Minerals
Minerals are the inorganic elements which comprise part of the body. They
contribute from 60% to 80% of all the inorganic material in the human body. The
trace elements make up the remainder. Minerals and trace elements serve as vital
catalysts for the biological reactions that take place within the body. They are
found, for example, in bones, teeth and soft tissues. They are needed for the
production of blood, hormones and enzymes, thus serving a life sustaining
function.
The
absorption of minerals and trace elements (excluding electrolytes) is generally
less efficient than that of other nutrients. The term “bioavailability”
refers to the degree to which a particular nutrient is available for use in the
body. There are many factors which influence bioavailability including the
compound form of the mineral or trace element.
Calcium
is the most abundant mineral in the body. Its primary function – in
cooperation with phosphorus – is to help build and maintain bones and teeth.
Calcium aids the blood-clotting process and helps control the passage of fluids
through cells. Calcium is also is related to proper functioning of the heart and
neuromuscular system.
Magnesium
is involved in muscle contraction and nerve function. At least half of the
magnesium in the body is combined with calcium and phosphorus in bones. The
remainder is in soft tissues including red blood cells and muscles.
