Water Mineral Supplements

Most vendors of water soluble mineral supplements like to baffle the masses with BS by calling their concoctions "ionic" or "colloidal" mineral supplements that are somehow more bioavailable than other products.  This unsubstantiated psychobabble is rampant on the Internet. A colloid is simply a particle suspended in a liquid or a gas. Milk is an example of a colloid (it's a protein suspended in liquid). Most minerals occur in nature as ions, meaning they are negatively or positively charged particles. Ionic minerals, on the other hand, supposedly are dissolved in water or in a water-soluble form (as opposed to a colloid, which is a suspension). Ionic mineral manufacturers say that their product is assimilated more quickly and efficiently into the body than colloidal minerals, which they claim aren't absorbed as well as touted.

Another frequent claim is that the charge of the mineral determines how readily the body will absorb it. However, many minerals exist in nature with a positive charge, and are absorbed adequately in that state. As a matter of fact, numerous factors affect absorption, which varies from mineral to mineral, regardless of a mineral's charge. With some minerals, a person with low levels of them will absorb a greater percentage than someone with adequate stores. With other minerals, that's not the case, and high levels can be harmful. Absorption can also be enhanced or inhibited by certain factors, foods, and nutrients. A good example of this is iron. Heme iron, the form of iron found in animals or animal sources, is more readily absorbed than non-heme iron, which is of plant origin. Phytates, a substance in some plants, bind iron, reducing its availability in our digestive tract. Vitamin C, however, increases our absorption of non-heme iron. As you can see, many factors come into play with nutrient absorption, whether a mineral has a positive or a negative charge. (By the way, iron has a positive charge.)

Some of these manufacturers also erroneously state that minerals are absorbed instantaneously through the lining of the stomach. This is untrue” almost all minerals are absorbed in the small intestine. It takes some time for food to travel to the small intestine, depending on what and how much has been eaten.

We use a proprietary blend of SanC-Min, a calcium and mineral supplement produced under a patent pending process without the use of any synthetic chemicals. It is produced using only naturally occuring whole food calcium and trace minerals with everyday food ingredients. Absorption studies performed at Texas A&M show at least a 50% absorption rate.   This propriatary Sanc-Min water soluble Mineral Supplement was formulated specifically for us (Ionic Zone) to work in conjunction with the coral calcium minerals that can be found in out "good water".   In other words, our water mineral supplement adds a wide range of essential minerals to the water,  not just one or two, and it will not change the taste!  When used with our "Good Water Protocol", our water mineral supplements create toxin, chemical, and bacteria free water that hydrates like no other water on earth!
