Colloidal Minerals FAQ's

Colloidal Minerals are extracted from shale deposits formed through the decomposition of prehistoric plant life. Almost all Colloidal Mineral supplements are taken from shale deposits in Utah or neighboring areas. The microscopic size of fossilized minerals taken from this area allows the human body to better utilize these elements at a cellular level. Many of the minerals contained in this supplement are greatly depleted or absent from most soil-based diets today. Soil depletion, lack of seaweed and seafood in the diet, and over-processing of foods all contribute to trace mineral deficiency in people’s diets. supplementation is a good way to obtain more optimal levels of these nutritionally important minerals.

Once colloidal minerals are extracted, the minerals are washed down and filtered for purity. This filtration process also removes heavy metals from the finished product. For example, arsenic levels are less than one part per million (1 ppm). The array of minerals in this product is too extensive to list here, but includes dozens of naturally occurring trace elements.
