Rowena, The mineral product you mentioned in your last post is called humic shale or humic clay, usually minerals from the ground that have been ground to dust and then suspended in water. Usually they are very old organic deposits (plants and animals) that have essentially petrified. They may not be as assimilable as other forms of minerals. I at one time recommended to my clients a liquid mineral supplement from a company called New Vision, a multi-level company. Their product was humic shale/clay. My clients reported good results if they ingested enough of it - usually 3 - 4 oz/day (an expensive dosage). There were around 65-70 minerals in it, including many trace minerals. There are many companies marketing humic shale products at varying strengths, with varying positive results. If I had nothing else, I would use them.
The reason I like Concentrace is because it comes from organic sources (the decayed plant matter that is found in the Great Salt Lake). It also contains every mineral needed by the human body - over 100 minerals. The proportions of these minerals to each other are almost identical to the proportions of minerals found in healthy human blood plasma. In Australia, see: http://www.bionatural.com.au/?newsID=89578 It appears that this company sells Concentrace under another name. http://www.ausvita.com/ This company's 'Colloidal' minerals are humic shale in water. http://www.agmfoods.com/index.html?target=products/ionic_minerals.htm It sounds like the same description used by the Concentrace folks. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
