Description

Bittern is a concentrate of seawater condensed by one thirtieth to one fortieth by volume. It contains, therefore, most of the minerals dissolved in seawater. But constituents and their contents are a little changed by depending on producing methods. What kinds of constituents in bittern are useful for human body as a supplement of minerals? Only major minerals such as magnesium, calcium and potassium are useful as nutrients of minerals. Many other minor minerals are not enough included to be useful for human body. Common bittern has little calcium, but the bittern made by ionexchange membrane electrodialysis method has calcium and more potassium than common bittern. So the former is superior to the later as supplement of minerals. One milliliter of the former bittern can supplement twenty and ten percent of magnesium and potassium intake needed in a day, respectively. Toshio, HASHIMOTO
