What Does The Term Colloidal Actually Mean?
“Colloidal” refers to the size of the particles of a particular substance. In the case of minerals, colloidal particles are of a size that they will neither float or sink in water. Due to their small size the surface area of these minerals is greatly increased, providing a larger area upon which enzyme activity may take place thus increasing breakdown and eventual absorption. Colloids also have further electro-chemical properties that make them unique. Any form of mineral may be reduced to the colloidal size…so it is important to also ensure that the mineral source is organic, yielding a bio-electrical charge. When discussing minerals, the size of the particle, the electrical charge and the pH of the substance must all be considered (a low or acidic pH is best).
