About the Mineral
About Orykta®
Orykta® is a mined composite mix comprised of a rich blend of micro and macro mineral elements, intrinsically buffered for easy assimilation by both plants and animals – and it is naturally free of toxic substances and does not contain harmful levels heavy metals. While it is used effectively in plant and animal production, both as nutrient supplement consumed directly and as a soil reclaiming agent, Orykta® has additional applications in aquaculture and in producing pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. It is the product of prehistoric volcanic activity and is known to be found only at one mine site in the Walker River Valley of Nevada near the Sierras. The deposits are uniform throughout, meaning Orykta® can be mined and prepared as a product cost effectively. Nothing is added to the finished Orykta® product – it comes out of the ground in near perfect form. While other mineral-rich volcanic substances do exist and are used in agriculture, no other product is known to occur naturally that has the superb qualities in form and content as that of Orykta®.
Orykta® contains all eight of the commonly recognized essential micronutrients for crop and soil health – iron, copper, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, chlorine, nickel and boron – plus an amalgam of other minerals that are uniformly present throughout the deposit.
