Benefits of Minerals:
-
Optimal Bioavailability of Essential Minerals: Minerals offer a naturally balanced composition of macrominerals, microminerals, and ultratrace elements in their most bioavailable form. This ensures that the body can efficiently absorb and utilize these nutrients, supporting various vital physiological functions. Studies have shown that bioavailability of minerals significantly impacts their effectiveness in supporting metabolic and cellular processes (Liu et al., 2018).
-
Support for Metabolism and Energy Production: Minerals are integral to numerous biochemical reactions, including energy production and metabolic regulation. Trace minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium play critical roles in enzyme activation and cellular energy production. Adequate mineral intake supports the body’s metabolic pathways, promoting energy, vitality, and efficient function (Stryer, 2002).
-
Tissue Repair and Growth: Minerals such as zinc, magnesium, and calcium are essential for tissue growth, repair, and regeneration. These nutrients aid in collagen synthesis, bone mineralization, and cellular repair processes. Deficiencies in essential minerals can slow down these processes, leading to impaired tissue health (Chrysafides et al., 2020).
-
pH Balance and Acid-Base Homeostasis: The minerals contribute to maintaining the body's optimal pH level. Proper pH balance is crucial for enzyme function, nutrient absorption, and the prevention of chronic diseases. A balanced pH environment supports overall health by reducing the risk of acidosis and promoting cellular function (Chavez et al., 2016).
-
Protection Against Contaminants: Minerals are sourced from deep below the ocean’s surface, enriched with glacial milk, ensuring they are free from common environmental pollutants such as herbicides, pesticides, and heavy metals. This purity helps mitigate the risk of toxic exposure from contaminated food and water sources. Studies have shown that environmental contaminants can significantly affect mineral levels in the body, potentially leading to nutrient imbalances and health issues (Borgmann et al., 2021).
-
Combating Mineral Deficiency: With 98% of Americans being deficient in vital trace minerals (Burt et al., 2016), the inclusion of Minerals provides a natural and effective solution to replenish these essential nutrients. Correcting mineral deficiencies can enhance overall health, immune function, and well-being.
