Hibiscus Flowers: This herb contains an astonishingly large amount of two valuable trace mineral elements, chromium and selenium. While it is true that many sea vegetables do contain these trace elements as well, no other single herb has been found with levels as high for these two vital trace elements combined, as in the flower petals of this splendid tropical and sub-tropical flower. In order for us to tolerate and use the glucose (blood sugar) normally present in our blood stream, chromium is needed so the nerves and brain can function properly. The body makes a substance with chromium in it called Glucose Tolerance Factor (GFT). With this GFT the body can then produce and use the hormone, correcting the condition known as sugar diabetes (where insulin is not properly utilized). The trace element Selenium functions much like the oil based vitamin complex known collectively as Vitamin E, when it comes to destroying harmful cancer causing compounds in the body, known as "free radicals". Selenium does this by protecting the genetic machinery of the cell nucleus or "cell headquarters," when it is dividing to form new cells. Selenium also corrects heart and circulatory diseases by preventing the breakdown of the circulatory system.
