Over 36 years ago, the founder of Trace Minerals Research read a series of newspaper articles written by Dr. George W. Crane announcing such headlines as “The Ocean’s 44 Antidotes for Deficiency Ailments” and “Trace Chemicals Essential to the Body.”

The “Power” of Trace Minerals...

These articles piqued his interest with information about the amazing results people were receiving from drinking a little bit of sea water each day. This led him to research the Great Salt Lake, an inland sea located near his home. He found that the Great Salt Lake not only had the same minerals and balance discussed by George Crane, but that it was 6 to 10 times more concentrated than regular sea water without the pollution. He knew there was a need for these minerals and thus, the idea for a company was born. Yet it was not until he had tried the minerals himself and had seen results from other people that the company was established with initial product sales.

Science was slow to provide answers as to why the minerals from this desert sea caused such dramatic and varied results in people, but he knew from his growing stack of testimonials that the company’s first product, Inland Sea Water, was effective. He and his wife founded Trace Minerals Research in 1968 and started selling pure Great Salt Lake water to the public. A short time later they discovered how to use nature’s own processes to remove the sodium, thereby creating low-sodium, Concentrace® Trace Mineral Drops.

In 1999, three successful sales representatives of Trace Minerals Research partnered together to purchase TMR. Since the transfer of ownership, TMR has had double-digit growth every year and has added more than 35 products to its product line, including the addition of the Liquimins™ line of cutting edge liquid supplements. Because of TMR’s current research and commitment to producing the highest quality products on the market, it plans to continue its unparalleled growth into the future.

Trace Minerals Research was founded on the principle that nutritional supplements should get results and that if a customer does not actually feel an improvement in their health, they should not have to pay for it. This principle is still the foundation of the TMR philosophy.

The Great Salt Lake of UTAH

Utah’s Great Salt Lake, where TraceMinerals Research harvests Low Sodium ConcenTrace® Trace Mineral Drops, is the largest body of concentrated sea water in the world and is particularly rich in certain minerals and trace minerals like magnesium, selenium, lithium, and boron which are vitally important to human health. “The Great Salt  Lake [has] concentrated many of  the same minerals found in the sea through geothermal and  evaporative processes. These natural sources of the elements can provide a rich source of minerals compatible to human physiological needs.” Also, because of it’s high concentration, the dynamic equilibrium has caused the  Great Salt Lake to be  uniquely low in certain toxic, heavy metals: ... The total soluble concentrations of heavy metals in the water are extremely low. The heavy metals in the lake, along with clays, organic materials and carbonates, are precipitating to the sediments and deep brines where anaerobic conditions and sulfide formed by sulfate reducing bacteria immobilize the metals.  The lake thus avoids accumulation of heavy metals in the lake waters and is non-toxic and self-cleansing.. The unique saline condition of [the] Great Salt Lake determines the precipitation and immobilization of heavy metals in the lake.¹*
