By the sounds of it, Woody was having problems making his students understand this concept. Interested, I probed him further. You have to make minerals act like sugar or salt, which dissolve easily and quickly in water. As it turned out, Woody had actually developed a process that would make the absorption of minerals easier for the body, it was called Chelation.
Chelation means to combine a mineral with something else.
It's this other ingredient that helps the body absorb these rocks. And even then you can't be sure whether you're absorbing anything at all. If you do ingest these minerals and your body doesn't absorb them, their are possibilities of constipation or irritation. Yet, we need these minerals for good health. At Nutri-Chem, all of our minerals are chelated.
