What are Angstrom Minerals?

What can you tell me about Angstrom Minerals?
by Matthew T. Anderson

An Angstrom is a scientific unit of measuring  size and is equivalent to 1 X 10-10 meters. This would be a suitable measurement for measuring ions or atoms, or very small wavelengths. The  atoms on the periodic table range from around half an angstrom on one end to probably around 5 angstroms on the large end. For example an ion of lithium is .68 angstroms and an atom of Potassium is 2.02 Angstroms.

It appears that in the marketplace the term "angstrom" is being used as a way to describe quality minerals in that the smaller the size, the higher the quality as elements of smaller size are more easily absorbed. The term itself only denotes the size, and does not necessarily denote whether or not the element is actually independent. For example, an actual atom of potassium is 2.02 angstroms, but this does not necessarily denote whether the atom is independent as an ion, or whether it is combined into part of a larger matrix of other compounds. In other words, just because the atom is in angstrom size does not necessarily mean that the particle would also be angstrom size. Colloids, for example, may have a radius of a million times larger.

Theoretically, for most elements, if it has really been isolated to its angstrom size, then by definition it would have had to be isolated from any other elements. For most elements to become independent, they will either pick up an extra electron, or give up an electron, thus making the atom ionic. The electric conductivity test that MRI is famous for will be a good way to tell whether a product has particles in angstrom size since particles which are truly angstrom size, will be independent, will be ionic, and will conduct electricity. If a particular product has low conductivity, then it can reasonably be concluded that either the particles are not actually angstrom sized, or the quantity of the angstrom elements is very low, or a combination of both.

It appears to me that because this is a little known, but yet scientific term that marketers can use the term to dazzle customers, much like the term "colloidal" of the past. The only advantage that I can see of using this term is that it is somewhat unknown, and, therefore, companies using the term can appear to have something new, which many not actually be the case.

Certainly MRI can rightfully claim and apply the term "angstrom" to any of our liquid minerals. Others have also started to use the term "nano" to describe their elements, which is a similar term. The
 simple electric conductivity test will cut through the rhetoric to determine which products have high quantities of ionic and, therefore, absorbable elements.

 Interestingly, cations will shrink in size slightly as they have given up an electron, while anions will grow slightly as they have taken an extra electron.

 I hope that this information is helpful. Customers that may have any questions or concerns are encouraged to contact us at MRI.
