Colloidal Minerals

There is no credible evidence to support claims that Colloidal Minerals are effective in the prevention and treatment of arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, immune disorders, or any disease condition. Safety data is also lacking on most of them. Some have been found to contain varying levels of aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury among other substances.

Nursing mothers and women who are pregnant should avoid Colloidal Mineral supplementation. Individuals with hemochromatosis or any condition of iron overload should avoid Colloidal Mineral supplementation. Iron is one of the richest minerals in these supplements. Individuals with hepatolenticular degeneration should avoid Colloidal Mineral supplementation due to the presence of copper in these supplements. Individuals who do use Colloidal Minerals should refrigerate the bottle after opening. Individuals who require mineral supplementation should be aware of the great variability of minerals in these supplements depending on the batch. There aren't any reports of adverse reactions in those taking Colloidal Minerals. Earlier reports of Colloidal Minerals containing radioactivity and unusually high levels of strontium haven't been confirmed. Some earlier preparations contained high levels of aluminum. Some preparations contain potentially toxic minerals but in very small amounts. This website is intended to educate and inform, and should not replace discussions with your doctor.
