MINERALS FOR LIFE
✅ 1. Importance of Trace Minerals
Trace minerals (also called microminerals) include iron, zinc, copper, selenium, iodine, manganese, molybdenum, chromium, and others. They play critical roles such as:
Enzyme activation – Many enzymes can't function without trace minerals.
Hormone production – E.g., iodine is essential for thyroid hormone.
Immune function – Zinc and selenium are crucial for immune health.
Oxygen transport – Iron is a key component of hemoglobin.
Antioxidant defense – Selenium and copper are part of antioxidant systems.
Even though they're needed in micrograms to milligrams per day, deficiency or excess can cause serious health problems.

✅ 2. Best Molecule Size for Absorption
When it comes to absorption, the body absorbs minerals in ionic or very small particle form.
Ionic form (dissolved, charged atoms) is highly bioavailable.
Colloidal minerals (suspended particles) vary in size and are often less efficiently absorbed.
Chelated minerals (bound to amino acids or organic molecules) are well absorbed by the gut.
For intestinal absorption, smaller is better — especially:
Less than 1 nanometer (nm) or ionic forms (individual atoms with a charge) are ideal.
The body doesn’t absorb large particles (micron-size) efficiently.
✅ 3. Sublingual (under the tongue) Absorption
The sublingual route bypasses digestion and liver metabolism, allowing direct entry to the bloodstream.
Only small, soluble molecules (generally below 500 daltons in molecular weight) are absorbed efficiently under the tongue.
Ionic trace minerals in liquid form are best suited for sublingual absorption.
Nano-sized particles or ionic solutions can potentially absorb this way, although the majority of mineral absorption still occurs in the intestine.
Examples of sublingually absorbable forms:
Ionic mineral drops
Homeopathic remedies (often in nanogram or microgram ranges)
Liposomal formulations (enclosed in tiny fat-based vesicles)
🧠 Summary:
Topic Key Info
Why Important?
Essential for enzymes, hormones, immunity, and oxygen transport
Best Size for Absorption
Ionic or <1 nm for maximum absorption
Sublingual Absorption
Requires molecules <500 daltons; ionic/nano-sized liquids are best
If you're considering supplementation, liquid ionic trace mineral supplements are among the most absorbable — some brands also offer nano-sized or liposomal forms designed for enhanced uptake, including sublingual delivery.
· An angstrom (Å) is a unit of length:
1 angstrom = 0.1 nanometers (nm) = 0.0000000001 meters
· Angstrom-sized minerals are minerals that have been processed into extremely small ionic particles — typically less than 1 nanometer in size.
· These are smaller than colloidal minerals, which are typically 1–100 nanometers, and small enough to be truly dissolved in water rather than suspended.
The smaller the particle, the easier it is for your body to absorb it.
Mineral Type - Typical Size - Absorption Notes
Colloidal
1–100 nm
Suspended, not fully dissolved; variable absorption
Ionic
<1 nm (often angstrom-sized)
Fully dissolved, highly absorbable
Angstrom
~0.1 nm
Extremely bioavailable; easily passes through cell membranes
Because angstrom minerals are already in ionic form and fully dissolved, they don’t need to be broken down by the digestive system. This allows:
· Direct absorption through mucous membranes (like under the tongue)
· Faster cellular uptake
· Potential bypass of the gut, making them helpful for those with digestive issues
Angstrom-sized minerals are ideal for sublingual (under the tongue) use because:
· They’re small enough to pass directly into the bloodstream
· They avoid breakdown by stomach acid or interference from other nutrients
· Effects may be felt faster due to direct entry into circulation
· Quality matters: Not all products labeled “angstrom” are truly angstrom-sized. Look for third-party lab testingor transparent sourcing.
· Potency is low per dose (often measured in parts per million), but bioavailability is high — so you need less.
· Not for everyone: Always check with a healthcare provider if you have kidney issues, heavy metal sensitivities, or take medications.

Why Mother Earth Minerals™ Are Superior
by A. True Ott, PhD
To answer the question, “What makes Mother Earth Minerals superior to other water-soluble mineral supplements on the market?” We must first understand exactly how individual minerals function at the cellular level, and why they are essential to health and vitality.
Every atom in the Universe has a frequency. This is proven by the science of Physics. Whether it’s a grain of sand, a piece of steel, a plant, animal or an organ cell in your body, each cell resonates, or vibrates, at a specific frequency or oscillation. Your body consists of a variety of atoms, which in turn contain a variety of photons and electrons that exhibit and generate an overall bio-electric energy that runs through all cells. That frequency of life energy, incidentally, is the harmonic base frequency of 728.
The way you take care of your body physically, emotionally and mentally determines how many negative frequencies or toxins are being built up in your individual cells and tissues. There are four general ways imbalance (i.e. disease) in the body is created. 1. Through toxic substances we eat, 2. Chemical and biological pollution we breathe in the air and in the liquid we drink, 3. Exposure to negative energetic environments, 4. How we process information in our thinking and feeling.
My doctoral dissertation study quantified, graphed, and measured the individual resonant frequency of 21 essential minerals. These mineral frequencies in turn provide the cell with the raw building blocks to produce living enzymes. Minerals are “co-enzyme factors”. These enzymes in turn are then the building blocks for hormones which in turn regulate all bodily functions, ultimately. That is exactly why Dr. Linus Pauling declared so forcefully: “You can trace EVERY Disease, EVERY Illness, and EVERY Condition to a basic mineral deficiency.” This two-time Nobel Laureate was absolutely correct!
So with these basic facts understood, what makes Mother Earth Minerals superior? The first difference is in the WATER medium in which we place the minerals themselves. We use ONLY medicinal-grade steam-distilled water with less than .3 PPM of totally dissolved solids (TDS) measured. Water has memory. It’s not good enough to simply filter contaminants from the water through the process of Reverse Osmosis or Deionization. Not only does 1-3 PPM of contaminants remain after a typical R.O. process, but the treated water actually retains the “frequency” of the toxins that were removed. The same is true of Deionization. It is therefore highly counterproductive to add individual minerals to base water that is remains contaminated with harmful residue frequencies. It must be understood that the potency and effectiveness of any water-soluble mineral is only as good as the water the mineral is placed in. Steam distillation effectively “rebirths” the water molecule, freeing it of all prior frequencies. It is the closest replication we have to the natural water cycle.
Secondly, we also utilize the highest possible purity in the minerals themselves. Our mineral elements are certified by independent labs to be 99.9% pure. We simply place extremely pure elements in the purest water possible. We do not harvest our supplements from the Great Salt Lake. Regardless of promotional hype to the contrary, Great Salt Lake water is loaded with toxic contaminants – and leaching does not remove them, it only concentrates them.
Third, once our minerals solutes are produced, we employ a proprietary process called “redoxing” before the product is bottled for final sale. This is a process of electromagnetic enhancement of the biophoton/electron base of the solute. In simplistic terms, the process basically adds biophotons and electrons to the water and mineral atomic structure. This increases the mineral’s effectiveness and bio-availability a hundredfold.
Finally, in its finished state, the supplement mineral needs to enter the bloodstream as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Recent studies have shown that most Americans have consumed an overabundance of “anti-nutrients” from grain, and soy primarily. These anti-nutrients accumulate in the G.I. tract – and block the absorption of minerals in the food that is consumed. Therefore, it is preferable to bypass the G.I. tract as much as possible. Mother Earth Minerals are designed to be taken sublingually (under the tongue). They quickly and efficiently enter the bloodstream to begin their healing journey.
In conclusion, Mother Earth Minerals are of the highest quality on the market today. Proprietary and time tested manufacturing processes mean a more effective product, where quality over quantity is where value is found.
We cordially invite you to give them a try, and then share the knowledge with your friends and neighbors.
