Hi,

I was interested in the vitamin mineral supplement Intramax. I noticed on the label that it contains Aluminum.

I thought that you weren't supposed to ingest aluminum.

thanks

Following is the response from the manufacturer or Intramax:

At one time there was. Aluminum is harmless and needed by the body. However, because of misinformed publicity concerns about aluminum's association with Alzheimer's Disease, it was unfortunately removed from Drucker Labs' products.
It is important to note that any refined mineral or metal produced by man should never be confused with nature's chelated ionic form of aluminum, or any other trace element we derive from plants. Aluminum is the second most prevalent mineral on earth, and organic aluminum is in every plant food we eat. When combined with fulvic acid, organic aluminum forms aluminum silicate which is harmless to the body.
One gram of beans contains 200 mg. of aluminum silicate. If it were harmful, people who eat beans as a staple would have a large incidence of Alzheimer's disease. This is not the case. All minerals found in plants are bound to organic compounds composed of amino acids, proteins, or acids. Plant form minerals are ionic rather than metal elements.
