Dear Ivan et al-- Thanks for your reply.

Could you elaborate a little, esp. to differentiate between molecules of the "special" and "transport" types? > dissolve calcium carbonate in > vinegar or malic acid (apple juice) almost completely. Any opinion as to which acids are the healthiest choices? All of this leaves at least one of my initial questions untouched. Could it be that certain metabolic sites produce mineral-releasing enzymes on location, to allow minerals to remain in relatively stable bonds until they reach the destination needed? I.e., could minerals ingested in a pre-ionized solution be inferior in that they react to form myriad compounds before reaching locations where their ionic form is needed? Could this be a drawback of the Sea Mineral product I mentioned (www.survivalsystem.com), whether it's taken with or without supplemental acid (like cider vinegar)?
