Denkelia’s plant derived colloidal minerals are carefully extracted and processed in Utah, the mining capital of the United States. Our source is an open cast humic shale mine which houses deposits of prehistoric plant matter which existed between 75 and 150 million years ago and now this precious resource sits close to the surface, ready to reward us with a pure source of plant derived minerals.

Water and UV rays can and will leach goodness out of these deposits. However, our source is covered with a layer of matter which was once an ancient deciduous forest. This in turn is covered with a thin limestone cap, protecting it from the elements. The layer from which we extract our life enhancing plant derived minerals was not subject to heavy pressure and therefore didn’t fossilise or putrefy and remains available for easy extraction.

The compressed ancient deciduous forest from which we source our plant derived minerals was once full of ferns, angiosperms (e.g. magnolias), cycads and conifers. At the time, the soil in which these vibrant plants flourished was rich in minerals and these were converted into organic colloidals which, over 75 million years later, form the basis of Denkelia’s plant derived minerals.

It’s believed these plants absorbed at least 60 of the 80+ metallic minerals in the soil. The brontosaurus happily munched his way through an average of 880 pounds of vegetation a day, while trees grew an average of 25 feet every year.

After the humic shale is carefully removed from its ancient resting place, it’s deposited into large sterlised, food grade tanks with natural spring water. It’s here that, through the process of osmosis, the nutrients slowly leach out of the shale. The culmination of this process results in a plant derived colloidal mineral supplement that contains 38 grams of plant derived minerals per litre. Producing one litre of this precious commodity takes 78 pounds of humic shale, which is believed to be 1,034 pounds of prehistoric vegetation.
