Re: azomite as a mineral supplement? How to add minerals to your diet?

[Guest guest]

I investigated using azomite and all the sites I found mentioned it for farming

and never found much about food quality so I didnot get a good feeling about it.

I add minerals by cooking a batch of seaweed with carrots and onions every week

or so. Use different seaweeds each time. I track mineral need with pH paper and

iodine.

azomite as a mineral supplement? How to add minerals to your

diet?

Hi all;

Does anyone recommend Azomite as a mineral supplement?

I would like to add a mineral supplement to my diet, but I noticed

that the Azomite element anaylysis sheet from the company's website

has lead listed at 6.2 ppm (parts per

million), although I am not sure what solution strength they measured.

This concerns me, as our tap water regulations restrict lead to below

12 ppb (parts per billion).

I do filter my water by reverse osmosis, to reduce chlorine etc. What

do people use to add minerals safely to their diet?

Thank you,

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much for your reply. I too feel uneasy about using a

fertilizer that lists some unsavory minerals as a dietary supplement.

What seaweeds do you use? I do have kelp and dulce that I try to

remember to take, for their iodine content, as I don't use iodized salt.

I use laver, dulse, arame or hijiki usually. Use a different one each time. They

do have differing ratios of sodium and potassium.

Where do you get such a nice variety of seaweed?

I buy them at our Whole Foods; actually a few I bought at another Whole Foods

near one of my lyme doctors. Here's a website for one of the seaweed companies.
