The minerals are made from fossilized minerals that started out as plants. They are cleaned, crushed and then cleaned again. The soluble salts are then naturally extracted and filtered. The utilization of these minerals in this form is far more complete than taking them in pill form, where depending on your digestion could mean up to 70% loss of minerals.

Where there is a deficiency in major minerals such as Calcium and Potassium, it is recommended to continue taking them along with the Colloidal Trace Minerals. Calcium and Magnesium tablets are important to supplement in the diet, especially females that are pregnant, have had children or in menopause and after to help prevent Osteoporosis (Bone Loss). Men in their 40's and older usually need extra calcium and magnesium.

The best type to use is a special combination that contains Hydroxyapatite. Extra Potassium is an important mineral that may be taken in addition to the Colloidal Trace Minerals. Other benefits could be to help keep the Heart Rhythm normal, aiding in regulating the body's water balance. Helps treat Diarrhea, Hypoglycemia, Mental and Physical stress.
