Colloidal Nutrients

Anyone know much about this? Peace GS

A colloid is a particle substance that retains its identity and remains in liquid suspension. Colloids are very small in size and therefore easily absorbed by the cells of the body. Plants convert metallic minerals into this form. They have a natural negative electrical charge.

Liquid minerals have a natural negative electrical charge, which is the signature of the true plant derived mineral.

Minerals that are negatively charged have two very important benefits.

--It greatly increases the transport and bioavailability of other nutrients gotten from foods and/or vitamins and other supplements.

--It will attract toxins and heavy metals from the body and flush them out. Clinical tests done in the US. and in Germany have verified this.



Minerals in their metallic form can be toxic to the human body. Dangerous levels of these metallic minerals can accumulate in the tissues and create serious health problems.

also from hydroseeding.org Forums,Getting back to the organics. Composted materials contains nutrients that have already been used by plants and animals. Since these nutrients have already been processed by plants and animals, they are already in smaller particle sizes and therefore easier for the new plants to takeup. Each time the particles are recycled, they get smaller until they become collodial in nature. Colloidal nutrients are water soluible and are easily carried into the plants. Nutrients in a crystalloid state are even easier for plants to takeup but are not commonly found on dry land. by muddstopper

colloidal phosphate consists of clay particles surrounded by natural phosphate. Total phosphate is around 20% and "available" phosphate about 2-3%. An efficient use of colloidal phosphate is to add it directly to livestock manure in the barn or lot, where the manure acids dissolve much of the total phosphate and the phosphate stabilizes the nitrogen in the manure. Many of the same advantages can be had by adding 20-50 pounds of colloidal phosphate to one ton (two cubic yards) of manure when composting. The ATTRA publication Farm-scale Composting Resource List directs the reader to many useful resources on composting. When direct land application of rock phosphate is the only possibility, spreading rates between 500 and 2,000 pounds per acre are appropriate, depending on phosphorus status, soil acidity, and finances.

Geologists classify it as a colloidal, montmorillite clay from an ancient ocean deposit, rich in sediments, minerals and sea life. This fossil clay from an ancient seafloor contains over 70 trace elements, and is touted to boost the growth and health of almost any plant.
