ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops

Most people don't get nutrients from food anymore. You guys must already know this.  Obviously, there's Monsanto's destruction and their GMOs, but even foods grown without Monsanto's preferred technique and GMO-flavors (that's a joke. GMOs are horrible), we still don't get the full nutrients due to the depletion of them in our soil...

So, we've been told (if not, we should be) that we need to look elsewhere to compensate for the lack of minerals in foods, which is exactly what I  have been doing.

 I'm only about 2 years into the journey of learning and implementing real health into my... well, my health. You guys have been with me on most of this journey as I've shared so much about each condition I've been dealing with, shared my journey in working to "fix" it and everything else. At this point in my "journey," I'm working on getting trace minerals into my diet/health because, going back to the introduction to this post, we do not get these things from the foods we eat (or not nearly enough.)

So, through this learning process, I learned that while the earth is depleted of  those important minerals, the seas are not! (This is where ConcenTrace comes in. I'll explain in a moment.)

And that's why you see photos of these little bottles of clear fluid that say "ConcenTrace liquid Mineral Drops" on the label in this post. I'm using this product -- ConcenTrace -- to get the necessary minerals in my diet in order to be as healthy as I can. Plus, with all the other supplements (i.e. wheatgrass, vitamins, etc.) I've been religiously adding in, it's important to get all the minerals, vitamins and nutrients necessary for them all to work. For example, like taking calcium only and not the other vitamins and minerals necessary to actually make the calcium work. If these things make sense. You have to have supply your body with all of its needs in order for any of its nutrients, minerals and vitamins to actually do it any good. P.S. ConcenTrace is GMO-free!

Now, I'm going to share with you what ConcenTrace is, what it does, the benefits, what it tastes like, how to use it, how it makes me feel and everything else I have learned or experienced while using ConcenTrace.

What is ConcenTrace?

ConcenTrace Mineral Drops come from the Great Salt Lake (in Utah), which is potent, pristine and  considered one of the best areas for ionic trace minerals. These minerals consist of over 72 trace minerals. Those of which include: 

 Calcium, Silicon, Selenium, Phosphorous, Iodine, Chromium, Manganese, Iron, Copper, Molybdenum, Zinc, Vanadium, Antimony, Barium, Beryllium, Bismuth, Boron, Bromine, Cadmium, Calcium, Carbonate, Cerium, Cesium, Chloride, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Dysprosium, Erbium, Europium, Gadolinium, Gallium, Germanium, Gold, Hafnium, Holmium, Indium, Iodine, Iridium, Iron, Lanthanum, Lead, Lithium, Lutetium, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Neodymium, Nickel, Niobium, Osmium, Palladium, Phosphorus, Platinum, Potassium, Praseodymium, Rhenium, Rhodium, Rubidium, Ruthenium, Samarium, Scandium, Selenium, Silicon, Silver, Sodium, Strontium, Sulfate/Sulfur, Tantalum, Tellurium, Terbium ,Thallium, Thorium, Thulium, Tin, Titanium, Tungsten, Vanadium, Ytterbium, Yttrium, Zinc, Zirconium, plus other naturally occurring trace minerals found in seawater.

 


 How to Use ConcenTrace

Adults:  Begin taking 10 drops daily for 3 days. Then, each day after, increase it by adding 10 drops up to ½ teaspoon (40 drops) once or twice daily.

Children & Pets   Children (2 and up) as well as pets can be given ConcenTrace!  The dosage for children (remember 2 years & up) is to take 1 drop for every 5 pounds of body weight. Same dosing goes for pets. So, for my cat, who is about 6 pounds, I only give her one drop. For my 10 pound dog, it's 2 drops. 

You can mix ConcenTrace with any beverage, as far as I know. You can also add it to food.  

ConcenTrace can be used to re-mineralize water. 

Adding 20-40 drops per gallon, and it compares to "mineral water," but actually has minerals in it (I'm skeptical that those store bought mineral waters even contain minerals.)

Or you can add 2-4 drops per glass. 

For distilled water: (ConcenTrace remineralizes it):  1/4-1/2 teaspoon per gallon


Taste

ConcenTrace alone tastes very salty. And since it doesn't have any kind of putrid odor or flavor to it, it's very easy to consume without being put off by a taste or odor. It's not recommended to just consume it directly -- probably due to the strong salty taste -- but ConcenTrace recommends simply adding the drops into water or another beverage.

I personally can drink the ConcenTrace drops in any beverage without hardly noticing anything. I've had it in water, Dr. Pepper, coffee, cucumber water, tea, etc. It's virtually undetectable unless you are only drinking a tiny amount (say less than half a small saucer full of water+ConcenTrace) in order to really notice it. I've even added the drops to ConcenTrace's Green's Pak (which contains loads of fruit extracts vegetables, wheatgrass, etc.) with no problem.

I've been able to add it to the tiniest amount of water (a tiny shotglass amount of water) and barely be able to notice the ConcenTrace. The liduid is clear, nothing powdery or noticeable so there's no issues of dissolving it or having a funkly colored beverage, if that bothers you. Personally, I can drink almost any color -- hey, if you can down a cup of the green stuff (wheatgrass), you can handle clear colored liquids!

Sodium Content
* A lot of people are concerned with sodium content with this type of product. On the Trace Minerals Research (where you can literally read basically everything you could want to know about ConcenTrace including how they "make" it), it says they use their proprietary method (called ConcenFlo) that removes 99% of the sodium content.ConenTrace has low sodium content.


*Adding ConcenTrace to carbonated beverages*
I mentioned using ConcenTrace in Dr. Pepper and other carbonated. The reason isn't only to disguise taste, but because ConcenTrace can help prevent some of the damage caused from carbonated beverages, which was something I was fond of considering I am stuck on Dr. Pepper. Haven't been able to completely cut it from my diet. I'm down to one a day, though.

What are the Benefits of using ConcenTrace?
 -ConcenTrace trace mineral drops can improve bone & joint health -- something I'm going for. People have experienced improvement in strengthening bones, joints & teeth, as well as elimination of calcium deposits.

-Remineralizes water, including distilled (distilling water removes all minerals, which is why so many people recommend against it.) so you can simply have your clean, distilled water & just add ConcenTrace to replace the minerals.

-Replaces electrolytes, which can increase energy, vitality, etc.
 
-Can be use externally as a rub, but it has to be diluted with water first. You can use it to improve skin problems and hair.
 

 -Using ConcenTrace daily helps maintain energy levels

-Provides the body with the entire electrical system needed in order to function properly

-Improves and maintains pH balance in body.

Note: it's been said that disease thrives in acidic environments. Therefore, keeping the body pH balanced will reduce chances of disease. And we know that acidic pH is linked to cancer. 

In turn, alkalinizing your body alone will improve health conditions. Toxins begin to be removed from the body once the pH balance isn't low (acidic.) If you want to know more about the benefits of alkalizing your body -- I highly recomend doing a search on that. No room to put it in this post, but perhaps in the future if ya'll are interested.

-Has a cleansing effect on the digestive system & will regulate.

-Helps assimilate vitamins (vitamins will be used by the body when combined with minerals.)

-Beneficial for remineralizing soil in gardens and for house plants when diluted with water.

-Beneficial for pets, too (see "how to use ConcenTrace to know how to dose for pets).

-"A recent study has shown that a few drops per glass balances soda to greatly reduce the potentially harmful effects of carbonation."

 This is why I've been adding ConcenTrace Mineral Drops to my carbonated beverages!

My Results

I'm on day 3 of taking ConcenTrace trace minerals right now. I'll share my experience, and will continue to update as I see more & more changes.

Day 1: Didn't necessarily notice anything different, which was to be expected.

Day 2: I woke up (before even taking this day's "dose") and felt like I had slept like a rock. I was dead asleep for a solid 10 hours. Thought little of it.

Until Day 3: Which is today. When I woke up, I thought what on earth is with me. I never sleep that hard! And as soon as that thought crossed my mind, I remembered that it's a benefit a lot of people get from getting trace minerals! So, it's day three and the past 2 days, my sleep was awesome. Uninterrupted, hard sleep. It doesn't cause me to over-sleep, but to just sleep really well.

Besides that, I had one more change -- I felt good from the minute I woke up. I felt kind of excited and didn't even spend my usual 20 minutes in a heavy fog. I normally feel kind of heavy and just rough in general when I first wake up, but I felt plain old ready to go today.

It's 8PM right now and this has been a great Sunday. I'm still feeling pretty lovely. I took my "dose" of ConcenTrace about 35 minutes ago, and soon after, I went on a cleaning spree.

The thing is, I don't feel "hyped up" or anything, but as I was cleaning just moments ago (Sweeping, etc.) I felt unusually calm and had a good feeling about getting it done. Normally my cleaning sprees are sporadic and very uncalm. I'm all over the place and feel like I'm exhausting myself & like my mind & body is in super over-drive thinking of how I can just do it as quickly as possible and move on to do the next dreaded task as quickly as I can.

Tonight, I didn't feel that way. I don't know if it's the ConcenTrace or not, but I just felt like doing the tasks well! Not hurrying, but feeling happy to do them and spend time doing it. If this even makes sense. . .

So far, these are the things I noticed. I'm excited to know there's good changes taking place on the inside of me, so I'll keep an eye out & continue to update as I continue using ConcenTrace. I'd heard people say it makes them feel good & energetic, but I never actually expected to have this myself, so it's exciting.

Day 4  Not a whole lot different. I wouldn't say I felt quite as good as I did yesterday, but better than usual. I didn't wake up feeling super great as I did yesterday, but certainly not bad & not with a headache, so that's very good.

Two Weeks Later: I often wake up and think this "best freaking sleep ever!" I'm serious. I never knew it was possible to sleep so well! I sleep hard and as soon as I wake up, my mind is re-started. No crazy head fog. It's amazing. I've been sleeping like this ever since the 2-3 day of using ConcenTrace, and I'm taking the recommended dose still everyday. I fill up a large water bottle in the morning, and add the drops. Simple as that.

 

(P.S. I'll be updating the "my results" section as I go.)

NOTES:

Worries about heavy metals that are inevitably in many things we consume, including trace minerals arise. Reading into studies and other research on this has showed that having the necessary minerals (such as those in ConcenTrace) basically cancels out the metals you consume alongside them, by preventing the body from absorbing them in the first place. It's also said that there's no need to worry because the amount of metals such as mercury in trace minerals like ConcenTrace is so low that it shouldn't harm us, anyways. But knowing that those minerals "cancels out" the harm these metals could do is helpful. And as I've said, it's been thought that mineral deficiencies are available anytime there's any disease present in the body, so it makes sense to consume trace minerals to avoid these things.
