-> Differences between colloidal and ionic minerals

The differences between a “colloidal mineral” and an “ionized mineral”.


Understanding the basics of a colloidal solution compared to an ionic solution is necessary to understanding which will provide better the nutritional value for your bodies healing. A colloidal mixture is minute particles of a substance, (gas, liquid, or solid) that are suspended or dispersed throughout another substance, (gas, liquid, or solid). Our ionic minerals are pure mineral in water. In the case of colloidal mineral solutions in water, the particle size of the mineral is usually measured in microns, (one millionth of a meter), an ionized mineral is measured in angstroms, (ten-billionths of a meter). You can see a great difference in size and yes the eye can see a colloidal mineral, pass a beam of light into a colloidal mineral and see the particles floating around. This size difference of a colloidal mineral make them not readily available for absorption at the cell level. Ionic minerals proper size do make them readily available for absorption at the cellular level just as water and is the key to utilization, storage, and distribution of the mineral in the body and within each cell.


Here are three reasons for ionic over colloidal:

1. 100% Bio-availability: Most nutritional products are absorbed at a rate of 5-20%, so 80-95% of your intake is excreted, (80-95 cents of your dollar just went down the toilet). Ionic minerals are 100% bio-available, meaning right out of the bottle these minerals are cell ready and require no digestion. These minerals begin absorption the second they contact the tissue of the body.

2. No Toxicity or Storing in the cells: Because of the absorption factor of ionic minerals there is no need for storage by the body, it uses what it needs and excretes the rest. Colloidal minerals, because of its lack of absorption, are still needed in the body causing the body to store in the tissues, (hoping to be able to use the mineral in the future), which will have to be chelated out.

3. Good In / Bad Out: Your body is absolutely intelligent about its functions. It knows which substances/minerals are good and which ones are harmful. It also knows the difference between substances that are slightly helpful compared to those that are extremely helpful. The body can differentiate by degree and priority, if the extremely good nutrients aren’t coming in through diet and nutritional intake but a mediocre or poor one is, the body will substitute as best as it can. This can cause damage, toxicity, and weakness in cells and tissues. When you replace your intake with exceptional nutrients, the body can then release the substitutes and replace them with the better components. If the body is getting what it needs the healing will happen naturally.
