Frequently asked questions

Yes. Life Minerals is fulvic in solution, rich in naturally occurring minerals drawn from deposits of humic shale and clay. Those deposits formed from plant matter laid down more than 65 million years ago, and they contain over 70 different minerals and trace elements.

Organic certification is not available for mineral products, so no mineral supplement can carry it. Laboratory testing of Life Minerals confirms the presence of amino acids, colloidal carbon, colloidal iron, and high quantities of fulvic and humic acids.

Yes. Plant-origin fulvic minerals must contain trace amino acids, and laboratory testing has confirmed these in Life Minerals, along with carbon, iron and at least 60 trace minerals.

We use a cold water, heap leaching process that mimics the natural process producing spring water. Only purified water is used to draw the minerals out of the source material, so there is no proprietary chemistry to protect. What cannot be duplicated is the source deposit itself.

They differ in composition and molecular weight. Fulvic acids are a lightweight form of humic acid with a notably high oxygen content, which is why they stay in solution so readily. Life Minerals contains both fulvic and humic acids.

Life Minerals are a proprietary blend of Humic/Fulvic Acid and Grape Juice Extract, with each 15ml serving giving a minimum of 2,700mg of Humic/Fulvic Acid — comparably more than other supplements of this type. A smaller bottle but a lot stronger blend means Life Minerals is great value for money in comparison.

All minerals carry an electrical charge, which is what ionic refers to. Colloidal describes minerals held in groups, suspended in a liquid rather than dissolved or compressed into a tablet. In Life Minerals they stay suspended as very fine particles, so there is no tablet to break down, and no binder, coating or filler.

We suggest adults take 15ml in a glass of water once daily. For children, 5ml twice daily with food. Do not exceed the stated dose. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical supervision, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before use.

Whenever suits your routine, as long as it is consistent. Many people take it just before, during or after a meal, morning or evening.

Life Minerals is a food supplement, not a medicine, and we are not permitted to claim that it treats, prevents or cures anything. It is intended to complement a varied and balanced diet rather than replace one. As with any supplement, take it consistently and give it time.

It is best kept refrigerated after opening, though not essential. Some people prefer the taste cold.

Life Minerals draws its trace minerals from ancient plant deposits rather than from salt lakes or mined mineral salts. That is the difference in the source material, and it is why the mineral profile is as broad as it is.
