What are ionic minerals?
Ions are particles (either an atom or group of atoms) that carry an electrical charge. Positively charged ions are called cations (e.g., calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium) and negatively charged ions are referred to as anions (e.g., bicarbonate, chloride, phosphate). Every body process is dependant on ions. The fluids of the body are largely ionic solutions. The body uses the movement of ions through these fluids and across cell membranes as an integral part of many vital body processes. There is a great deal of evidence that the healthy function of the body is based on electrical impulses. That is, our bodies use electrical impulse pathways, and electrolytes and ions are the conductors of these currents that keep everything running smoothly in the body. Ions provide the necessary charge of both positive and negative molecules that keep the electrical component of the human battery “charged” and working in top form. Minerals that are absorbed in their ionic form are in true liquid
