By maintaining low temperatures, the integrity of the natural delicate state of plant derived minerals is maintained. A major advantage of the finished product is that the super highly concentrated plant-derived colloidal material is maintained in its natural state and can be easily hydrated by water to become a colloidal solution. The humic shale is mined in the natural dry state as it has existed for millions of years. It is then ground to smaller aggregates and placed in stainless steel vats, where it is leached slowly. No acids are used.
Negative pressure is applied which makes the concentration more efficient at low temperatures.
Only the water is removed and the solid plant-derived colloidal minerals are all that are present, but in a highly concentrated form. When the leaching is complete, the mother liquor contains 38,000 milligrams of the 7 major minerals and 70 trace minerals per quart of liquid. When dried, the colloidal powder is placed in capsules of 600 mg each so that one capsule is equivalent to one half ounce of liquid, in so far as mineral content is concerned. This unique method makes it possible to have a dry product that can be made into capsules containing high quality plant-derived colloidal minerals just as they were in their natural state. When swallowed with water, the minerals in Micro-Mins capsules readily return to their liquid colloidal state in the digestive tract and provide all the advantages of the liquid form without the disadvantages.
