Sulfur
Sulfur is mineral.
It disinfects the blood, protects against toxic substances and helps the
body resist bacteria. It protects the
cells and is needed for the synthesis of collagen, a principal protein
that gives the skin its structural integrity. Acid-forming, it also
stimulates bile secretion and is part of
the chemical structure of the following:
- Cysteine amino acid: which is the chief protein constituent of the
skin. It aids in the production of collagen and helps detoxify.
- Glutathione tripeptide: an antioxidant stores predominantly in the
liver, where it detoxifies harmful compounds for their excretion through
the bile.
- Methionine amino acid: which assists in digestion and the breakdown
of fats. It helps detoxify,
is beneficial for chemical allergies,
required for the synthesis of collagen, and reduces histamine.
- Taurine amino acid: a key component of bile for the digestion of
fats. Necessary for the utilization of potassium
and magnesium. Helpful for anxiety.
Losses of taurine are associated with overgrowth of candida, stress
and zinc deficiency.
