I recommend taking a trace mineral supplement at least 4 times a week to avoid having health issues. Of course, always eat a diet rich in trace minerals, and drink mineral or spring water every day. Just look at what you can avoid by making sure you are not deficient in Nature’s trace minerals.
Hey, one or two ounces a day, might keep the doctor away….

Hair Mineral Testing
I highly recommend having a hair analysis done to show your levels of the essential trace minerals. Why guess what levels might be too low? Once you know what your essential nutrient and trace mineral levels are, then you can design your daily diet appropriately, and buy the right kind of mineral supplements.
Ah, knowledge is such a powerful thing …..
