Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Hi, This is what is written about Azomite on the WAP web site. " Azomite Mineral Powder: This powdery mineral supplement, containing montmorillonite clay and many other compounds, comes from an ancient seabed. It is an excellent source of silica, calcium, magnesium and the gamut of trace minerals. Clay also has detoxifying effects as the negatively charged clay particles attract positively charged pathogens and take them out of the body. Technically sold as an anticaking compound and available only in 40-pound bags, Azomite is incredibly cheap when used as a mineral supplement, costing less than one dollar per pound delivered. Take a heaping teaspoon mixed with water daily as an insurance of adequate macro- and trace mineral ingestion in these days of soil depletion through intensive farming. " This sand I have could hardly be called a powder! If it were a clay it should at least hang in suspension in the water. Maybe I have the wrong Azomite. I got it through a biodynamic farmer. Would someone else who has taken Azomite please tell me what theirs looked like? Thanks, Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 ---Did you get 40 pounds? At what price? I've been thinking of getting some but haven't so know nothing about it.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 No, I just got 5 pounds, the farmer kept the rest. Believe me this smaller amount would last a long, long time. The 40 pound bag could not have been very large, because it is such heavy stuff. I am trying to drink this grit, but I'm not sure I can do it for long.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 ---perhaps the product segregated when the farmer poured yours out. You could sift it or perhaps let the sand settle to the bottom in a small amount of water and drink the rest. Or maybe shake it (dry) in a jar and further separate the particles by size.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 A few of the white particles are as large as peas. No amount of shaking would get them to a size I could drink. I can't even break them down with a mortar and pestle. Impossible! Your idea of soaking them and just drinking the water might be the best idea. I'll try that. It puzzles me that the description in NT is so different than the product itself. I will check with the farmer to be absolutely sure I have the right Azomite.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Sheila, I'm clear by your description that you have a faulty bag of Azomite. When I ordered my 40 lbs, it came with a texture similar to concrete. There are no lumps and though it's a little gritty to drink (it's clay after all), it's just a quick swallow. I separated it into two pound zip lock bags to keep it from getting too moist & to prevent the dust from getting everywhere. Sorry you got a big bum bag of ball sized rock. You are under no obligation to try to inject it, in my estimation.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 I ordered a 40 pound bag from azomite.com. I think it was around $50 (including shipping). When I ordered it, I told them how I would be using it and they sent me the one I needed. It's a powder - slightly thicker than baby powder and a little darker in color. It comes in a big bag, so it can be a little messy to re-pack into jars. They have a 5 pound jar you can buy also. I don't remember how much they charge for that size. I have no lumps of any kind in mine. It doesn't dissolve in water, but it really doesn't have a bad taste. I put it in plain water and drink it or add it to smoothies. When I put it in water, it does have a grainy texture, but not as grainy as sand. The taste or texture just don't seem to bother me. Occasionally, I even add a bit to my dog's morning meals and put it in their water sometimes. I also use it in my gardening. If you're in the states, I would be happy to send you a little of mine (no charge) so you can see what it's like. I was really confused at first, too. You can email me privately if you'd like some of mine. michelle.pinkowski@... No, I just got 5 pounds, the farmer kept the rest. Believe me this smaller amount would last a long, long time.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 You can buy it at azomite.com (Peak Minerals). I ordered mine over the phone at 417-334-8500. I wasn't sure (from the website) which one I should order, so I spoke to them directly. > Where did you buy you azomite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 I just wanted to thank everyone for their replies to my questions about Azomite. I don't think I will ingest any more of it. I will feed it to my house plants. I am sure they will benefit. Like Chi said, it should be in the soil. Be Well, Sheila > > Where did you buy you azomite?
