Product Description
Every brand has its own name for the 12-in-one tissue salt (aka Scheussler cell salts) formula: Unda’s was “Melange”, but their manufacturer has closed their facilities, so we’re going with the tried-and-true Canadian company, Homeocan. Their Diamite formula features all 12 tissue salts:
- Calcarea fluorica
- Calcarea Phosphorica
- Calcarea sulphurica
- Ferrum phosphoricum
- Kali muriaticum
- Kali phosphoricum
- Kali sulphuricum
- Magnesia phosphorica
- Natrum muriaticum
- Natrum phosphoricum
- Natrum sulphuricum
- Silicea
Non medicinal ingredients: Lactose, magnesium stearate.
Taking the 12-in-1 formula provides supports overall health, rather than targeting a specific symptom. It helps the body absorb and replenish minerals and electrolytes, thereby improving energy levels and aiding in the absorption of nutrients from food. The different cell salts in the formula have a synergistic action, working together to balance mineral levels at a cellular level, which is distinct from the targeted action of individual salts. It’s also a simple “all-in-one” approach for maintaining mineral balance, particularly useful for post-workout recovery or as a general daily supplement.
A Primer on Tissue Salts (aka cell salts, biochemic salts, or Scheussler cell salts)
Named after their founder Doctor Wilhelm Schüssler, tissue salts are not actually salts but rather mineral compounds that he discovered are the main constituents of the human body. The salts are prepared in low potency dilutions in a method somewhat similar to homeopathic remedies, although a measurable amounts of the original mineral constituents still remain (unlike homeopathics, which are often diluted beyond the measurable threshold). The concept is that the the low dilution allows the micro-dosed minerals to pass through compromised cell walls to correct specific mineral imbalances and support cellular nutrition, without the toxicity risks associated with bulk mineral supplementation.
Like homeopathic remedies which are usually administered under the tongue or dissolved in a very small amount of water, tissue salts are easily absorbed through the mucous membranes in the mouth, bypassing most of the digestive system. They are the ideal way to bring the body back into nutritional balance, as they are:
- Gentle
- Absorbed rapidly
- Natural
- Pleasant tasting
- Convenient to carry
- Non-toxic and non-addictive
- Safe to use with other medicines
- Suitable for broad, general health complaints (unlike standard homeopathy that requires more precise symptom matching).
