Mineral Resources International

Mineral Resources International (MRI) is a third-generation, family-owned and operated business headquartered in Ogden, Utah, with over five decades of experience harvesting nutritional minerals from the Great Salt Lake. Founded in 1969, the company has established itself as a pioneer and worldwide leader in seawater minerals, supplying high-quality ionic mineral ingredients to manufacturers, supplement brands, and functional food and beverage companies globally.

Operating from a cGMP-certified facility, MRI extracts mineral-rich brines from the pristine northern shores of the Great Salt Lake — a remnant of the prehistoric Lake Bonneville — using an entirely natural, solar evaporation process. This method concentrates inherent magnesium while allowing sodium to precipitate out, resulting in exceptionally pure mineral solutions marketed under the SolarSea® branded ingredient line. The process involves no irradiation, no dyes, no preservatives, and no added sugars, preserving the mineral composition exactly as found in nature.

MRI offers its ingredients in both liquid and powder forms, available in bulk quantities suitable for B2B procurement. Liquid products are available in 1-gallon, 5-gallon, 15-gallon, 30-gallon, and 55-gallon barrels, as well as 275-gallon totes. Powder products are available in 5kg, 25kg, and 500kg tote sizes. Both product lines can be shipped domestically and internationally via air, sea, or ground transportation, with insurance options available for added protection.

The company's ingredient portfolio is well-suited for a broad range of applications including dietary supplements, functional foods, beverages, hydration products, fasting applications, and muscle function support. All ingredients are certified or compliant with organic food and supplement applications, and are suitable for Kosher, Vegan, Halal, Keto, Vegetarian, and Paleo dietary requirements. Products are also non-GMO, non-irradiated, gluten-free, and carry GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status.

Quality assurance is a central pillar of MRI's operations. Every batch undergoes rigorous potency and purity testing conducted both by an in-house quality department and an independent, ISO-accredited third-party laboratory, ensuring clients receive ingredients that consistently meet strict standards for purity and efficacy.

Beyond bulk ingredient supply, MRI offers a private label program, enabling business clients to launch their own branded mineral products with confidence. With expertise spanning functional medicine, exercise science, nutrition, and nutraceutical formulation, the company is positioned to support brands looking to differentiate themselves in the competitive health and wellness market.
