Mineral supplements have lots of minearls in them including ones you could not need. This review was posted on amazon of concentrace and explains how to keep from getting a lot of arsenic.
Hello World,
Forgive me for putting one star, I've done so to call attention to the review and to ensure it is not lost among the many other reviews, as I think I bring very valuable information. If you find it helpful, please mark it that way so others may see.
Now, I haven't consumed the product yet (it's sitting on my counter), so I can't talk on its efficacy, but I have calculated the maximum safe quantity one should use if they are concerned about the arsenic, cadmium, aluminum, etc. levels, as I was after reading a few reviews here on Amazon.
SO... If you search "Concentrace Analysis Sheet" on Google, you will find the fabled Analysis Sheet that shows the concentration levels of all the ingredients in the product (it's split into two PDFs called "ConcenTrace Analysis 1 - The Mineral Foundation" and "ConcenTrace Analysis Range Sheet 2.pdf - The Mineral Foundation"
I won't report all the values (just look them up), but the most troublesome of them is arsenic, which is present in the product at a concentration of 2.07 ppm. However, we dilute the pure product into water, so this is a higher value than you will actually be drinking. The World Health Organization recommends intake of arsenic at levels no higher than 0.01 ppm. So I did a calculation to determine how dilute the pure product must be to stay under those levels.
For those of you who don't care about the math and just want to see what the safe level of consumption is, please refer to the conclusion.
For you math oriented folk out there, I'm using a basic formula referred to as C1*V1=C2*V2 : (Concentration in one solution)*(Volume of that solution)=(Concentration in a second solution)*(Volume of that solution). You'll see below that I used a final volume of 8 ounces. So this calculation assumes you will be consuming this amount of Concentrace in a standard 8 ounce glass of water.
C1*V1=C2*V2
2.07ppm * (How much can we safely use???) = (0.01ppm) * 8 ounces
How much can we safely use???? = 0.0386 ounces of Concentrace
I then looked up the number of drops in one ounce of water. There is 591.47 drops of water in one ounce. So:
0.0386 ounces * (591.47 drops/ 1 ounce) = 22.85 Drops of Concentrace!
CONCLUSION:
So, per the WHO defined limit of safe levels of Arsenic exposure, one can drink Concentrace at levels NO HIGHER THAN:
22 drops of Concentrace per 8 ounces of water.
or:
96 drops of Concentrace per liter of water.
Namaste Friends! Drink up, be healthy, and feel safe!

I know people here use this so I felt like posting it because it was good to see the aquantities in this product for knowlegdge.
