Re: ConcenTrace taste (for the record)

10 in a quart. 40 in a gallon.

If you are deficient in certain minerals, then they have less taste to

you. So goes a theory which I have read but never authenticated.

Companies actually sell tasting / testing minerals.

Also, adding minerals to RO water produces a different product than

adding it to mineral - heavy local water (if your local water is high in

some minerals as mine is).

Desh, yes, I have seen these...but usually it is an absence of taste or a

bitterness that shows deficiency or adequacy. what I'm talking about is a

fullness/richness of flavor. a sense of satisfaction. I'm curious what might

cause that.

The wiki on taste is interesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste if

you scroll down to the saltiness section, it sounds like the various

minerals stimulate saltiness receptors. In one part it also mentions

that the saltiness receptors are ion channels, so that makes sense with

the concentrace product.

Of course as with all things wiki, the information must also be taken

with a grain of salt.

Hello,

" Companies actually sell tasting / testing minerals "

Do you have experience with any of these companies? If you have any company

names, or opinions about any companies that sell tasting / testing materials I

would be interested in investigating their products.

Thanks,

Gail

this was very interesting, from that article:

Other monovalent cations, e.g. ammonium, NH4+, and divalent cations of the

alkali earth metal group of the periodic table, e.g. calcium, Ca2+, ions

generally elicit a bitter rather than a salty taste even though they too can

pass directly through ion channels in the tongue, generating an action

potential.

that explains the bitterness when taken full strength.

Metagenics has a product for testing zinc, Zinc Status Test (?), i

think.

Gail,

I've never tried the taste / testing for deficiency minerals.

Thanks to the people who answered my questions about taste/testing for minerals.

I'll share any information that I get when I research the topic.
