AP - Maine officials are advising consumers to avoid eating lobster tomalley after tests revealed high levels of toxins in some lobsters.Dietary mineral supplements come in many forms the best being minerals in a liquid supplement. Mineral supplements in this form contain more minerals, are non toxic, and are more readily absorbed into the body.

Their plant-derived origin also renders them completely safe as they are wrapped in a plant amino acid coating.
Why Take Dietary Mineral Supplements
Today many people acknowledge that our food crops are grown in mineral depleted soil this means, for example, that the amount of iron in a pound of spinach grown in the early 1900s is about 30% more than you would find today.
These mineral deficiencies are further compounded by our use of fertilizers (that supply only nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium), pesticides, preservatives, long storage periods and our love of fast food.
These efficiencies then lead to diseases which many argue can be prevented or reversed by supplementing with dietary mineral supplements.
