What is intraMAX™?

intraMAX is a 100% carbon-bond liquid microcomplexed™ trace mineral supplement, plus an all-in-one multivitamin and much more. It contains 70+ trace minerals along with other health promoting “super foods” which totals more than 415+ essential carbon-bond organic microcomplexed™ nutrients in each bottle.

Why do we need organic minerals?

Because of soil depletion. Soil depletion occurs when chemical fertilizers kill the microorganisms in the soil that produce minerals for the plants. When an organic humus bed is destroyed, plants grown in that soil lack minerals as documented in 1936 by Dr. Northen in Senate Document 264. Without key trace minerals, the body cannot utilize amino acids, fats and vitamins properly. Minerals are indispensable to every organ, gland and muscle in the body. Without minerals, life cannot exist as they are the stimulus that produces energy and are required for all life functions. Trace mineral products generally have a metallic taste. Drucker Labs has great 100% all natural Tropical Passion flavors so that taking Organic Trace Minerals is now enjoyable. With 72+ different minerals which are extracted from an ancient organic humus bed that was living organic matter and near 100% bio-available, Drucker Technologies 100% Organically IntraMAX Rx™ with natural Fulvic Acid provides the trace minerals missing from today’s foods!
