Mineral Supplementation Anonymous 04/03/15 (Fri) 07:05:08 aea367 No.8

Recently started supplementing with pic related, Concentrace.
I take 40 drops a day in water, 20 drops in a cup of water twice a day. It makes the water taste really good. Kind of creamy, almost "milky", reminiscent of the mouth feel of coconut water.

Any opinions on mineral supplements or deficiencies? I'll try to post some research about this later.

Tap water is not allowed to have more than 0.01 parts per million of arsenic. The Concentrace instructions say to use a total of 40-80 drops per day, so let’s say you use 20 drops in a glass of water. That comes out to right around 0.01 parts per million of arsenic. Uh-oh?

Apart from that though, if you trust Concentrace then I don't see any issue.

I use a supplement with vit a, e, d, k in olive oil (https://squareup.com/market/idealabs-llc/estroban) and a magnesium rub personally (http://www.ancient-minerals.com/).

The best vitamins&minerals to supplement are those hardest to get via diet. For me, that's vitamin E and magnesium. Many supplements have harmful additives and fillers however, so you have be careful what you buy. Some are also dangerous and potentially harmful, but don't expect the manufacturer to tell you that.

I need to look in to iodine supplementation for reasons. Any advice on this? Is it possible to overdo? How to achieve a good level?

Good point on the arsenic. Here's a copy/pasted review from amazon with some information. Although the PPM isn't extremely terrible, any level exposure to arsenic seems like a bad idea. But hopefully the rest of my diet offsets and chelates the arsenic? Not sure if the pros of this product outweigh its cons…. From amazon:
——————————————————–
SO… If you search "Concentrace Analysis Sheet" on Google, you will find the fabled Analysis Sheet that shows the concentration levels of all the ingredients in the product (it's split into two PDFs called "ConcenTrace Analysis 1 - The Mineral Foundation" and "ConcenTrace Analysis Range Sheet 2.pdf - The Mineral Foundation"

I won't report all the values (just look them up), but the most troublesome of them is arsenic, which is present in the product at a concentration of 2.07 ppm. However, we dilute the pure product into water, so this is a higher value than you will actually be drinking. The World Health Organization recommends intake of arsenic at levels no higher than 0.01 ppm. So I did a calculation to determine how dilute the pure product must be to stay under those levels.

For those of you who don't care about the math and just want to see what the safe level of consumption is, please refer to the conclusion.

For you math oriented folk out there, I'm using a basic formula referred to as C1*V1=C2*V2 : (Concentration in one solution)*(Volume of that solution)=(Concentration in a second solution)*(Volume of that solution). You'll see below that I used a final volume of 8 ounces. So this calculation assumes you will be consuming this amount of Concentrace in a standard 8 ounce glass of water.

C1*V1=C2*V2
2.07ppm * (How much can we safely use???) = (0.01ppm) * 8 ounces
How much can we safely use???? = 0.0386 ounces of Concentrace

I then looked up the number of drops in one ounce of water. There is 591.47 drops of water in one ounce. So:

0.0386 ounces * (591.47 drops/ 1 ounce) = 22.85 Drops of Concentrace!

CONCLUSION:
So, per the WHO defined limit of safe levels of Arsenic exposure, one can drink Concentrace at levels NO HIGHER THAN:
22 drops of Concentrace per 8 ounces of water.
or:
96 drops of Concentrace per liter of water.

That multivitamin oil looks like good stuff. Why do you choose magnesium oil instead of ingesting it? just curious.

An iodine deficiency can cause hypothyroidism (rare now), but so can an excess.

A dosage of 150 mcg (micrograms, not milligrams, e.g., ug not mg) is a safe amount of iodine.

Ingestion and topical treatment of magnesium are both viable options, the choice is up to you.
Good ways to supplement magnesium
>topical solution
>magnesium bicarbonate
>magnesium carbonate
>epsom salt bath
You can get too much magnesium though, so don't go popping tons of pills, applying a solution all across your body and then bathing in epsom salts.

Oh and, on the topic of the actual product you're talking about, personally, I wouldn't purchase it.
Trace mineral deficiencies are extremely hard to get, just eat whole foods and you should get everything you need.

/ckfitvegan/ here

the only problem I see with this is that you have no idea where these minerals are coming from, if they are synthetic, or if they are even in a form that your body can absorb.

I get all my vitamins and minerals from my food.

I eat alot of cacao powder, spirulina, dry spinach and alfalfa powder, chia seeds, and many other fresh fruits and vegetables. I also only eat organic so the soil they grow in is in somewhat better conditions, although I'm depressed because I know it could be much better.

just my honest thoughts on the whole thing.

znaturalfoods.com sells seaweeds and you can also try eating more strawberries and other foods with iodine. idoized salt is garbage.

I am Not a doctor. Ask your doctor before doing anything.

thanks friend

here is information about the op source

How do you make ConcenTrace®?

ConcenTrace® isn't actually something we make. It's an amazing complex of over 72 naturally occurring ionic trace minerals that has been made by Mother Nature. For thousands of years, every sprouting seed and towering tree has helped dissolve minerals, raising them from deep within the soil to the surface, where they are easily washed away. But they don't just wash away. They are carried in the rivers and streams into oceans and seas like the Great Salt Lake (GSL) in Utah, USA. But the GSL is unique because it has no outlets and is considered an inland sea. Therefore, the GSL is rich in minerals that have been deposited there over these thousands of years.

well the way they make it seem with their description makes it sound very nice and inviting, yet I have no idea legally in all truth for sure what that exactly translates to.

to be fair, I eat pink himalayan salt which has alot of dissolved minerals that happened in nature over several million years, but do I know for sure if my body absorbs all those minerals or just gets rid of them because of them not being bioavaiable or not?

I would like to think that it is much healthier than normal salt full of other additives, yet I can't be 100% for sure that I'm getting that much extra from it. I'm very hopeful, yet I'm doing it mostly for the flavor and to avoid more human processed salt.

so eh? being fair and honest. that's my sense of it.

Sounds like bullshit
