New Zealand Herbals

20/04/2026

In response to a patients question askimg whether a mineral product they were using could replace New Zealand Herbals Mineral Max formulatiion:

“That’s a great question. While products like CMD provide a broad spectrum of trace minerals, they don’t fully replace what Mineral Max offers.

In my clinical formulations, I already include colloidal trace minerals in liquid remedies—so if you’re using any of my liquids, you’re receiving a wide range of trace elements (often 70+). These are excellent for supporting enzymatic activity and cellular communication.

However, Mineral Max goes significantly further.
It provides not only trace minerals, but also the macro minerals your body requires in meaningful amounts—such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and others that are essential for structural repair, nerve function, and metabolic balance.

In addition, Mineral Max includes important co-factors, including supportive vitamins, which help ensure these minerals are properly absorbed and utilised by the body. Even the capsule itself contributes functionally, supporting connective tissue and structural integrity.

So while CMD is a useful adjunct, it cannot replace Mineral Max.
Think of trace minerals as the “spark plugs,” but macro minerals as the building blocks. For true repair, resilience, and optimal function, both are needed—but Mineral Max provides the complete foundation.

Clinically, I find that all other remedies work more effectively when Mineral Max is used alongside them, because the body has the raw materials it needs to respond, repair, and rebalance efficiently.”

Key Points on Minerals
1. Essential for Life
Minerals are inorganic nutrients the body cannot produce but must obtain from food. They are vital for survival and proper physiological function.
2. Structural Role
They form the physical structure of the body—especially bones and teeth (e.g., calcium, phosphorus, magnesium).
3. Electrolyte Balance
Minerals like sodium, potassium, and chloride regulate fluid balance, hydration, and blood pressure.
4. Nerve Function
Electrolytes enable nerve transmission and electrical signalling, affecting cognition, reflexes, and coordination.
5. Muscle Contraction
Calcium, magnesium, and potassium are critical for muscle contraction and relaxation, including the heart.
6. Enzyme Activation
Many minerals act as co-factors for enzymes, enabling thousands of biochemical reactions (e.g., zinc, magnesium).
7. Energy Production
Minerals such as iron and magnesium support ATP production and oxygen transport, influencing energy levels.
8. Hormonal Regulation
Iodine, selenium, and zinc are essential for hormone production and endocrine balance, especially thyroid function.
9. Immune Support
Zinc, selenium, and iron play major roles in immune defence and healing.
10. Acid–Alkaline Balance
Minerals help buffer pH, maintaining a stable acid–base balance in the body.
11. Deficiency & Excess Matter
Both too little and too much can cause dysfunction—balance is key (e.g., iron deficiency vs. overload).
12. Bioavailability Matters
The body must absorb and utilise minerals properly—this depends on digestion, gut health, and co-nutrients (e.g., vitamin D for calcium).

If Hawthorn could speak, it would not shout. It would sit beside you quietly, place a gentle hand on your chest, and say:

“Dear heart, you have been working tirelessly for a lifetime.
Not just pumping blood — but holding grief, carrying stress, absorbing shock, and enduring the pace of a world that rarely rests.”

“I am here not to force you, but to strengthen you… slowly, steadily, faithfully.”

Hawthorn’s Message to a Troubled Heart

“Do not fear your weakness — it is simply a call for nourishment.”

Hawthorn speaks to those who feel:
• Tightness in the chest
• Irregular rhythms
• Emotional heaviness or heartbreak
• Fatigue that seems to sit deep in the circulation

“Your heart is not failing — it is asking for support, for oxygen, for flow, for kindness.”

What Hawthorn Would Gently Do

“I strengthen without strain.”
• I improve the flow of blood through your coronary vessels
• I help your heart muscle receive oxygen more efficiently
• I support rhythm — calming excess and strengthening weakness
• I restore tone to the cardiovascular system over time

“I do not act like a drug that forces change. I build resilience so your heart remembers its natural rhythm.”

To the Emotional Heart

“Many come to me not just with physical pain… but with sorrow.”

Hawthorn is the plant of:
• Grief that has settled in the chest
• Loss that feels unresolved
• Emotional shock that lingers in the body

“I soften what has hardened. I open what has closed.”

Hawthorn’s Advice

“Slow down.”
“Chew your food well.”
“Breathe deeply — especially when you don’t want to.”
“Walk gently in nature — your rhythm will return.”

“And please… stop living as though everything is urgent.”

A Final Word from Hawthorn

“I am not a quick fix. I am a companion.”

“Take me daily, patiently, and I will rebuild what has been worn down — not just your heart, but your trust in its strength.”
