High mineral content dietary supplement
Liquid dietary supplements include vitamins, macro minerals, trace minerals, high Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity (ORAC) compounds, and optionally fulvates. Despite the tendency of minerals in such a liquid mineral and vitamin supplement to precipitate and for the ingredients to quickly degrade, particularly at high ORAC values and low pH, embodiments of the invention stay in solution have a desired shelf life without degrading. In part, this is achieved through the use of the natural preservative Momordica, carefully formulated amounts of the various ingredients, and high-tech processing.
