Trace minerals are essential for bodily processes and can be obtained through food or supplements. Liquid colloidal trace elements are easier to digest and should contain a variety of minerals. The source, size, and electrolyte base of the minerals are important considerations. A weak taste may indicate low mineral levels, while agglomeration decreases bioavailability.
Trace minerals are those of which the body requires only a relatively small amount. Liquid colloidal trace elements are prepared in a form that holds the mineral particles together and makes them easier to digest. Considering the source and size of the minerals, the type of slurry that contains the minerals, and the amount of mineral stock found on the market is important when selecting a high-quality product.
Minerals are inorganic substances that are formed by processes in nature. They are essential for maintaining general health, as well as a number of specific bodily processes, such as bone and tooth growth and the proper level of hormones. Macro minerals are required in greater amounts than trace minerals. The body requires less trace minerals than macro minerals to function well.
The human body cannot produce minerals, so they must be obtained through food or supplements. There are several dozen trace minerals, and a quality product will contain many of them. Some of the commonly known trace elements are iron, boron, chromium, and magnesium. Colloidal minerals are usually ground up from shale or found in plants, then placed in water and allowed to mix to form a colloid, which is simply a substance that has been dispersed evenly through another substance.
Many manufacturers provide electrolytes in their liquid suspensions which affect the bioavailability of the mineral supplement. Ionic suspensions are marketed as readily absorbable by the body and are therefore a common choice among manufacturers. Some use purified ocean water to provide a stable electrolyte base for the minerals.
The source and size of the particles is also a key consideration when choosing liquid colloidal trace minerals. A good rule of thumb is to find a particle nanometer size of less than ten. This nanometer size along with a “taste test” is important. A liquid colloidal trace mineral product with a weak taste indicates a concentration that is probably too low and mineral levels too low. The taste factor helps the consumer understand the parts per million indications on the label. If you can’t taste the minerals when trying the mineral supplement, then you may want to look into a better one.
However, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Agglomeration occurs when particles in a colloidal trace mineral product stick together and settle to the bottom of a bottle. Agglomerated products have little nutritional value and decrease their bioavailability. If a silver solution is used for the suspension of colloidal trace minerals, agglomeration may be caused by exposing the bottle to light. Exposure to light breaks down the silver solution, rendering it ineffective.
