Unlike other "wanna-be" mineral supplement products on the market, Dr. Wallach's Majestic Earth Minerals come to us directly from plants grown in virgin, mineral-rich soils. The plants, the organic material from which we extract the minerals we pour into each bottle of Majestic Earth Minerals, actually grew many, many years ago in a pristine, pre-human, mineral-rich environment. They are from an age, in fact, when the land produced gargantuan trees and lush vegetation. This plant material was entombed, vacuum-sealed, and preserved through the ages by a gentle blanket of volcanic ash and subsequent layers of additional sediment. The mining site where we obtain our "raw material" of mineral-rich plant matter is a unique one, geologically speaking, located up in the hills of southeastern Utah.
In the first part of the mineral extraction operation the miners follow veins of the organic material, expertly blasting them free from their ore and rock housing. Then they gather up the debris with huge backhoes and cart it off to giant vats of fresh spring water. There the colloidal minerals, being water-soluble, are leached from the plants. No chemical or thermal "accelerators" are used. Rather, the minerals are allowed to gently dissolve over a three to four week period. The resulting, raw "tea" containing the valuable minerals as well as ores and some sediment is then filtered and re-filtered over and over again. Our onsite engineer is actually a man of some distinction, holding an exclusive patent on various highly sophisticated filtering systems. In this way, through careful, patented filtering, all the metallic contaminants, rock particles, ores, and dirt, being of substantially larger size than the colloidal minerals, are removed. Then the filtered tea goes to the processing plant, where it is thoroughly scrubbed of any biological contaminants and balanced to the right, the ideal concentration of suspended liquid organic minerals (19,000 mg/liter).
Youngevity is the only company of its kind to have exclusive rights to the minerals. While there are other mining operations nearby, they are very much "mom & pop" operations in comparison. They can't match the filtering system or the years of expertise that stands behind Dr. Wallach's very own Majestic Earth Minerals. Other operations, typically, drill down to, at the most, about 3 feet. Contrast this to the average depth of over 70 feet for the veins of plant matter we harvest. Since minerals in the earth's topsoil are distributed unevenly (like chocolate in chocolate ripple ice cream), plants growing during different geological eras and in varying geological conditions will draw up a different "mix" of minerals for each era and set of conditions. Thus, to get a full spectrum of minerals, it is important to have at least a 7-foot vertical draw in order to acquire plants grown in a variety of contexts.
