This
test determines how quickly or slowly mineral elements will
be digested and taken into the blood stream. With most people,
if not digested in 36 hours, minerals have passed out of the
digestive tract. Also, with many kinds of illnesses there
is no gastric acid in the stomach, which makes water solubility
even more important for a mineral deficient individual.

the best mineral supplement is very important. If not, hoped
