A Typical Analysis of Sea Minerals
The most common element in the Sea is Magnesium (Mg). Australian soils are sadly low in this element compared to other continents. To find out what minerals do for you please look at our page www.amenas.com.au/minerals-and-their-functions/ This explains the body's use of the most common dietary minerals.
I have two lots of analysis below, one is the basic make-up of sea minerals and the next is a typical analysis of sea water.
It is important to note that Trace Elements are just that, "just a trace". Amena's Sea Minerals have the sodium chloride reduced to a very small amount, less that 4% or your daily requirements. Also the seawater is reduced to approximately 1% of it's original mass to become 'Sea Minerals'. Please use this table as a guide only.
MINERAL MAKEUP OF SEA MINERALS (BASIC ANALYSIS)
NOTE: Sea Minerals are concentrated to 1% of the original sea water.

This is a makeup of seawater from https://web.stanford.edu/group/Urchin/mineral.html Seawater, amazingly, doesn't vary much in its mineral makeup from place to place. (ppm converted to percentage of whole by Amena's Sea Minerals)
