Welcome to Mineral Resources International

In 1968, Hartley Anderson read a series of newspaper articles written by George W. Crane, Ph.D., M.D., conveying the amazing results people were receiving from drinking a small amount of sea water daily. Crane theorized that the minerals and trace minerals contained in sea water, including magnesium, potassium and bromine, played an essential role in maintaining optimal health.

With this in mind, Anderson began researching the nutritional properties of the Great Salt Lake, a large inland sea located in northern Utah. Anderson soon discovered that not only did the Great Salt Lake contain the same minerals and trace minerals advocated by Crane, but that Great Salt Lake water was six to ten times more concentrated than regular ocean water—from a more naturally pure source. Anderson and a few of his friends began supplementing their diets with small amounts of purified Great Salt Lake water, and, within a few days, began to notice powerful results.

Anderson and his wife, Gaye, began selling this new product to the general public and it was not long before consumer testimonials began pouring in further attesting to its effectiveness. The Andersons soon developed a process harnessing the power of nature to remove the sodium, thereby creating our proprietary low-sodium, concentrated mineral drops.
 

In 1969, Mineral Resources International (MRI) was founded with the manufacturing rights to supply its sister companies and the international marketplace with private label products and bulk ingredients.

Scope of Marketing

MRI's harvesting division, North Shore Ltd., is located at the northern tip of the Great Salt Lake on more than 230 acres of pristine shoreline. MRI is presently the only licensed producer on the lake producing a food grade product.

MRI's headquarters are located in Ogden, Utah. Our modern facility includes more than 35,000 square feet of manufacturing space. After the minerals are harvested from our remote North Shore location, we then process the minerals, conducting numerous tests, before incorporating them into our line of dietary supplements. MRI's quality assurance manager, in-house chemist and laboratory staff work closely with manufacturing to ensure optimal quality, purity and safety.

MRI has developed several products combining its cornerstone liquid mineral product with quality vitamins, herbs, enzymes and other important nutrients to create the most complete, high quality line of nutritional products available in the marketplace. Today, MRI manufactures over 50 quality products ranging from our complete daily multi-vitamin and multi-mineral supplements to our specialized bone and joint formulas—each built on the benefits of minerals from Utah's Great Salt Lake. MRI's finished products include liquids, powders and tablets.

MRI sells finished, packaged products to several established distributors within the United States and throughout the world including North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Pacific Rim.

For more than 32 years, MRI and the Anderson family have been dedicated to providing only the finest nutritional dietary supplements using ionic minerals and trace minerals harvested from our pristine source located on the north shore of Utah's Great Salt Lake. You can take confidence in not only the quality of MRI products but in the commitment of MRI to its employees and to the environment.
