Re: Trace Minerals

What do you think of these trace minerals that absorb in the mouth.

They seem to not understand the definition of what a mineral is.  For example they list argon, which is a noble gas, as a mineral.  The halogens bromine and fluorine are not minerals either.  And some of the compounds they list such as beryllium are highly toxic.

I am also leery of many of the trace mineral products because of the source of the minerals.  Most of them come from the Utah shale deposits, which are very high in aluminum.  They do not state the source of their minerals though so it is impossible to say what it really in the product that is not being listed.

Also what exactly is Short Chain Fatty Acid?

In laymen's terms as to the subject these are simple beneficial fatty acids such as acetic acid and butyric acid that are byproducts of the fermentation of fibers by the intestinal flora.  These acids help to control Candida, kill pathogens and increase the intestinal absorption of minerals and some vitamins.
