What are ormus supercharged minerals listed as an ingredient on your selenium label?

Our method of activating and adding a unique, proprietary blend of Ormus Supercharged Minerals™ is based on techniques used by the Father of Alchemy, Philippus Aureolus Paracelsus, who concluded that the addition of trace minerals causes the herbal extract to become exponentially stronger (yet safe), as well as more bioavailable, therapeutic, balanced, and stable. Additionally, each step of the trace mineral production process gathers and concentrates monatomic elements and sends them into a high-electron spin state. Minerals and trace minerals are safely activated and pulled into organic complexes, where they are fixed and preserved in a readily available state. Ormus Supercharged Minerals also include Bamboo salts.
