ConcenTrace® originates from the isolated waters
of the north arm of the Great Salt Lake, Utah, USA.
The Great Salt Lake itself covers some 6,000 square
kilometres and represents a terminal collection of
the rivers and streams. This drainage system covers
an area of 90,000 square kilometres of the Rocky Mountains.
The rocks and soils that comprise the drainage basin
represent all the major lithologies - igneous, metamorphic
and sedimentary - and cover the entire time span of
the Geological Record - from Pre Cambrian to Recent.
Consequently the waters of the Great Salt Lake contain
within them - rather like the Sea itself - in a dissolved
ionic form, all the elements present in the Periodic
Table
To obtain ConcenTrace® the brine of the Great Salt
Lake is concentrated further in evaporation ponds
to dramatically increase the concentration of dissolved
elements. As a result of exposure to the natural elements
of the sun, wind, rain and frost, 98% of the water
originally placed into the ponds is evaporated and
99.5% of the Sodium Chloride is removed via natural
precipitation as the water becomes a super saturated
solution.
ConcenTrace®, then, is a highly saturated, ionic,
brine solution. It is a homogenous ''true solution''
with all particles in their dissolved ionic state
having radii between 27 (BE2+) and 220 (I-) picometers.
It contains 78, and possibly more, naturally occurring
elements in a saline and charge balanced form.
The ConcenTrace® Analysis Summary sheets list the
minerals present in order of concentration, their
average concentration in ppm and the actual ranges
found during analytical testing. It should be noted,
however, that the mean of the ranges does not necessarily
correlate with the actual average of all the test
values. We have committed an extensive amount of resources
to find and utilise the world's foremost analytical
laboratories in order to determine and validate the
composition of ConcenTrace®.
Analytical methods include: Ion Chromatography, Cold
Vapour Atomic Absorption, Graphite Furnace Atomic
Absorption, Atomic Absorption, Titration, Induced
Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry, Induced
Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer, Flame Photometer,
and Specific Ion Electrodes.
Seasonal variation contributes somewhat to the broadness
of the ranges given, but more significant than this
is the variation experienced between laboratories.
The later variation is due to interferences caused
by the complexity of the brine solution and also differences
in methodology of the analytical protocol. Therefore,
we are open to results of future analytical work and
retain the right to change and refine this document
without notice. The information presented has been
reviewed and approved by a team of professors from
Weber State University, Utah, USA.
Contaminants
We test our ponds regularly for a broad spectrum of
contaminants, including tests during every major harvest
period. Contaminant tests include organic and petroleum
chemicals, agricultural chemicals and pesticides,
and heavy metals. Heavy metals testing also provides
some data on additional trace elements.
ConcenTrace® offers in 30 drops the mineral content
equivalent of 95ml of sea water with 99.5% of the
sodium removed. This product was specifically designed
to contain a minimal amount of sodium. Most Europeans
have an unnaturally large intake of sodium, of which
only 5% comes naturally in the foods we eat. It has
been estimated that most people consume twice as much
sodium as potassium, while an ideal diet should consist
of 5 times more potassium than sodium.
Indications for use
This product is intended to be a comprehensive mineral
and electrolyte supplement, that can be confidently
used as a complement to all alternative/complementary
therapies to provide a complete, full spectrum trace
mineral support.
Mineral Nutrient Electrolyte
Replacement
Formulation
ConcenTrace® offers the versatility of an electrolyte
replacement drink, while nourishing the body with
a complete blend of essential minerals. The body is
constantly working to stay in a state of balance.
This product helps you take a step in that direction.
ConcenTrace® also provides the appropriate physiological
balance of trace minerals that your body needs.
Potassium, sodium and chloride are all considered
electrolytes. They function in the maintenance and
distribution of water within the body. In addition,
they serve the role of controlling acid-base balance,
heart contractility, kidney and adrenal function,
and vital neuromuscular activity.
As a guide, a daily supplement per person would
be one drop per 2.7 kilograms (6 pounds) of body weight
per day. Ideally this would be best taken in three
equal amounts during the day i.e. before breakfast,
lunch and evening meal. However, twice a day would
suffice and having a convenient, handy bottle of 28ml
would allow 5 drops to be taken 5 to 6 times a day
with an ever present glass of water. It would be appropriate
to err on the side of caution for someone with M.E.
type symptoms, as you can provide too much too soon;
1 or 2 drops two to three times a day would be appropriate
to begin with: gradually increasing the number of
drops as the person concerned feels is appropriate.
Due to its 'salty' taste it is best taken either as
a few drops (4 or 5) taken regularly during the day
with a glass of water or in a larger amount with a
fruit juice or herbal tea to taste.
