Our trace minerals contain over 70+ minerals including fulvic acid. Fulvic acid is a plant derived organic matter that comes from the earth. Fulvic molecules carry 60 times their weight in nutrients and oxygen. They reduce surface tension of cells in your body allowing for the passage of nutrients into the cells. Fulvic acids like these are what gives fruits and vegetables their nutrient density. They can remineralize water and replace or replenish missing trace minerals in our food. Our trace minerals are derived from shale deposits formed millions of years ago through a process of decomposing historic plant life. These deposits are extracted from a unique shale site located in the United States. Purified water is used to extract the minerals and chemicals are never used in this process. Please note that the droppers on our Trace Minerals will not have a plastic exterior seal like our other drops due to the fact that they are tamper evident caps.
