Ionic Minerals vs. Colloidal Minerals

What is the difference between Ionic, Water-Soluble Minerals and Colloidal Minerals?

Ionic minerals are the naturally-occuring form of mineral found in plants. Colloidal minerals are those that have not yet been converted into a bioavailable form for the human body.

Let's look at this…

In the natural world, plants take the metallic particles (colloids) from the soil, which our bodies cannot use without employing a process called conversion. Conversion is the process of changing colloids into an ionic/water-soluble form, which the cells can use. Without the assistance of a plant, the body must expend energy to convert these minerals from a colloid into the bioavailable ionic form.

Optimum utilization and absorption of all minerals is dependent upon the size and absorbency of the mineral. Just because a mineral is in a colloidal suspension does not ensure that it will absorb. A colloidal particle is a mineral that is between the molecules - i.e. suspended between molecules. An example of a colloid is seen when one obtains water from copper pipes and copper is found in the form of small particles in the water. In this form many minerals, excepting silver and gold, are toxic and can cause major health problems. When testing a colloid, one can shine a flashlight or laser through the suspension and see the particles. This is known as the "Tyndall Effect".

However, ionic minerals bond with the molecules of water resulting in the absence of the "Tyndall Effect". No physical machine, leaching (soaking), or any other means could produce particles so small, until now! Ionic Mineral Waters are made by a very technical, revolutionary new process and the result is simply 99.99% pure water-soluble minerals in pure water. We are not discounting the importance of colloidal minerals. We merely believe ionic minerals to be a more optimally useful form of minerals. Because of the body's ability to readily accept ionic minerals, no energy must be expended in the conversion process. Greater absorbency occurs when consuming ionic minerals in comparison to colloidal minerals. Ionic minerals are what nature brings to the table. Shouldn't you?

How are the Ionic Minerals made?

Our ionic minerals are made by a highly technical process that converts pure minerals into an ionic/water-soluble solution. These minerals are angstrom-sized particles. What the heck is an Angstrom?. The water used for the suspension is drawn from a subterranean spring for purification and processed by reverse osmosis then treated with ozone gas before the solution is added resulting in the finished product.
