What is the difference between
"In Suspension"and "In Solution"?
If you don't know, then you could
be harming your health!
Suspensions, colloids (colloidal) and solutions are all different kinds of "mixtures" comprising of at least two components, generally a solid and a liquid. The difference lies in the SIZE of the particles.
IN SOLUTION!
(Per: Active Liquid Minerals)
Solutions are mixtures with particle sizes at the Molecule or Ion level. The particles have dimensions between 0.1 to 2 nanometers. This dimension goes down right to the atomic (molecular) scale: (millionths of a millimeter.)
The minerals in Active Liquid Minerals are ‘In Solution’. We extract the minerals using purified water (just like making a cup of tea) and the minerals REMAIN ‘In Solution’...you NEVER have to ‘shake the bottle’!
Typically solutions are transparent. Light can usually pass through the solution. If the solution is able to absorb visible light then the solution will have a color and the mixture of particles CANNOT be separated by filtration.
IN SUSPENSION!
Simply put, a suspension is a liquid with something in it that will float around for a while but will eventfully settle to the bottom. e.g. Muddy water…after a time the solids will eventfully drop out of the water to form mud.
Suspensions are mixtures with particles that have sizes greater than 1000 nanometers.
The solids in colloidal suspensions are ground down to a size of about 1/1000 millimeter or less, so that motion and other forces usually keep the particles aloft. The solid particles of a SUSPENSION are so coarse that they settle to the bottom of the container when stirring or movement stops.
Yet even in a colloid, there are still identifiable chunks of matter present, though "visible" only under the electron microscope or indirectly by light scattering. Suspensions tend to be "murky" or "opaque". They do not transmit light. The mixture of particles can be separated by filtration and SEPARATE on standing.
A typical 'giveaway for a product that is "In Suspension" is the label that says "Shake The Bottle Before Use". Generally, this means that your so-called ‘colloidal minerals’ are ground down ‘lignite’ coal (named ‘trash coal’ because it has little worth) that has been turned white with rice in a ‘’spray drying machine’.
Because coal has become ‘carbonized’, the only way to extract the minerals is to use ACID. This concoction then miraculously becomes natural ‘ionic’ minerals and they want you pay them money to drink it?
When atoms gain or lose electrons, the atom becomes an ‘ion’. When an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion that we call an anion. Anions are larger in size than their parent atoms because they have one or more additional electrons.
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. Cations are smaller than their parent atoms because they have lost electrons and the electrons that remain behind simply don't take up as much room.
Ion particles have dimensions between 0.1 to 2 nanometers.

So as you can see, it is important that you know everything about
these minerals so that you can make an informed decision about which
ones are right for you!
I strongly suggest you "Take the Tour" before
making your decision because the "source" and
the production method, is
the key to getting the right minerals!. If the product you buy is NOT from
the original source then you have no idea what you are drinking?
