In order for the human body to effectively tap into its energy reserves, an ample supply of minerals must be present. Colloidal minerals differ from metallic minerals in that they are highly absorbable, water-soluble and enzymatically active. Many of these vitamins work closely with the vitamins in our diet. Without a complete and balanced profile of essential and trace minerals, our body becomes less able to benefit from other nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats and antioxidants. Improved Colloidal Minerals are derived from prehistoric fruit, vegetable and plant sources. This pleasant tasting liquid contains over 40 colloidal trace minerals, carefully micron-filtered to reduce or eliminate the presence of harmful heavy metals.*
