Can I mix the intra products in a smoothie?
No. Our intra products are specially formulated to be taken by themselves with at least 8 to 10 oz. of filtered,
non-chlorinated or bottled spring water. These products should NOT be mixed within a protein drink, a smoothie, fruit juice, vegetable juice, or mixed into a salad dressing. The proprietary intraCELL V Technology may cause the ingredients to bind to whatever food source there is and amplify it (or render it ineffective). This binding tendency is why the intra products are to be taken on an empty stomach and taken two hours before or after pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals (at least 30-minutes before or after any food intake).

Should I take intraMAX every day?
Almost. It should be taken six days a week with a day off. You need consistency and quality in your daily supplementation. Like exercising, though, we believe that it is best to give the body a day of rest. intraMAX constantly provides the body with vital nutrients and helps to achieve gentle detoxification. If you take the same amount the same time every day, it is possible that the body may acclimate to it.

Should I take Calcium-Magnesium along with intraMAX?
No. There is no need to take any extra minerals, vitamins, herbs, digestive enzymes, probiotics, or antioxidants when you take our all-in-one products (intraMAX & intraKID). Everything you need is included at the proper ratios. For your body to function at its maximum, you need calcium citrate, calcium succinate, and calcium ascorbate. All three are in our intraMAX and intraKID products.

intraMAX is a pure 100% microcomplexed organic supplement. The carbon in the product will attach to all other foreign material from sugars to caffeine. Once attached, the technology of the product is designed to breakdown the other material making it smaller for quicker absorption, enhancing the intake by 3-5 times. For example, if you drink 1 cup of coffee and soon after take intraMAX, it will be like drinking 3 - 5 cups of coffee.
Also, if you eat or drink anything containing other nutrients, whether good or bad, the intraMAX technology will attach and increase the intake amount and absorption of the nutrients.
Please be aware that if you drink tap water right after you take your intraMAX you may have a chlorine reaction that could cause a red rash all over your skin. It will pass usually within an hour with no harm done. You need to either put a water filter on your kitchen faucet or purchase bottled water. Be aware that some bottled waters do contain chlorine.
For best results, we recommend that you do not eat or drink anything for at least 30-minutes before and after taking intraMAX.
Yes! From 4 year old to centenarians - our products are safe for children.
Nutritional support is important for every child and adolescent because of the amount of processed food consumed today. Also, foods we might think are good for us are in reality sadly lacking in essential organic live nutrients. Some parents, with good intentions, are giving their children what they think is a good nutritional supplement like a well known chewable vitamin. These products are not only inferior, but they may be doing long term harm.

Can I take other minerals containing colloidal or ionic trace minerals?
No. Products that contain colloidal or ionic minerals may actually be very harmful to your health as they are often poorly manufactured with less than desirable ingredients.
This term is often abused and misused in the mineral supplement industry.
The scientific definition of an “ion” is an atom that has acquired an electric charge through the gain or loss of an electron or electrons. An ion is a group of atoms that has a charge of either positive or negative. Anything metallic is considered to be 'ionic”. For example, your belt buckle is ionic because it has a charge of either positive or negative. All minerals (both 100% organic and inorganic) will have a charge of either positive or negative.
Scientists believe that the only circumstance in which the “charge” would scientifically prove beneficial (or make a difference in any capacity) to the human body is when the endothelial lining of the small intestines (consisting of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum) is stable at a perfect and neutral pH of 7. No one has a perfect pH of 7, especially in the U.S., where chronic acidosis from fast foods, coffee, acidic juices, etc. have become a way of life. Therefore, the term “ionic” when referring to mineral supplements is nothing more than marketing hype.
Fulvic acid is the end product of nature's humification process*, the ultimate breakdown and recycling of once-living plant matter.
Fulvic acid contains the phytochemical protective (anti-aging / antioxidant) nutrients and substances from original living organic plant matter. Thus, fulvic acid has been highly concentrated, refined, transformed, and enhanced over hundreds of years by the actions of innumerable and microscopic organically complexed plants.
Even the smallest strands of RNA, DNA, and organic plant photosynthetic material still remain intact. Over time, the original components become organically complexed and enriched with metalo-enzymes and other organic (and carbonaceous materials), which have proven to have numerous miraculous capabilities and perform critical intra-cellular functions when ingested or applied topically to the skin.
Because fulvic acid is so highly refined and so naturally chelated (ultra tiny size and ultra low molecular weight) by nature itself, it consists of ultra tiny molecules that can easily penetrate human tissues and cells. For this reason, it is highly bioactive on the cellular level providing innumerable biochemical and metabolic detoxification functions. The short term health benefits and long term clinical results are scientifically phenomenal and medically outstanding.
Scientists theorize that mother nature meant for small amounts of fulvic acid to participate at virtually every level of life by way of organically linking the entire food chain. They also believe fulvic acid directly participates in the “spark of life” itself because fulvic acid does contain latent solar energy matter as well as remnants of plant photosynthesis.
We believe fulvic acid is nature's most precious form of protection and defense for plants, animals and man. It is tied very closely with immune system functions and has exceptionally powerful antioxidant (anti-aging) qualities.
Minerals need to be bound or chelated to a protein molecule (living carbon) to be bioavailable. Mineral assimilation without chelation is only about 10%. Fulvic acid is the strongest chelating agent known. It enters into all life processes within plants and animals. Minerals bound to fulvic acid act as free radical scavengers, supply vital electrolytes, increase assimilation, enhance electrochemical balance, enhance and transport nutrients, chelate macro and micro trace minerals, and catalyze enzyme reactions. Fulvic acid along with Drucker Lab’s intraCELL V Technology is what makes the minerals in intraMIN and intraMAX 100% bioavailable.
Drucker Labs uses a purified cold water process to extract fulvic acid. Many other companies use a sulfuric acid process which results in very low carbon levels, very low fulvic acid levels, and very high sulphur levels. The carbon level is an amazing 144,500 mg/l - per one ounce serving in our products. The higher the carbon level, the higher the content of fulvic acid.
*Humification: The processes by which organic matter decomposes to form humus. Humus is the fraction of the soil organic matter that remains after most of the added plant and animal residues have decomposed.

Should I take inorganic minerals like colloidal, coral or ionic trace minerals?
No. Inorganic minerals do NOT contain adequate amounts of organic carbon. They contain mostly inorganic carbonate. Inorganic minerals are considered “non-living” toxic matter (i.e., rocks, humic shale, coral, and dead plant matter). Recent scientific evidence indicates inorganic trace minerals may actually accumulate inside our body over time.
Why? Because our body has an extremely difficult time breaking down and eliminating inorganic elements and materials. Inorganic colloids tend to accumulate in the body and may be permanently stored in the form of potentially harmful (deadly) toxins in generalized fatty tissue, extra-cellular space and interstitial fluids.
Even though inorganic minerals may be toxic to the body over time, they may appear to provide some short term health improvements (approximately 2 or 3 months or so). Unfortunately, your health may begin to decline and then be followed by extreme toxicity.
The definition of a colloid is a large insoluble molecule that does not precipitate, measures between 1 and 100 nanometers in particle size, and are dispersed into another medium. Generally, a colloid will neither sink to the bottom or rise to the top of a solution. They are usually suspended in solution. Colloids are primarily large, inorganic, and insoluble which means that they are dead, synthetic, and do not contain living organic carbon.
Scientists and toxicologists believe these facts are scientifically and medically very significant. They also believe that we should NOT ingest inorganic solutions or colloids for several key reasons:
Large inorganic colloids:
- have a very difficult time passing through the endothelial lining of the intestines and have a very difficult time entering our tiny cells due to their giant size, shape and weight.
- are toxic to the body and may be rejected at the cellular level.
- are considered foreign matter after being rejected at the cellular level. They may then accumulate in extra-cellular space, fatty tissue, and interstitial fluids.
If you are taking any product that describes itself as a colloidal mineral you should be aware that it may not be good for you.

What is a true organic mineral?
A true organic mineral contains organic carbon (not inorganic synthetic carbonate).
Minerals are required by cells as catalysts for proper nutrition. Without minerals, cells cannot function. Minerals are an essential key to sustaining life.

What kind of minerals should I take?
Our body and cells are designed to ingest carbon-bond organic minerals - only. When Drucker Labs uses the word organic, we are not referring to the grocery store use of the word, which means produced without the use of toxic chemicals, pesticides, etc. Rather we are referring to the more important and true scientific meaning of the word organic, which means the branch of chemistry concerned with the composition, properties, and reactions of compounds containing living carbon.
Carbon is a natural component of all living tissue. Carbon is essential to the chemistry of the body, participating in most metabolic processes and acting as a component of carbohydrates, amino acids, triglycerides, deoxy-ribonucleic and ribonucleic acids, and many other compounds. For example, carbon dioxide produced in glycolysis is important in the acid-base balance of the body and in controlling respiration. Organic carbon-based trace minerals can only be obtained from humified and enriched soils over hundreds of years from once living plant matter slowly yielding living organic soil-based complexes in the soil.
After years of testing, Drucker Labs can state that the majority of trace mineral products in the marketplace (even those claiming “plant derived matter”) do NOT contain sufficient quantities of true organic carbon. They also lack other critical ingredients such as: methyls and methylene groups, aromatic protonatic compounds, hetero-cyclic compounds, carbonyl compounds, carboxylic compounds, quinone compounds, and ketone-ketene like compounds.
There are a couple of key reasons that most manufacturers are unable to create a true 100% organic microcomplexed product. First, the soils in which the plants were grown and extracted were most likely already depleted of their critical organic complexes and nutrients. Next, they do NOT take the necessary precautions and massive expenses to preserve (not destroy) the 100% organic microcomplexes and organic carbon in the process of extraction and manufacturing the product. It takes Drucker Labs a full 40-days to produce just one batch.
Understanding this concept is absolutely critical. This is because true organics (as listed above) are always present in Drucker Labs products. The exact compounds and elements are in synergistic amounts that match the makeup of our body and cells. Thus, there is an organic match from the organic living cells and tissues to the carbon-bond organic microcomplexed solution in each bottle. Each bottle contains carbon-bonded minerals, electrolytes and metalo-enzymes that can not be found in any other product we have found available in the marketplace.

Do I get enough organic minerals from my food?
No. Most of us get very few minerals and not nearly what our bodies require to function optimally. Each year, modern U.S. farming techniques have drastically increased the use of toxic chemicals, pesticides, and inorganic fertilizers.
The 74th U.S. Congress categorically declared that: 99% of Americans are deficient in organic trace minerals because modern “U.S. economic-based” farming and agricultural practices have destroyed our foods via eradication and near extinction of most critical, life sustaining organic complexes, trace minerals, and elements from our soils… unquestionably, these critical organic complexes and elements were at one time present in the soils before “U.S. economic-based” farming practices began in the mid 1930's.
Scientists believe that this “U.S. economic-based” farming has caused mass destruction of our soils. Generations to come will continue to suffer from:
- chronic mistreatment and mass over-farming techniques of the soils causing “hollow crops” that are missing extremely critical organic trace minerals and complexed nutrients
- they then produce “hollow foods”
- chronic ingestion and exposure to the inorganic toxic and chemically treated crops potentially causing further issues for generations to come
Unfortunately, what took mother nature thousands of years to give us, these agricultural practices have destroyed. Therefore, if we do not supplement our body every day with a true carbon-bond organic microcomplexed trace mineral solution naturally rich with fulvic acid, poly-electrolytes and metalo-enzymes then our body will be deprived of critical elements necessary to improve and sustain over-all health.

Do I need organic trace minerals?
Yes. Organic trace minerals are an essential key to sustaining as well as creating new life! Without them, vitamins and most other nutrients are not nearly as effective. Without organic minerals, cells cease to function properly, the immune system decays, the nervous system deteriorates, and the body begins to age more rapidly.
Organic trace minerals are critical to effectively maintain health regardless of one’s age.

How do I know if another company's products are organic?
Perhaps, the simplest way to find out if a mineral supplement product contains adequate amounts of organic carbon is to ask the company for a certified and signed Certificate of Analysis proving the presence of organic carbon and fulvic acid in optimal and synergistic amounts. Drucker Labs does have a certified and signed Certificate of Analysis.
