No offense lightstream but you certainly have a lot of questions and misconceptions, to many to go through easily ! I suggest you read the testimony and the Recommended messages !Find out what the mineral/energy drink is all about and you may come to understand how minerals are properly used for proper assimulation and proper balance to create electro/magnetic energy or electrolytic energy!
There is a lot of misunderstanding about certain minerals and trace minerals and their uses! Remember alkalizing and mineralizing is about balance more then anything, creating the right ratio of anionic to cationic molecules to creat the forces of life, it is not about any particular mineral but how they work synergistically to sustain biological life and the energy to maintain and empower life !
