What is the difference between colloidal minerals and ionized minerals?
Colloidal refers to a particle size of around one micron that these minerals come in. Ionized refers to having an electrical charge, which is unrelated to particle size. Ionic minerals as they occur in crystal salt are one angstrom in particle size. An angstrom is one million times smaller than a micron which is the particle size of colloidal minerals. Therefore minerals in crystal salt are more absorbable and usable than colloidal minerals, since the body does not have to break them down into smaller particles.
