All plants need micronutrients known as trace minerals, or trace elements. Trace mineral soil additives help improve soil health and, by extension, human health. After all, our entire bodies rely on trace minerals (like iron, zinc, copper and manganese) to function properly.
Why rely on additives? Unfortunately, much of our soil has become depleted of minerals as a result of modern commercial farming practices. Single crops grown with synthetic fertilizers have led to the rapid demineralization of U.S. soil. As discussed in a previous blog post, some scientists claim that the average supermarket vegetable has 5% to 40% fewer micronutrients than vegetables that were grown 50 years ago!
Trace mineral additives, like all-natural Cascade Minerals, improve root formation, germination and crop yield. The resulting fruits and vegetables are healthier, better tasting, and more nutrient-dense. The effects on your body are profound.
Here are just a few ways that trace minerals affect your body:
- Help increase energy levels
- Promote the formation of red blood cells
- Help regulate blood sugar
- Support the immune system
- Help eliminate free radicals
- Help deliver oxygen to body’s cells
- Help nerves and muscles function properly
The list of benefits goes on and on. Clearly, trace minerals play a very important role in human health! Whether you are a backyard gardener or a commercial farmer, trace mineral soil additives are essential to growing food that not only satisfies, but also supports and sustains.

Known as “Nature’s Original Recipe,” Cascade Minerals is manufactured from volcanic basalt found in Central Oregon’s legendary Cascade Mountains. Massive stones are milled to produce a finely ground soil booster that releases naturally occurring minerals and trace elements to help your plants flourish.
