What is an ionic mineral?

Many mineral supplements that you buy are basically ‘ground up inorganic minerals’. The body can only absorb 8 to 12% of minerals in this form, and only 3 to 5% for people over the age of 40 - the rest of the minerals are excreted as waste!

Another form of mineral supplements is a chelated mineral. These are inorganic as before, but they have been ‘wrapped’ with either an amino acid or a sugar coating, which allows more of the mineral to be absorbed. Typically only 12 to 2o% is absorbed by this method. Again the rest is excreted.Humans are designed to get their minerals from plant sources. Plants turn inorganic minerals into colloidal minerals using photosynthesis. Ionic minerals are about 1/600th the size of a red blood cell. Because of the size of the molecule, ionic mineral supplements can only be in liquid form.
Liquid ionic minerals - the best type of colloidal minerals on the planet !!
