Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Does anyone have any experience or opinions on Azomite mineral powder? I've started using it based on the recommendations in NT. While much of it disolves/is suspended in water, a noticable amount settles quickly to the bottom of the glass and is very gritty. I wonder if those particles are too big for digesting the minerals? Thanks much, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
