Azomite Mineral Powder
Sally Fallon Morell writes “This powdery mineral supplement, containing montmorillonite clay and many other compounds, comes from an ancient seabed. It is an excellent source of silicon, calcium, magnesium and the gamut of trace minerals. Clay also has detoxifying effects as the negatively charged clay particles attract positively charged pathogens and take them out of the body. Technically sold as an anticaking compound and originally available only in 40-pound bags, Azomite is now available in consumer- friendly, economical 2-pound containers. Take a heaping teaspoon mixed with water daily as an insurance of adequate macro- and trace-mineral ingestion in these days of soil depletion through intensive farming. It’s also great as a soil amendment for the garden and compost pile.”
Ingredients
- 8 ounces filtered water
- juice of 1 lemon [preferably organic]
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon Azomite powder
- 2-4 tablespoons of liquid whey
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in an 8-ounce glass.
What about heavy metals in azomite? Is that a concern?
Good question. I’m anxious to know too!
Sally Fallon Morell responded to your inquiry: “I don’t know that they have found heavy metals. They can also use Redmond clay instead of Azomite. . .”
