WHAT IT DOES
A natural source of trace minerals and electrolytes from evaporated ocean water.
🏆
2
DOES IT WORK?
Contains a broad spectrum of trace minerals (magnesium, potassium, sodium, plus dozens of trace elements). The idea of getting minerals 'the way nature intended' is appealing, but the amounts of individual minerals are usually too small to address specific deficiencies. Better as a general trace mineral top-up than a targeted supplement.
