Minerals form an essential part of a nutritionally balanced and healthy diet that keeps the body functioning at peak performance. The health benefits provided by minerals, whether major minerals – calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium – or trace minerals – chromium, copper, fluoride, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium and zing – are crucial for a wide range of bodily functions. From cardiovascular health to the strength of bones and joints, minerals are a very important source of nutrients that should be a part of any supplementation regiment.
Benefits:
*Supports overall health and wellbeing
*Strengthens the heart, bones, teeth, and joints
*Improves immune and nervous system functions
*Enhances metabolic and digestive processes
The nutrients that make up the major mineral group are necessary for many processes in the body:
Calcium is widely recognized as a preventative measure against osteoporosis, is necessary for strong bones and teeth, and plays an important role in blood clotting, muscle contraction, hormonal secretion and normal nervous system functions. Chloride is important for healthy digestive functions in the stomach, ensuring production of digestive juices and helping the body maintain fluid balance.
Magnesium is a vital mineral required for hundreds of biochemical reactions, normal muscle and nerve functions, a healthy cardiovascular system, strong bones, and a proper functioning immune system. Phosphorus plays an important role in many biochemical reactions that convert foods into energy, and also helps with muscle contraction, nerve conduction and normal kidney function.
Sodium is found in the fluid surrounding the cells and is used to regulate blood pressure and pH balance. Muscles and nervous system functions also need sodium to function effectively.
Trace minerals are essential for good bodily health, but they are referred to as trace minerals because only small amounts are needed to keep the immune system, energy levels, metabolism, and antioxidant properties working.
Iron works with red blood cell production and energy production. Zinc improves immune system functions and is important for growth and bodily development. Copper is a vital trace mineral in terms of the healing process, and manganese regulates blood sugar and aids the immune system. Selenium functions as an antioxidant and protects the immune system, while iodine assists in metabolizing fat and helps with mental development.
