Our formulation for Quint-Essence contains many nutrients, digestion aides, a blend of 44 greens, as well as our Tracite. This combination, is, in essence, a "multi-vitamin". A multivitamin/mineral supplement is defined in the United States as a supplement containing 3 or more vitamins and minerals that does not include herbs, hormones, or drugs, where each vitamin and mineral is included at a dose below the tolerable upper level, as determined by the Food and Drug Board, and does not present a risk of adverse health effects. The terms multi-vitamin and multi-mineral are often used interchangeably. There is no scientific definition for either.
Our product not only contains vitamins AND minerals, but also digestive aids, our blend of 44 greens for pH balancing action, and our Tracite, a trace mineral Fulvic Acid powder that aids in the absorption of all nutrients provided in this formula. We believe that this is a formula that can be used on a daily basis, in order to provide the essential nutrients your body needs. This will take the place of a multi-vitamin. However, if you are aware of personal deficiencies in a specific vitamin or mineral, please take the adequate supplements in order to insure proper levels are reached.

The only difference, aside from dosage size, is the palatability of the product. We recommend that children, as well as others with palates that do not enjoy a "green" flavor, to continue use of the vegi-caps.
The "green" flavor of the powder form is due to the combination of natural vitamins and minerals, as well as the 44 green blend. This product is easily consumed with water or lemon/lime juice. You can also add it into your meal by either mixing it with yogurt or oatmeal, sprinkling it on salads, or mixing it in with your meal in anyway you feel works best.

If you happen to lose your scoop provided with the Quint-Essence powder, you may use a teaspoon measuring cup. One teaspoon of powder, per meal, per 200 lbs of body weight. You may adjust accordingly, if you are on the lighter side of 200 lbs, you may use a little less. If you eat a big meal in the morning, and a small meal in the evening, you may want to use less in the evening.

We own and operate our own mineral mine where we harvest our Fulvic Trace Minerals. It is located in the South Central United States. We purchased this mine after our tests revealed that the minerals contained in the shale had a higher naturally occurring fulvic acid and mineral content than anything else on the market. Tracite™ is the trademarked name of this product. Fulvic acid has the ability to carry sixty times its own weight in nutrients into the cells of any biological system. When you combine these fulvic minerals with enzymes you get a delivery system second to none.  Digestive enzymes help the overall absorption of nutrients, as well as providing digestive aid. Most of our formulas contain this delivery system, so you get more for your money, and your health!
