Ionic Minerals vs.
Colloidal Minerals
What is the difference
between
Ionic/Water-Soluble 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 Nature'sAlternatives.com for more on ozone.
