Why We Need Vitamins and Minerals
As important as vitamins are, they can do nothing for you without minerals. Vitamins cannot be assimilated without the aid of minerals. And though the body can manufacture a few vitamins, it cannot manufacture a single mineral.
All tissues and internal fluids of our body contain varying quantities of minerals. Minerals are constituents of the bones, teeth, soft tissue, muscle, blood, and nerve cells. They are vital to the support and maintenance of health. Minerals act as catalysts for many biological reactions within the body, including muscle response, the transmission of messages through the nervous system, the production of hormones, digestion and the utilization of nutrients in foods.
Iodine
Vital for supporting and maintaining healthy thyroid function, which in turn is essential for health.
Potassium
A mineral which assists in muscle contraction and in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in body cells. Potassium is also important in sending nerve impulses as well as releasing energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrates during metabolism.
Trace Minerals
Minerals that occur in tiny amounts or traces. They play a major role in supporting and maintaining health. They are essential in the assimilation and utilization of vitamins and other nutrients. They support healthy digestion and provide the catalyst for many hormones, enzymes and essential body functions and reactions. They also help support the proper replacment of electrolytes lost through normal activites.
