Minerals of the add·on product line
Minerals are essential nutrients which the body needs in small amounts in order to function properly. They are divided into trace elements, bulk elements and electrolytes. Trace elements such as zinc, selenium and iodine are required in very small quantities, while bulk elements such as magnesium and calcium are required in larger quantities. Electrolytes, which include sodium and potassium, are important for maintaining fluid balance in the body. Magnesium plays a role in muscle and nerve function, zinc supports the immune system, selenium protects cells from oxidative stress, and iodine is crucial for thyroid function. Chromium helps regulate blood sugar levels, copper supports iron transport in the body and manganese contributes to bone health.
