Mega Multi Mineral - 200ct

Although minerals are usually associated with strong teeth and bones, they can do much more than that. Apart from giving humans the support and shape of skeleton, minerals is certainly the spark of life. They are essential in the daily diet and each mineral plays unique and multifactorial roles in almost every part of the body; such as organs, tissues and cells. All body processes and functions rely on the minerals to stimulate enzymes which perform such functions.

Minerals are divided into two categories; trace elements and essential minerals. The essential minerals include iron (Fe), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), sulfur (S), phosphorous (Ph) and sodium (Na). Trace elements should be consumed in minute amounts. They include ,boron (B), copper [C], chromium (Cr), iodine (I), molybdenum (Mo), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), zinc (Zn) and silicon (Si).

Lack of proper mineral ratio may hinder the functions and properties of amino acids, vitamins and enzymes in the body. These elemental components play an integral role in every cell activity in the body. Cellular functions usually require a good chain of components that begin with minerals. Here are reasons why minerals are important for human health.

Mineral Benefits

• -Calcium: It helps to build strong teeth and bones. Calcium also plays an important role in the muscles and nervous system.
• -Chromium: It can help to increase the efficiency of insulin in metabolism. Therefore, you need to take foods containing chromium.
• -Copper: A combination of copper and vitamin C can heal wounds. Copper can also help in the production of blood cells.
• -Iodine: Intake of iodine can prevent goiter. The thyroid gland requires iodine in order to effectively perform its metabolic functions.
• -Iron: Iron is typically the most essential component of blood. It is an oxygen carrier that supplies oxygen to different body parts. Iron is also important in blood production.
• -Magnesium: It works as an intermediate in the utilization of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the body. Magnesium can help in controlling blood pressure thereby reducing the risks of heart attack, muscle cramps and bone disorders. It's also effective for menopause, diabetes and asthma.
• -Manganese: A combination of manganese and calcium is required for the generation of sex hormones as well as strengthening the skeletal system. Manganese also promotes body metabolism, brain function and good reproductive system. It prevents inflammation, fatigue, sprains, epilepsy and osteoporosis.
• -Molybdenum: It is essential in the transportation of iron from the human liver to the body.
• -Potassium: Potassium helps to build a healthy heart, nervous system, kidney and muscle.
• -Selenium: This mineral plays an integral role in maintaining artery and tissue elasticity.

From the aforementioned benefits, you can understand how minerals are important to the body. Mineral deficiency can cause acute or chronic conditions. Decrease of magnesium and potassium in the body can cause heart attacks. Minerals are essential in the prevention of goiter, osteoporosis, cancer, arthritis, periodontal disease, gastrointestinal problems and anemia. Minerals also help control body fluids in the cells. They assist in the conversion of food into energy.
