Minerals are the unsung heroes of our bodies and lives, often overlooked, but essential. Caroline Alan, also known as The Mineral Geek, is here to change that.

SUMMARY

Coming from a career in the corporate world, Caroline found herself struggling physically, mentally and energetically. During her journey back to health, Caroline encountered plant-based minerals and their incredible ability to support a return to natural balance in the body.

Because of her personal experience, Caroline delved deep into research on why minerals are important in human physiology and how they work in the body. This journey took her deep into microbiology, molecular biology, cellular biology, agricultural soil science and the study of plant decomposition. As a result of her research, Caroline has become devoted to educating people about the benefits of mineral replenishment and the specific efficacy of plant-based humic and fulvic substances.
