Multiminerals
Minerals are required by every living cell to maintain their functioning and structure. Minerals are needed to form blood and bone, to maintain a healthy nervous system and the regulation of muscle tone.
Like vitamins, minerals function as coenzymes and help the body to produce energy, grow and repair itself.
Minerals are natural elements found in the earth. Rock formations are made up of mineral salts (ie dolomite).
Minerals are commonly lost in the diet through modern intensive farming methods and over-manufactured processed foods. Also minerals can be unabsorbed due to other constituents of the diet, such as phytic acid which is found in plants.
Multiminerals are taken by people who want to safeguard themselves against mineral deficiencies. Commonly people who eat highly refined diets or vegetarians and vegans, may supplement with Multimineral preparations.
