Azomite

AZOMITE® is a natural mined product. For over sixty years regional livestock and crop producers have utilized this unique material from central Utah to improve livestock and plant growth. Assays reveal that the material contains a broad spectrum of metabolically active minerals and trace elements. AZOMITE® is a naturally mined mineral product that requires no mixing. It is odorless, won't burn plants and won't restrict aeration or water penetration. Unlike some products, AZOMITE® is not a manufactured, chemically prepared fertilizer. It is 100% natural with no additives, synthetics or filters. Mineralogically, the material can be described as a rhyolitic tuff breccia, which is a hard rock formation formed from the dust of a volcano that exploded, much like when Mount St. Helens did in 1980. Its uniqueness does stem from the multitude of trace minerals found in the deposit. Thus the trade name, AZOMITE®, the "A to Z of Minerals Including Trace Elements". Chemically, AZOMITE® is a hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS) containing other minerals and trace elements which the National Research Council recognizes to be essential. HSCAS is listed in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR 582.2729) as an anti-caking agent, and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. After completing a series of manufacturing steps AZOMITE® is stored for bulk shipment or packaged in 40 pound paper bags and palletized. The product is a very dusty, fine, free-flowing powder (-200 mesh) with a bulk density of 48 pounds per cubic foot. Upon securing control of the AZOMITE® mining rights, the new owners initiated a series of ongoing accredited research studies. These studies have been focused on broiler chickens because they have a 7 week life span and broilers are smaller and less expensive to grow than larger animals. Some scientific work has been completed on citrus trees and plants. 0-0-0.2 Guaranteed Analysis Soluble Potash(K2O): 0.2% Calcium (Ca): 1.8% Magnesium (Mg): 0.5% Chlorine (Cl): 0.1% Sodium (Na): 0.1% Label - Feed Ingredient Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminosilicate - Anticaking Agent - In compliance with CFR 582.2729, to be used as an animal feed ingredient at a level not exceeding 2% of the feed mixture in accordance with good feed mixing and manufacturing practices. Claims Peak Mineral-Azomite, Inc. does claim AZOMITE® is effective both as a fertilizer providing trace elements and as an Anticaking agent in the manufacture of feed. Background, typical element analysis, research summaries, and the other information set forth herein is presented to provide some technical background and product information to the scientist or potential distributor. None of that information should be misconstrued as claims that AZOMITE® may be effective in any manner other than as stated in the paragraph above.
