Minerals and Trace Elements. The typical analysis set
forth below shows that AZOMITE™ contains
some of every mineral which textbooks list as beneficial. In addition
to these minerals which are recognized as beneficial, AZOMITE™ contains a full suite of trace elements through Molybdenum (excluding
gases on right side of the period table).
Mineralogically, the material can be described as rhyolitic tuff
breccia. Its uniqueness stems from the multitude of trace minerals
found in the deposit. Thus, the trade name, AZOMITE™,
the A to Z Of Minerals Including Trace Elements.
Chemically, AZOMITE™ is a hydrated
sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS) containing other minerals
and trace elements which the national Research Council recognizes
to be essential. HSCAS is listed in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations
(21 CRF 582.2729) as an anticaking agent and is generally recognized
as safe (GRAS) by the FDA.
