Description
Like zinc, manganese, and chromium, organic germanium, an ultra-trace mineral found in certain plants and water, is considered important to proper metabolic functioning and immune health.
How it Works:
Germanium triggers interferon, leucocyte, interleukin, t-cell, and natural killer cell responses in the body –normalizing them to optimal levels. It also shows an affinity for oxygen attachment. Why is this important? Interferon, leucocyte, interleukin, t-cell, and natural killer cells are the foundation of the immune response and this is amplified in the presence of oxygen. Oxygen also supports detox, recovery, and tissue repair.
How to Take:
The recommended dosage for germanium can range from 100-1000 mg/day. The best results are seen if taken with water, orange juice, or grape juice.
MADE IN THE USA
Where is Organic-G found naturally?
Organic germanium is found in high concentrations (for an ultra-trace mineral) in ginseng, shiitake mushrooms, aloe, comfrey, garlic, bracket fungus, and chlorella and is considered key to their therapeutic activity. Organic Germanium is also found in springs around the world; the most famous of these are the waters of Lourdes which historically touts over 7000 “miracle cures” over the centuries.
Studies:
Under medical supervision, numerous patients with a broad range of symptoms have been treated with germanium at doses from 500 to 1000 mg/day.
A review of the literature found no reports of allergic reactions to organic germanium.
NOT the mineral found in superconductors:
Not to be confused with inorganic Germanium, the highly toxic mineral used in semiconductors, Organic Germanium is found in our food and water and has been thoroughly studied in extensive toxicological (acute, sub-acute, chronic, and reproductive) and pharmacological studies and has been found to be virtually non-toxic. It is also considered non-reactive, meaning it does not react with or impede other minerals, medicines, etc., and is expelled from the body within 48 hours. Organic-G is safe to use and could be helpful to you.
Uses: Oxygen Transport, Bathing, Cell Revitalization, Metabolism, Healing, Immune Support, Skin, Autoimmune, Brain, Mood
Other Names: organic germanium, germanium-132 (Ge-132), germaniumsesquioxide, and bis-carboxyethylgermaniumsesquioxide
