsule contains 50 mcg, with the recommended total maintenance dosage containing 800 mcg.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has become the most written about and researched vitamin in the United States. Certainly it is the most controversial of the vitamins. Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling contended that vitamin C could be used to effectively treat such diverse illness as cancer and the common cold. Humans, as they have evolved, lost their ability to make vitamin C from scratch.  Most other animals have the ability to produce vitamin C. One of vitamin C’s main functions is to help the body manufacture collagen.  Collagen is a key protein in our connective tissue, cartilage and tendons. Vitamin C is a powerful anti-oxidant.  It protects the body against damaging natural substances called free radicals.  It complements another vitamin, another antioxidant, vitamin E.  The U.S. RDA for adults is: 60-90 mg per day. However therapeutic doses recommended by Dr. Pauling have exceeded 20 to 30 grams per day. QuietMinds provides 250 mg per dose.

Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol)

Cholecalciferol is manufactured by the body and is also found in some foods. As with vitamins A and E dosages of vitamin D are expressed in international units (IU) rather than milligrams.  The recommended adequate intake for vitamin D is 200-600 IU daily, depending on age. According to current recommendations, the maximum safe dosage of vitamin D, in the absence of sunlight or other sources, is 2,000 IU daily.  QuietMinds maintenance dosage provides 800 IU per day.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E  has been used in the treatment of tardive dyskinesia, ( a side effect of antipsychotic drugs), is reported to have shown promise in preventing a complication in pregnancy called preeclampsia, and is believed helpful to improve immunity, slow the progressive of Alzheimer’s disease and improve fertility. The U.S. RDA for adults ranges between 8 IU and 12 IU per day, depending on age and sex.  QuietMinds capsules contain 12.5 IU each with the maintenance dosage offering 200 IU per day.

Biotin

Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that is reported to play an important role in metabolizing the energy we get from food.  It assists four essential enzymes that break down fats, carbohydrates and proteins. There is no recommended dietary allowance for biotin. The QuietMinds formula provides 50 mcg in its recommended  maintenance dosage.

Calcium (Dicalcium phosphate)

More than 99% of the calcium in your body is found within your bones.  However, the remaining 1% may be just as important for good health.  Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body.  It makes up nearly 2% of total body weight. Many enzymes depend on calcium in order to work properly, as do the body’s nerves, heart, and blood-clotting mechanisms. An adult Adequate Intake for calcium ranges between 1,000 to 1,300 mg per day.  QuietMinds recommended maintenance dosage delivers 1100 mg per day.

Iron gluconate

Iron deficiency can lead to anemia and learning disabilities. It can impair immune function, cause fatigue and depression. The element iron is essential to human life. It is a part of hemoglobin, which is the oxygen-caring protein in red blood cells. As such, iron plays an integral role in nourishing every cell in the body with oxygen. It is reported that iron has been used in the treatment of attention deficit disorder.  The U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance for adults is 10 mg to 15 mg per day. QuietMinds provides 12 mg in its recommended daily maintenance dose.

Phosphorus (Dicalcium phosphate)

Phosphorus is the body’s source of phosphate.  Phosphate is most busy as it works to help create and manage energy and synthesizing protein, carbohydrates and fat.  Important to the QuietMinds formula is the fact that it creates conditions that allow the body to maximize the use of the B vitamins. QuietMinds maintenance dosage provides 850 gm of  phosphorus, or approximately 85% of the Daily Value.

Iodine (Kelp leaf)

The recommended daily allowance of iodine in adults and children over 11 years of age is 150 mcg per day.  QuietMinds provides 150 mcg when the QuietMinds daily-recommended maintenance dosage is taken. Principally found in sea water iodine is essential in manufacturing thyroid hormone, which maintains normal metabolism in all cells of the body.

Manganese gluconate

Manganese is a trace mineral. It is thought to be an essential nutrient, but precise daily requirements have yet to be established. However, the U.S. RDA considers 5 mg of manganese safe and adequate. Typical therapeutic dosages used in studies exceed 6 mg. We have read of doses as high as 200 mg daily for a period of two weeks, following a muscle sprain or strain, which have been recommended.  Unfortunately, studies that could prove or disprove this idea haven’t been done. When a deficiency exists we’ve received reports that it can produce fatigue, irritability, memory problems and ear noises, such as ringing. The QuietMinds dosage contains 4 mg.

Magnesium Chelate

Magnesium is an essential nutrient mineral, which means that your body needs it for healthy functioning.  Magnesium has been called “nature’s calcium channel-blocker.” This reference results from magnesium’s ability to block calcium from entering muscles and heart cells.  This may be the foundation for magnesium’s reported effects on migraine headaches and high blood pressure. Our bodies use magnesium for muscle relaxation, blood clotting and the manufacturing of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy molecule of the body. A requirement for magnesium increases as we age.  The U.S. RDA for adults ranges between 310 mg and 420 mg, depending upon your sex and age. A QuietMinds serving provides 250 mg.  Therefore a QuietMinds maintenance dosage affords 500 mg daily.  

Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B5 (Calcium pantothenate)

The human body uses pantothenic acid to manufacture  proteins as well as other important chemicals needed to metabolize fats and carbohydrates.  It is used as well to make acetylcholine which is an important neurotransmitter or carrier of signals between nerve cells. Therapeutic usage records doses as high as 600 mg, 3 times per day for the treatment of arthritis, and 300 mg, 3 times per day for lowering of cholesterol and triglycerides.  It is also referred to as an anti-stress nutrient because it plays a role in the function of the adrenal glands. The U.S. RDA for adults is not to exceed 7 mg per day. The recommended QuietMinds dosage is 6 mg.

Selenium AAC

Selenium is a trace mineral that is used by our bodies to produce an enzyme that operates as a natural antioxidant. This enzyme, glutathione peroxidase, works with vitamin E, protecting cell membranes from damage caused by dangerous, free radicals. QuietMinds contains 300 mcg of selenium per dosage for maintenance, however, the U.S. RDA is no more than 75 mcg per day, for adults.  

Copper gluconate

Copper’s possible role in treating disease is based on the fact that it is an essential part of many important enzymes.  These enzymes cannot do their jobs without copper yet, the human body contains only 70 mg to 80 mg of copper.  QuietMinds, L.L.C. has received reports that marginal copper deficiencies appear to be common in Western diets.  Also, we are told that excessive zinc reduces the amount of copper in our bodies. U.S. Adequate Daily Dietary Intake is recommended for adults at 1.5 to 3.0 mg per day. A QuietMinds dosage contains 3.0 mg.

Chromium polynicotinate

Chromium plays an important role in human nutrition. Chromium’s most important function is to help regulate the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Scientists believe that insulin uses chromium as a cofactor to “unlock the door” to the cell membrane, allowing glucose to enter the cell. No recommended Dietary Allowance has been established , however, the Safe and Adequate Daily Dietary Intake for adults is up to 200 mcg per day. QuietMinds provides 250 mcg per serving.

Methionine

Methionine is an essential amino acid.  It is one of the building blocks of proteins and peptides that your body can’t manufacture from other chemicals. Our bodies use methionine to make creatine, using the sulfur in methionine for normal metabolism and growth. Depending on body weight, humans need between 500 and 1,000 mg of methionine for normal health. QuietMinds includes 1,000 of methionine in its recommended maintenance dosage.

Molybdenum (Sodium molybdate)

Molybdenum is one of the micronutrients. It is categorized among the trace minerals but is considered an essential element in human nutrition.  It is involved in many important biological processes, possibly including the development of the nervous system and energy production in the cells.  Molybdenum though scarce is sold in some health food stores.  A typical dose is 75 gm daily.  QuietMinds offers 66 gm per dosage with two doses per day the recommended maintenance level.

Potassium chloride

Potassium is one of the major electrolytes in our bodies, along with sodium and chloride. Potassium and sodium work together. When the level of one rises, the level of the other goes down. Research indicates that it is important to get enough magnesium, too, when taking potassium. QuietMinds, L.L.C. is aware of these balances. The minimum daily requirement for adults is 1,600 to 2,300 mg.  QuietMinds provides 6 mg per day with its maintenance dosage.  

Zinc glaciate

Zinc is an important element that is found in every cell of the human body. More than 300 enzymes within the body need zinc in order to function properly.  The amount of zinc that is needed by the body is quite small, but it is extremely important that your body gets it. It has been frequently reported that zinc deficiency contributes to mental problems It is very difficult to get sufficient zinc from the average American diet.  Generally supplementation of no more than 30 mg per day is recommended. In any event, when taking zinc it is recommended that 1 to 3 mg of copper is taken daily as well. The QuietMinds Nutritional Supplement contains 20 mg per dosage and copper balanced.

QuietMinds contains 730 mg of a proprietary blend of:

• Phenylalanine

• L-Glutamine

• Choline bitartrate

• Citrus Bioflavanoids

• Inositol

• Grapeseed Extract

• Gingko Biloba

• Baron Amino Acid Chelate

• Vandyl Sulfate, and 

• Nickel Chelate.  

Each of these elements is provided as a result of studies and information indicating each, or in combination, may  benefit people seeking good physical health and those suffering emotional problems.

Added to the above elements and ingredients, QuietMinds has blended 100 mg of a proprietary blend of an Amino Acid Complex.

Finally, based upon the QuietMinds recommended maintenance dosage, we daily provide another 800 mg of all minerals, provided in plant mineral form. This addition  insures a total of 70 plant-derived minerals, augmenting our already rich recipe. QuietMinds formulated this exclusive mixture to assist mental and physical wellness.  Plant minerals like those obtained from fresh fruits and vegetables are dramatically different from metallic minerals. Even their size and molecular weight is considerably smaller than those of metallic minerals.  In most cases plant minerals are even attached to a different molecule.  QuietMinds, with its plant-mineral-addition, contains some minerals so rare that many people have never heard of them. Predigested by plants more than 70 million years ago, these minerals offer elements that took more than 600 years to accumulate. We are informed that a glacier may have buried a richly dense growth of numerous plants.  These plants had already absorbed and processed minerals from the soil.  It is estimated that a massive collection of these plants accumulated over a 600-year period, then were pressed down and pressured by the glacier. The result: A thousand acres, 30 feet deep reserve of humic shale. This is the source of our 70+ plant minerals.

Plant minerals within the QuietMinds formula are totally different from our metallic minerals. Yet, they possess the same name! QuietMinds’ technical advisors predict that the scientific world will eventually change the name of plant minerals, as science realizes that plant minerals function differently than metallic minerals. Consultants inform QuietMinds’ that plant minerals may be as much as 10,000 times smaller than a red blood cell, possibly 100,000 times smaller than corresponding metallic minerals. Plant minerals are believed to be far more effective and much more readily absorbable than metallic counterparts. 

While thousands of people have used our formula, or a formula similar, for this purpose, we are careful to urge all of our customers to consult their own health care professional. Everyone who has used nutritional supplements similar or formulated exactly as QuietMinds does not claim identical success in dealing with emotional stress or disorder. We believe that there are many factors which may affect stability. They include the use of illegal drugs, herbal mood altering medications, the misuse of alcohol, caffeine, soft drinks, sugar and sugar substitutes, as well as sleep patterns.  QuietMinds urges that people taking our supplements eat the recommended amounts of fresh fruit and vegetables.
