Natural products of mineral origin

Massimiliano Laudato et al. Nat Prod Commun. 2013 Mar.

Abstract

Natural products of mineral origin (alum, bismuth, calcium, magnesium, silicates and zinc compounds) have maintained their popularity as drugs over the course of time. Some evidence still suggests potential benefit of these substances. Therefore, this paper reviews the characteristic features of the respective minerals and their salts along the course of studies on these products.
