FAQ: What is the difference between Blue Green Minerals and Original Herbal Minerals?

Q- What is the difference between Blue Green Minerals and Original Herbal Minerals?

A- The two formulas are quite similar in terms of their ingredients. Today we'll explain a few of the differences.

What many folks don't know is ingredients are listed on a label in order from the most to the least. This is not only true for our products- anything you buy will have ingredients listed this way. 

For example, in the case of our Original Herbal Minerals, Alfalfa is listed first. This is because Alfalfa is the most prevalent ingredient in the formula. Dill is last because there's a tiny amount. Blue Green Algae is ingredient one in Blue-Green Minerals  and Dill is again last. 

With that information in mind, here are the ingredient lists for the two formulas- 

Original Herbal Minerals 
*Alfalfa, *Oatstraw, *Shavegrass, *Red Raspberry, *Peppermint, *Chamomile, *Yarrow, *Chickweed, *Borage and *Dill in a base of Kosher Vegetable Glycerine and Reverse Osmosis Water. *Ingredients are Certified Organic.

Blue Green Minerals
*Blue Green Algae, *Rosehips, *Alfalfa Leaf, Pau d' Arco, *Shavegrass Herb, *Oatstraw, *Red Raspberry Leaf, *Flaxseed, *Chickweed, *Peppermint Leaf, *Chamomile Flowers, *Yarrow Flowers, Green Stevia, *Dill Weed
Additional Ingredients: ActiVin (high potency grape seed extract), 500 mg Calcite Super and 250 mg Magnesium Citrate (based on 8oz bottle size) in a base of Kosher Vegetable Glycerine and Reverse Osmosis Water. *Ingredients are Certified Organic.

This has the addition of blue green algae. A superfood chock full of nutrients. We also add grape seed extract, calcium, and magnesium. These are added in relatively small doses as the herbs themselves also contain these- and other nutrients.

As you can see, both contain many of the same herbs in different quantities. Both are used by adults, children, seniors, and during pregnancy. Original Herbal Minerals seems to have found a niche among pregnant and nursing mothers (unless their practioner encourages additional calcium and/or magnesium supplementation). 

We have found people have different tastes and needs. These each have different tastes and minerals to nourish the body. Our formulas focus on different organs of the body in order to detox, cleanse, strengthen the entire body, purify the blood and/or lymph system in order to regain or maintain health. We recommend you use and alternate several formulas to help support success.*
