AZOMITE® is a uniquely natural material, mined in Central Utah, USA.
For over seventy years livestock and crop producers have used AZOMITE®
to improve livestock and plant growth. Typical assays reveal that the
material contains a broad spectrum of over 70 metabolically active
minerals and trace elements. AZOMITE® requires no mixing. It is
odorless, will not burn plants and will not restrict aeration or water
penetration. AZOMITE® is not manufactured or chemically prepared. It is
100% natural and completely free from additives, synthetics or fillers.
AZOMITE® is listed by the prestigious Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) for use in certified organic production.
Mineralogically, AZOMITE® can be described as a rhyolitic tuff
breccia, which is a hard rock formation that formed from the dust of a
volcano that erupted an estimated 30 million years ago. The multitude of
trace minerals found in the deposit resulted from the vocanic ash
merging with seawater to form a mineral composition completely unique to
its location and circumstance. The registered trade name, AZOMITE®,
represents 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
that 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 bags and palletized for distribution all over the world.
