What is Anderson’s Concentrated Mineral Drops?
Anderson’s Concentrated Mineral Drops is an all-natural, very low sodium, full-spectrum mineral concentrate from Utah’s Great Salt Lake concentrated, harvested, and manufactured by the Anderson family, the original harvesters and inventors of mineral supplements originating from Utah’s Great Salt Lake.

Anderson’s is a concentrated, liquid mineral dietary supplement designed to be taken daily to replenish minerals to support health and well being.* Compare Anderson’s to other mineral and trace mineral supplements in the marketplace, and you’ll find that Anderson’s is the premium choice! 

How Does Anderson’s Work?
Anderson’s is designed to be taken daily. It  is formulated to supplement your body with magnesium, an essential mineral, plus a balance of naturally occurring sea-source minerals found in trace and ultra-trace amounts.

You may use Anderson’s as a companion to your supplementation regimen (many multivitamins don’t provide adequate amounts of minerals or trace minerals), to support pH balance*, or if you just want to make sure you’re receiving enough minerals every day.

Anderson’s is very low in sodium and is ideal for those watching their sodium intake or who may be following a sodium-restricted diet.

What are minerals, especially ionic minerals, and why do I need them?
Minerals are naturally occurring elements that have a characteristic chemical composition and crystalline structure. Minerals are needed by the body and perform a number of critical, vital functions. Most of us are well aware of the functions of calcium, an essential mineral, and how calcium influences bone health. But many other minerals are essential, too, and perform a wide range of crucial biological functions. Magnesium, for instance, is an essential mineral that is involved in more than 300 metabolic reactions.* It helps regulate vascular tone, assists in energy production (the production of cellular energy), maintains the electrical stability of cells, and plays an important role in maintaining bone mineral content.*

Some of the most essential minerals and trace minerals have shown a dependency upon being ionic in order to be absorbed in the intestinal lumen and/ or to be physiologically valid.

Through digestive processes, some of which are dependent upon sufficient stomach acid, the body is able to break down some other forms of organic or inorganic bound minerals and trace minerals to their ionic form so they can be absorbed. Minerals and trace minerals are capable of remaining in a free flowing, non-bound ionic form in a balanced solution.

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. For example, ions regulate acid-base balance and water balance.* Ions also serve essential roles in nerve conduction, muscle contraction, heart action, blood clotting, protein metabolism, bone and tooth formation, and enzyme activation.* In fact, every body process is dependant on ions.

What are trace minerals, and why are they important?
Micro or trace minerals are those minerals that the body requires less than 100 milligrams of per day. Trace minerals include chromium, cobalt, copper, fluoride, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, silicon, tin, vanadium, and zinc. Trace minerals are involved in numerous, yet crucial enzyme reactions in the body.

How Do I Take Anderson’s ?
Anderson’s is a liquid, so it’s designed to be added to beverages and food and consumed either throughout the day or you can take the suggested amount one time daily.

Anderson’s features a glass pipette dropper tip with printed, incremental measurements, so it’s easy to quickly measure the desired dose and add it to any beverage and/or food. No more counting drops!

Anderson’s makes lifestyle dosing™easy. It’s no longer necessary to swallow a large dose of an unpleasant-tasting mineral supplement. With Anderson’s, you can add it to your morning coffee or juice. You can also spread your consumption of Anderson’s throughout the day to juices, ades, teas, sodas, or any beverage your normally consume. You can also add Anderson’s to recipes and ready-to-eat foods to ensure you’re getting the critical minerals your body needs. Anderson’s enhances the flavor of many foods and beverages and by spreading consumption throughout the day, you increase the potential for mineral absorption and retention while reducing a laxative effect that can be commonly associated with taking large doses of minerals.

Why Should I Choose Anderson’s?
Anderson’s is manufactured by the Mineral Resources International, Inc., owned and operated by the Anderson family, who invented mineral supplements using minerals harvested from Utah’s Great Salt Lake. 

Anderson’s is produced through the Anderson’s family traditional, all-natural, solar-evaporation process at the family’s private mineral harvesting operation located on Utah’s Great Salt Lake. Anderson’s does NOT contain artificial colors, ingredients, or preservatives. It is a nearly two-year endeavor to carefully craft and shape the minerals. Anderson’s is the natural choice in mineral supplementation!

The ionic minerals in Anderson’s are GRAS meaning they’ve received the Generally Recognized as Safe designation. Furthermore, Anderson’s is assayed for purity and potency by MRI’s in-house QA lab and independent lab.

Furthermore, Anderson’s passes the U.S. Food Chemicals Codex’s heavy metals safety test™ and is Kosher-certified. Anderson’s is the liquid mineral supplement you can feel safe using every day.

Is Anderson’s Right for Me?
As with any dietary supplement, you should check with your physician first, and you should always inform your doctor of the supplements you are taking.

Anderson’s is a rich source of magnesium, and magnesium is contraindicated in people with renal failure, high-grade atrioventricular (AV) blocks, myasthenia gravis, or who may be sensitive to a magnesium-containing supplement.
