Considering the Nutrients in Mineral MAX AG
from A Geological, Physical, Chemical & Nutritive Perspective
Blue-Green Algae (AFA): Have a tremendous quantity of nutrients. They live in Klamath Lake, which has a large amount of slow-dissolving basalt rock. Blue-Green algae are super dense in nutrients; they contain nearly every life-sustaining substance. These include a broad spectrum of Amino acid proteins (60%+), fatty acids, several minerals and vitamins, carotenoids, carbon, carbohydrates, fiber, growth factors, & nitrogen. Please see the Blue-Green Algae Nutritional Profile under the Documents Menu tab on this website for detailed information. Blue-Green algae have existed approximately 2.1 to 2.4 billion years. They have survived every temperature and earth condition and are still thriving to this day.
Kelp (Ascophyllum Nodosum): Has existed for 23 million years, surviving in cold waters mostly in the northern hemisphere. It contains many kinds of proteins and amino acids (approximately 9%), including glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and alanine. It has a high mineral content: rich in potassium, Vitamin K, calcium, sodium, magnesium, some manganese, and iron. The remaining nutrients found in kelp are fatty acids, additional vitamins, carbohydrates, catechins, flavanols (a type of flavonoid, a group of plant-based compounds known for their antioxidant properties), assorted antioxidant compounds, and various lipids. We work with a rapid, dissolving foliar grade. It has a high growth hormone activity similar to Blue-green AFA. Kelp has been used as mulch worldwide to nourish plants.
Fulvic & Humic (Humates): Found in soil, Leonardite (oxidized Lignite), black peat, brown coal, lignin, & moss. Humates are now also found in manure, compost, & soil sludge. The greening of our planet Earth (4.54 billion years old) began about .5 through 1.5 billion years ago with the formation of much vegetation. Humates are found in ancient lake beds, land mass plant and tree decay, peat bogs, rock weathering, and mineral flows (pitches). Humic acid has a lower pH value than Fulvic acid, and they have different properties. They work together but on different spectrums and ranges of nutrient charges. Humic is 50% carbon, 40% oxygen, and contains some hydrogen and nitrogen. Fulvic is comprised of polysaccharides, fatty acids, polyphenols, catechins, and all micro- and macro-minerals from deep within the Earth. Both keep a lot of carbon in the soil while supplying the materials to ensure the slow release of nutrients for a long time. Both help control pathogens & bind to heavy metals. Their decayed matter is broken down, compressed, & rendered as a rich semi-porous Carbon mineral nutrient.
Humic & Fulvic Acids provide soluble nutrients, helping the mineral complex uptake. This creates more biological interactions that occur as soil bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals decay. This environment creates a greater electrical potential in the soil.
Azomite®: “AZOMITE® is an ancient deposit left by a volcanic eruption that filled a small seabed an estimated 30 million years ago. The seawater was fed through hundreds of mineral-rich rivers. Azomite® ore is mined in Utah. This highly complex silica ore helps with water retention, aeration, and optimum soil structure. Azomite® contains 75 minerals and helps deliver nutrients to plant for healthier crops.
Carbon derived from Coconut husks: (The family Arecaceae, species Cocos) has an 85-million-year history. 100,000 years ago, humans utilized it as a food, fiber, and wood replacement in some parts of the world. The byproduct of the coconut hulls dovetails nicely with the agriculture sector. The porous structure of the activated carbon provides habitat for soil organisms. The carbon is micronized to a fine particle size in a rotary kiln. The carbon micropores absorb impurities as they disinfect. They add carbon to the soil allowing for a slower uptake of nutrients. The synergy with the humates & Azomite® slows water flow, holds soil, & allows for a steady nutrient transfer.
Imagine the nutrient solubility of these highly active mineral substances entering the plant roots & soil. These substances have a long history of solubility with continuous uptaking of potent plant nutrients that is on a constant journey going back & forth between the plant roots & soil, exchanging carbon & sugars for minerals, vitamins, enzymes, & other valuable compounds. Their geology, physical characteristics, & chemistry all create a highly charged Cation exchange capacity of ion nutrient exchange. These positive & negatively charged materials create an electrical potential that supports optimal soil biology and the plant’s highest outcome.
