For those worried about the presence of potentially harmful substances such as Mercury, Lead, Aluminum, Fluoride, and Arsenic please do your research before panicking. This product is natural and all substances in it are naturally occurring. To find a product without the certain substances most likely means you are getting a more processed and synthetic product. Please read below an email I received from Dr. Darrin Starkey re: why those substances are in ConcenTrace mineral drops. "Trace Minerals Research regularly tests for the presence of heavy metals, using Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) testing methods in addition to other standard testing methods. Test results consistently show that the amounts of these elements are well below safety tolerance levels established for food and drug manufacturing. In fact, recent test results released by an independent laboratory, using U.S. EPA approved testing methodologies, affirm that Trace Minerals Research’s mineral products do not contain levels that even approach the EPA’s reference dose for these elements. The recent findings should assure you, as well as our consumers everywhere, that Trace Minerals Research’s products are safe and do not pose any threat of heavy metal toxicity. The product is GRAS affirmed. If you are not familiar with GRAS affirmation, I would recommend educating yourself on it. Our trace minerals are harvested (not manufactured) from the Great Salt Lake, and if you look at the landscape of the Great Salt Lake, you realize very quickly that it is surrounded by mountains. These mountains have various streams and rivers, that naturally runoff into the Great Salt Lake, and with no outlets, the lake becomes a sort of catch basin. As the snowpack melts in the spring, and this runoff makes it's way down the mountains, it picks up minerals from the rocks and soil that then accumulate in the Great Salt Lake. Information that was put together by the Utah Geological Society on the Great Salt Lake actually clarifies how the lake is able to self clean without any outlets. It is important, and interesting, to note this information because while the lake has been concentrating inorganic salts in its waters for thousands of years, the total soluble concentrations of heavy metals are actually low. The information the Utah Geological Society put together states that the heavy metals, including clays, are enabled within the sediments and brines due to anaerobic conditions that then immobilize the metals. At Trace Minerals Research, we take great pride in the quality and purity of our products. Our mineral brines are harvested from our private ponds on the Northwest side of the lake. Once the trace minerals are harvested, each lot of mineral brines undergoes extensive testing by both "in-house" and independent laboratories (as I have already mentioned), to test for impurities and to ensure potency, purity, and balance. Careful handling is a part of our harvesting process which is similar to that of an agricultural operation, and, just as in organic farming, great care is taken to avoid contamination by chemicals. You specifically mentioned a concern about Lead, Mercury, Fluoride, Arsenic, and Aluminum. Again, this is question/concern many people have, and so it is important to understand how trace minerals work to understand why we have trace amounts of these elements in the product. First off, toxicity often occurs when a single element is introduced out of balance with other trace minerals. Man-made by-products are, all too often, the culprits of this because they are found in much higher doses than nature would have them. For instance, mercury contamination of our oceans has created a situation where the fish we consume from the very oceans we have contaminated contain much higher mercury levels than nature would normally have them contain. Most forms of life are not very good at expelling mercury so they tend to accumulate and concentrate mercury that they consume. If plankton consumes sea water over its life, it will tend to accumulate any mercury from the sea water and, thus, the mercury in the plankton will typically be higher than levels that are found in the sea water. When a fish eats the plankton over its life, it tends to accumulate mercury from the plankton and, thus, the fish will typically have higher levels of mercury than the plankton. As this paradigm continues upwards through the food chain, mercury levels tend to increase. The balance of trace minerals has been disrupted, and and as a result, there is now concern over human consumption of fish and the risk of mercury contamination. The amount of Mercury found in 40 drops (1/2 teaspoon) of ConcenTrace is 0.008 parts per million (ppm). To put this into perspective, in a baked potato or a lean grilled chicken breast you get 0.4 ppms, and in a strawberry, you get 0.6 ppms of Mercury. Arsenic is another perfect example of a man-made byproduct that has been linked to toxicity and as a result, most information about arsenic is focused around this concern. But, did you know that some of the richest sources of arsenic in our diets are found in our seeded berries such as strawberries. Most people wouldn't think twice about popping a strawberry in their mouth, and shouldn't, but that is also the amount of arsenic we are talking about in the ConcenTrace. Fluoride does occur naturally, however, the concern over fluoride comes not from the naturally occurring fluoride, but from synthesized versions that are made by man and then added to our drinking water and to toothpaste. On average, we usually consume anywhere from 1.3-1.8 milligrams of fluoride a day from our foods. Fluoride naturally occurs in potatoes, beef, apples, chicken, milk, eggs, and oatmeal to name just a few. The same applies to both Lead and Aluminum as well that are found in our product. Both are naturally occurring trace minerals found in their naturally occurring ionic state, and as such, are in similar amounts to that which is found naturally existing in many of the foods we consume. Understanding how trace minerals work, helps to put into perspective the concerns over toxicity. Again, toxicity occurs when a single element is introduced out of balance with other trace minerals, and, as I said, man-made by-products are, all too often, the reason why we associate certain elements with toxicity. Trace minerals work synergistically with one another to ensure that proper absorption, activation, regulation, and pH balance occurs within the body. An example of this synergistic relationship is that of the one between molybdenum and iron. All the iron in the world will do you no good without molybdenum. Molybdenum performs a very important, but basic, function by mobilizing iron from its storage location in the liver so that it can help blood carry oxygen to cells and tissues. This important, but often overlooked mineral, is vital in sustaining our lives, and only recently was its purpose discovered. Another role of trace minerals is to police each other. When taken in proper balance, trace minerals control one another to ensure that no one element gets out of control and creates a toxic situation within the body. Trace Minerals Research does not manufacture their trace minerals. They are harvested in their naturally occurring state, and as such, also occur in their naturally balanced state. Again, in this state, they help to regulate one another, and create a balanced state within the body.

Great way to stay hydrated! So easy to add to any drink and add no taste

Good buy on sale, does changes taste of reverse osmosis water slightly but in a good way. Would definitely buy again.

Update: they upped the price! Don't do that if you want to keep customers. Real deal good stuff. I have a reverse osmosis system and was feeling light headed. Bought these to add to our water and it helped. My daughter also struggles with sleep and is hard to get to eat veggies. She is 11 and puts 5 drops in her water before bed. She has been sleeping better!! ♡

This is best electrolyte supplement I’ve found. No sugar, no fruity taste. With an ice cube in the water, no taste at all. With exercise (stretching) 4-5 times a week, no more leg cramps. No more dehydration. No more leg cramp pills. No more waking at night. Wish I’d found Trace sooner.

Switching to a liquid formula has completely transformed my morning routine. I noticed a significant boost in my energy levels almost immediately, likely because the absorption feels so much more efficient than traditional pills. The taste is surprisingly pleasant, making it easy to stay consistent, and I love the peace of mind that comes with getting a comprehensive blend of essential nutrients in one simple dose. It is a fantastic option for anyone looking to support their overall wellness without the hassle of swallowing oversized capsules.

This is a product that I also once purchased through Whole Foods, so not my first use. I find that 10 drops in water in the am, is a good way to start my daily hydration goal, and overall, I feel like I sleep better with use of this product ( maybe it’s the magnesium?) Some will increase their dose but I stay at the 10 drops daily, & find it’s especially helpful when I’m working a lot or incorporating more exercise into my day.

The trace minerals were delivered on time in an attractive bottle. They're easy to take - simply by lightly squeezing 10-16 drops into a morning beverage. The first day I tried the trace minerals in a small glass of water and found the taste was quite bitter. The following I had my droplets of the minerals in my morning cup of ginger and cider vinegar tea, and the taste was indistinguishable from the taste of ginger and cider vinegar. I've been taking them for about 3 months now and can feel the benefits. My immune system seems strong - no colds or flu throughout the cold weather.

「眠ること」について悩みを持っていましたが何をどうすればいいかわからずにいました。 たまたま日本人はミネラルバランスが悪いというようなことを聞き、数点試してこの商品に辿り着きました。 最初は1日30滴くらいを飲み物や味噌汁などに入れて取っていました。 そうしたら何度も夜中に目が覚めることが減って来たと感じました。 あくまでも個人的感想ですが、ミネラル自体取ることはいいと思うので試してみることはお勧めします。

I am not a regular use of the product, but whenever i take them regularly, say for 1 two weeks or so, i feel better and more energetic. It has sour bitter taste and when you drop them in water, they normally precipitate at the bottom, mom doesn't like the taste of it, not easily dissolving, you can tilt them up but again precipitate for slow drinkers. she is bed ridden and she spat them out - i have to somehow make her drink it, i think it will work for her as it works for me.

Ok

Las probé por curiosidad y hoy se convierten en parte esencial de mi día. Las recomiendo mucho sobre todo porque el agua bebible aquí en México es de ósmosis y no hidrata :/
