What is the Healthiest Diet? There are lots of different approaches to diet. Paleo, Vegan, Raw, Mediterranean, Weston Price, Standard American, Macrobiotic, high fat, low fat, high protein, low protein and dozens of others. In fact in out 17 years of serving the natural health community with quality products, we have witnessed the crazes come and go. Somehow it seems that many of our customers benefit from very different dietary practices. How can this be? Is it possible that there truly isn't a best diet?The answer to that is likely no. There likely is a best diet, but that diet may very well not be the best diet for the entire population. We often ask our customers to explain to us exactly what they are trying to do. In other words, what is their goal or objective? Metabolic rates, current level of fitness, age, access to food, family dynamics (whether the family can get on board), and various other factors can play into whether a diet is going to be ideal for someone l

What is the Best Method of Water Purification? Water filters of all types, from simple carafe types, to carbon block, all the way to the highest quality reverse osmosis filters all have limitations. Filters require openings for the water to pass through. A filter that may capture 98% of lead in the water, may in turn remove 5% of the arsenic present. Water distillers on the other hand work in a very different way. As a result they have the highest effectiveness in removing contaminates of any technology available. Water distillers not only remove organic contaminants but also radioactive isotopes, pharmaceutical traces in the water supply (of which there are a LOT), bacterial contaminates, viruses. They do all that without exposing yourself to plastic compounds synthetic filter media or glues. Water Distillers also don’t drop in their effectiveness ratings as filters do with age. In other words your distiller doesn’t drop 30-40% in its removing like a filter does. You simply c

How Else Can I use my Champion Juicer? We recently wrote about the benefits of juicing.  We know that a juicer is an investment.  When purchasing a juicer, make sure that you find one that can be used for multiple purposes.  Not only will it make the investment more economical, but it will be another way to get healthy foods into your diet. At Renewed Health Supply, we carry the  Champion Juicer .  The Champion Juicer has a solid piece that can be subbed in for the juicing screen.  This allows you to use the Champion Juicer more as a grinder.  There is also a  homogenizing body  that can be purchased to turn the Champion Juicer into a grinder. When the  Champion Juicer  is turned into a grinder, it can be used to make things like baby food and nut butters.  Why not use it to make your next batch of hummus.  Since it homogenizes, it is a better choice for a smoother consistency.  The powerful motor of the Commercial Champion juicer means that your food will be heated less tha

What are the best ways to get healthy? Having been in business since 1998, we have noticed a large number of trends that have come and gone in the natural/alternative health circle. We have seen everything from some new exotic fruit that will supposedly cure your woes (Noni, mangosteen, acai,) to electrical devices that can supposedly cure cancer, to diets that run from raw vegan to paleo or high fat to no fat or low carb to no carb. Lots of absurdity peppered with some truth. The most distressing of all is that we constantly see people chasing after and spending good money on what is often nothing more than sexy marketing at the expense of embracing proven/time tested health benefitting concepts and products. Maybe there is something about American culture that results in the masses being distracted by the latest and greatest next miracle fix or maybe it is a universal phenomenon. In 2016 our encouragement to you would be to focus on finding the truth in all areas. There are

To Improve Global Well-Being Through Mineral Nutrition More than 40 years ago, Hartley Anderson read a series of newspaper articles written by Dr. George W. Crane announcing such headlines as "Ocean Water Given Arthritis Patients," which piqued Hartley's interest about the amazing results people were receiving from supplementing with small amounts of sea mineral daily. Our focus as a family and business is to make a noticeable difference in the health and well being of the world, one person at a time

Why are minerals so important? Minerals are vital for life, health, and well being. Minerals forge our skeletal structure, they help keep our hearts beating, muscles functioning, and help transmit messages throughout the central nervous system. Your body relies on a steady intake of minerals each day. If we don't receive the required amount of minerals, within a short time the body's stores are depleted (mineral deficiency state), we feel rundown, lethargic, and may become vulnerable to a wide crossover of mineral deficiency effects. Minerals work in synergy with other minerals (calcium teams with magnesium and trace elements) and vitamins to perform their respective biochemical and physiological functions in health.

How did the family become involved in minerals from the Great Salt Lake? The origin of the Anderson family group of companies goes back to the early 1960's when Hartley Anderson read a series of newspaper columns by Dr. George W. Crane stating that most modern diseases were mineral deficiency diseases, which could be prevented by consuming the broad spectrum of minerals found naturally in sea water. Hartley learned that the Great Salt Lake, which was not far from where he lived, contained the same mineral content and balance advocated by Dr. Crane, but that it was more concentrated and pristine than sea water. In 1969 Hartley and Gaye, his wife, began selling their first product, Inland Sea Water™. Soon, the Andersons discovered a method for removing the sodium and launched the first ultra-concentrated, low-sodium mineral and trace element formula,(now known today as Anderson's Concentrated Mineral Drops™) which was followed by several other mineral-based formulas. Today,

What else should I know about your products and company? For over forty years, the mission of the Anderson family has been and continues to be improving global well being through mineral nutrition. MRI's minerals are unique and unlike any other mineral supplement found in the marketplace. Some may claim to be the same, but they don't come close to our quality. Mother Nature, the Anderson family, and MRI go to great lengths to concentrate, harvest, test, and manufacture their products. Val Anderson states, "It can take two years or more working with nature to concentrate and refine some of our mineral concentrates. We rely on the energetics of each season plus the combined conditions of the surrounding mountains and desert valley to shape our finished concentrates. Further, MRI conducts rigorous potency and purity testing both at its in house lab and independent labs." Today, the Anderson family is integrally involved in the day to day operations of the busines

Are your minerals safe? When taken as directed, our products are safe. Please refer to each product label for exact dosage recommendations as well as any pertinent information. In certain cases, consuming larger amounts or the recommended daily dose all at once may cause digestive upset or a temporary laxative effect. If this occurs, decrease the dosage. Spreading consumption throughout the day may also eliminate or reduce this side effect and improve the absorption of the minerals. Individuals with kidney disease should not take magnesium supplements unless they are under the supervision of their physician. And, as always, if you are under the care of a physician or are currently taking prescription medications, you should consult with your doctor first before taking any dietary supplement(s). MRI's minerals are Generally Recognized as Safe. Furthermore, each and every lot of our mineral concentrates are assayed for purity and potency. One of the most important tests we co

Company Philosophy For nearly 40 years, the guiding mission of the Anderson family - founders of MRI - has never wavered -to improve global well being through mineral based nutrition from Utah's Great Salt Lake. The family's philosophy continues to be that our pure, natural minerals capture the true essence and character of the pristine, untouched, beauty of the Great Salt Lake and the seasons. However, it is these elements that ultimately craft MRI's exceptional minerals into the products people consume each day for health and wellness. From left to right: Val Anderson, Matthew Anderson, Bruce Anderson, Corey Anderson,members of the Anderson family, majority owners of Mineral Resources International, Inc.,pictured at NorthShore, the family's harvesting operation.

Company History More than 40 years ago, Hartley Anderson read a series of news paper articles written by Dr. George W. Crane announcing such headlines as "The Ocean's 44 Antidotes for Deficiency Ailments" and "Trace Chemicals Essential to the Body." The Power of Trace Elements These articles piqued Hartley's interest with information about the amazing results people were receiving from drinking small amounts of sea water each day. This led him to research the Great Salt Lake, an inland sea located near his home. He discovered that not only did the Great Salt Lake contain the same minerals and balance discussed by Crane, but that it was more concentrated than regular sea water. Hartley knew there was a need for these minerals and thus, the idea for a company was born. Yet it was not until Hartley had tried the minerals himself and had witnessed powerful results from his friends and family that the company was established with initial product sales
