We hear a lot about taking a multivitamin, but what about minerals?
Minerals are the spark plugs to health! Minerals perform so many actions in our body, such as cofactors for enzyme reactions, maintaining pH balance, nutrient transfer across cell membranes, proper nerve function, contract and relax muscles and regulate tissue growth. We always hear about magnesium big here are some other wonderful minerals important for our body:
*There are 120+ ionic trace minerals that are needed to be in balance for a healthy immune system and body!
1. Calcium - important for bones, teeth, our nervous system, our heart and muscle growth
2. Phosphorous - important for bone growth, kidney function and cell growth
3. Potassium - important for nerve signaling, thyroid balance, blood pressure and fluid balance
4. Magnesium - involved in nearly 300 enzymatic processes in the body (cramps and poor sleep are also linked to this deficiency)
5. Sulfur - helps protect our body from infection, slows down aging and is a building block of cell membranes
6. Sodium - important for water balance, muscle contraction and acid-alkaline balance
7. Chloride - needed for proper HCL (helps our stomach acid) production
