Wallach talks about colloidal minerals. What does he mean by that?
Minerals in a raw, inorganic form found in rocks and clay and soil are termed ‘metallic’ minerals. Metallic minerals have next to zero nutritional value. If ingested we can absorb only about 5 to 10% of what is there. In the 1970’s a method of increasing the absorption of metallic minerals was devised. It is called ‘chelation.’ Chelation involves wrapping an enzyme or an amino acid around a metallic mineral. We get about 40% absorption from chelated mineral supplements. The best way for us to get the minerals we need is not by grazing on clay or taking in handfuls of chelated mineral tablets, it is by supplementing with full spectrum, liquid, organic, colloidal minerals. Organic colloidal minerals are minerals directly from plants grown in mineral rich soils. They are 98% absorbable. The minerals we get from food are organic colloidal minerals. The term ‘colloidal’ refers to the particle size. Colloids are extremely small particles. Some colloidal minerals are 700 times smaller than a
