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 to 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 feel we have found a way to achieve an
even 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.

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. 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.
What is Ozone?
Ozone, with the chemical formula
O3, is comprised of three atoms of oxygen. It is
one of nature’s basic elements. Ozone is produced in
nature when the ultraviolet rays of the sun strike oxygen
molecules in the atmosphere. Ozone can be produced by the
same manner as the sun using a quartz crystal lamp, which
uses a frequency of 180 nanometers. This method for producing
ozone does not produce nitric acid or NOX byproducts. Ozone
is naturally negatively charged which promotes a general feeling
of well being. The Ozone Generator
offered at Nature'sAlternatives.com is a quartz crystal type
ozone machine.
Nature also produces ozone
through the high voltage of lightning. That is why one smells
the clean, fresh smell of ozone after a thunderstorm. Ozone
machines that use high voltage to make ozone are patterned
in this fashion. If ozone is produced with high voltages without
a pure oxygen supply, dangerous nitric acid and NOX gases
can be produced.
Ozone is active oxygen, one
of nature’s very special elements. It is a natural purifier.
Just as nature used ozone to protect life on Earth, we can
use ozone to protect ourselves from microorganisms in water
and air. As we enjoy soft, sparkling, clean water, we can
at the same time enjoy clean, fresh air without perfume cover-up.
Some of the Benefits of
using Ozone:
Your ozone
generator portable purifier will effectively eliminate
odors in your home or business. Because it is portable, you
can take it from room to room and effectively treat either
a single room or your whole house! Larger rooms require a
longer time to ozonate. Ozone kills bacteria, viruses and
smoke in the air eliminating their odors. It is inexpensive
and costs just pennies per day to use. Visit the oxygen section
for more on ozone.
