Table 1 Mineral composition of Sierrasil and the expected intake at the low (2 g/day) and high (3 g/day) doses. Mineral bioavailability in the various forms has not been established but data on acid liberalization suggest that for some minerals the dose available for absorption may be as low as < 0.1%.
