Coming from a career in the corporate world, Caroline Alan found herself physically, mentally, and energetically depleted. As a mother and professional woman carrying the weight of multiple roles and expectations, she was often told her struggles were “just normal.” She refused to accept that answer.
Her search for true healing led her to plant-based minerals and with them, a profound return to balance in her own body. What began as a personal journey has grown into a mission: to help others understand the critical role minerals play in human physiology and why most of us are deficient.
Caroline’s research has taken her deep into microbiology, molecular and cellular biology, soil science, and the study of plant decomposition. Through this exploration, she has become a leading voice in the field of humic and fulvic mineral replenishment, making complex science accessible and practical. Today, she is devoted to educating people on how restoring minerals can support healing, hydration, energy, and optimal health.
