Calcium (Ca)
Calcium is the most important and plentiful mineral in
the body which needs it to build and repair bones and
teeth, help nerves function, make muscles contract, clot
blood, and allow proper function of the heart. Almost
all of the calcium in the body is stored in bone. The
rest is found in the blood.

Copper (Cu)
IIt is a constituent of cytochrome oxidase and component
of many enzymes like ascorbic acid oxidase, phenolase,
lactase, etc. It also promotes formation of vitamin A
in plants.
|
 |
Folic Acid (B9)
Folic acid is one of eight water-soluble B vitamins that
helps the body to convert carbohydrates into glucose which
is "burned" to produce energy. It plays an important
role in maintaining muscle tone along the lining of the
digestive tract and promoting the health of the nervous
system, skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver. Pregnancy
can put a woman at risk for folic acid deficiency as the
fetus easily depletes a mother's nutrient reserves.

 |
Thiamin (B1)
Thiamin (Vitamin B1) plays a very important role in maintaining
energy levels by converting Carbohydrate into Glucose
for energy which is used by every single cell of the body.
|
 |
Riboflavin
Riboflavin is made up of two enzymes called flavin mononucleotide
and flavin adenine dinucleotide which are important in
energy production. These coenzymes work as catalysts in
the electron transport system, which result in the formation
of a primary energy currency in the cell, called adenosine
triphosphate. It is also essential in the making of fatty
and amino acid, thereby helpful in the treatment of anemia.

 |
Pautothemic Acid (B5)
Pantothenic acid is an essential nutrient in human nutrition.
and is involved in a number of biological reactions, including
the production of energy, the catabolism of fatty and
amino acids, the synthesis of fatty acids, phospholipids,
sphingolipids, cholesterol and steroid hormones, and the
synthesis of heme and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

 |
Zinc
Zinc helps with the healing of wounds and is a vital component
of many enzyme reactions. Particularly important for healthy
skin it is essential for a healthy immune system and resistance
to infection. Zinc plays a crucial role in growth and
cell division, in insulin activity, in the metabolism
of the ovaries and testes and in liver function.
|
 |
Niacin (B3)
Niacin helps the body to convert carbohydrates into glucose
which is "burned" to produce energy and is essential
in the breakdown of fats and protein. It plays an important
role in maintaining muscle tone along the digestive tract,
promoting the health of the nervous system, skin, hair,
eyes, mouth, and liver, ridding the body of toxic and
harmful chemicals, improving circulation and reducing
cholesterol levels in the blood.
|
 |
Pyridoxine (B6)
Pyridoxine helps the body to convert carbohydrates into
glucose which is "burned" to produce energy.
Essential in the metabolism of fats and protein it plays
an important role in maintaining muscle tone in the gastrointestinal
tract and promoting the health of the nervous system,
skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver.

 |
Phosphorus
Phosphorus is needed for healthy bones and teeth, energy
metabolism, and acidbase balance in the body.
|
|
Potassium
Potassium is essential for maintaining proper fluid balance,
nerve impulse function, muscle function, cardiac (heart
muscle) function.
|
|
Magnesium
Magnesium is one of the most abundant minerals in the
body and is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions.
It is required for protein and nucleic acid synthesis,
the cell cycle, cytoskeletal and mitochondrial integrity
and the binding of substances to the plasma membrane.
|
 |
Iron (Fe)
Iron (Fe) is a necessary mineral for the proper function
of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries
oxygen. It is also needed for proper muscle and organ
function.
