Question 1

What is the total number of minerals in the product?  The label lists 15.  Are there more?

Accepted Answer

I have contacted the manufacturer and they say it have more than what is listed in the label. Here is their answer:

Thank you for your inquiry. There would be approximately 72 naturally occurring trace minerals in this product (Colloidal Minerals) however, we only analyzed for the presence of the 15 listed.  Since we do not analyze for all 72, we do not list on our label. The amount of each mineral can vary from batch to batch as these are naturally occurring.  We do not add any so we cannot guarantee any particular potency.

Question 2

What are the ingredients?   any preservatives?

Accepted Answer

D, there are two preservatives. Potassium Benzoate & potassium sorbate are added and listed as a preservative.In the 90's, there was a lot of product going bad. Soaring Eagle was one of the first products that I knew of from the T. J. Clark mine or as a popular product from this shale deposit in Utah. I remember getting a bottle that was swollen like it was going to burst. I started selling another brand that had no preservatives but it was so hot of an item that it sold as quickly as you could get it.With time, people have forgotten about this supplement. NOW, makes the best I have found but I did see another product at GNC. I can not find out if it is from the Utah shale deposit so I stick to the NOW brand.I don't like the idea of salt added but shelf life is a must these days since this type of product is not known of by as many people like it was in the 90's and 80's. Sea Silver was an Atlantic Ocean colloidal mineral product and I started with this one in the mid 80's. Until I find another brand with no preservatives, I will stick with NOW brand. As far as the ingredients, Fulvic Acid & citric acid are added. The minerals are derived by purified water that leaches the shale nutrients and then it is filtered. You can not filter out the minerals because of the small particle size.Colloidal refers to the small particle size of the mineral elements that is naturally occurring in the plant matter we consume. Any mineral element larger than colloidal will clog your Gall Bladder and eventually clog your kidneys and liver. So..... mineral pills should be considered extremely dangerous in my opinion.Another source for colloidal minerals that has no preservatives is Lake Klamath Blue Green Algae. This source has a lot of B Vitamins and especially b-12, which older people have a hard time absorbing except in injections. The minerals are not as abundant as the Utah colloidal solution but they are there in a pristine state. The b-12 is a plus for aging people. This B-12 can be utilized by a person with an older body and you will notice your hair being more healthy after using this supplement for several months.

Question 3

Does this product taste good

Accepted Answer

I put it in orange juice, and then I don't taste it.  When I tried it in water it did not taste good.  My friend uses the flavored product, and it tastes good by itself.

Question 4

Are the minerals plant derived or other?

Accepted Answer

If you look at the bottle it says on the front plant derived. and you can click on the bottle pic and read everything about it.
