Natural Factors Whole Earth & Sea, Deep Ocean Minerals, 3.38 oz

I use several drops of this in drinking water out of my water purifier to make my own healthier mineral water. The taste of the water is great, just like you'd expect mineral water to taste like and I trust that I am getting certified minerals from the ocean along with trace minerals that the body needs as well. Note, this is not a powder, it's a liquid. It's way too strong to take by itself, so you should mix it in water or juice. I also like that this comes in a glass bottle as one of the competitors, OmniBlue Ocean Minerals, comes in a plastic bottle.

The good news is, this is a great formula for getting your daily minerals. The other news…this mineral formula is not, cannot…taste good. It is mineral, pure and simple, and minerals don’t taste great. I’ve gotten used to the taste and just add it to water. It can be added to a juice to make it easier to swallow, but that will not camouflage the bottom-of-the-earth taste. I can only describe it as a dry metal sensation. In spite of that, I opt for an external source of minerals, since the food supply, the earth in which our food is grown, is often depleted of minerals. Because the minerals are balanced within the formula, I can be certain of getting the right ratios. This is my third bottle and I am very satisfied with it.

They are a little strong in flavor, but you get used to it.

I don’t know if it works. The label gives levels, but then qualifies by saying that the amounts of each nutrient might vary. ???? Awfully expensive for something that might or might not be in this product. Also tastes horrible. I’ve been taking it though, so maybe I’ll notice something. Or maybe not? So far, not noticing any benefit, but who knows...

It seems to be as it says.

Recovering from major surgery, I see the difference in my health and thinking.

The item is a liquid, not a powder. My bottle arrived crushed, dripping liquid everywhere. As it is improperly labeled, I would not trust anything that is published about it.

This is one of those products that has become a staple in our house!
