Minerals

Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a defined and predictable chemical composition and physical properties.

They are important for growth, metabolism, and the absorption of vitamins and other nutrients. They are also involved in the prevention and treatment of diseases, as well as in almost every biochemical process in the body.

Below, we show you all the information about each type of mineral:

Magnesium (Mg)

Function: Contributes to normal muscle and nervous system function, helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, supports energy production and takes part in more than 300 essential biochemical reactions in the body. It also contributes to the formation and maintenance of bones and teeth, helps regulate electrolyte balance and supports emotional well-being by influencing neurotransmitters associated with relaxation.

Copper (Cu)

Function: Contributes to the formation of collagen and connective tissue, supports cellular energy production and acts as an antioxidant by helping protect against oxidative damage. It also contributes to normal skin and hair pigmentation and to the maintenance of the immune system.

Calcium (Ca)

Function: Essential for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, it contributes to muscle contraction, blood clotting and nerve transmission. It also takes part in energy metabolism and contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes.

Zinc (Zn)

Function: Supports the immune system, acts as an antioxidant by helping protect cells from oxidative stress and contributes to protein synthesis and the normal maintenance of skin, nails and hair. It also contributes to cognitive function, fertility and hormonal regulation.

Iron (Fe)

Function: Essential for the formation of haemoglobin and the transport of oxygen in the blood, it helps reduce tiredness and fatigue and contributes to energy metabolism. It also contributes to normal cognitive function and the normal functioning of the immune system.

Chromium (Cr)

Function: Contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels by supporting insulin action and the metabolism of macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates and fats). It also supports energy production and may help with appetite control and weight management when combined with healthy habits.

Selenium (Se)

Function: Acts as a powerful antioxidant by contributing to the protection of cells from oxidative damage, supports the normal functioning of the immune system and contributes to normal thyroid hormone metabolism. It also helps maintain normal hair and nails and contributes to normal reproductive function.

Sodium (Na)

Function: Plays a key role in fluid and electrolyte balance, nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction. It helps maintain blood pressure and blood volume within normal ranges when consumed in appropriate amounts.

Boron (B)

Function: Although it is not officially recognised as an essential mineral, boron plays an important role in bone metabolism by supporting the use of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D. It also contributes to joint health, takes part in cognitive functions and may influence hormonal balance and the body's anti-inflammatory response.

Potassium (K)

Function: Contributes to normal muscle and nervous system function, helps regulate acid-base balance and supports blood pressure control by counteracting the effects of sodium. It also contributes to energy metabolism and the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system.

Iodine (I)

Function: Contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function, which are essential for regulating metabolism. It also contributes to cognitive function, supports energy production and contributes to normal growth and the proper development of the nervous system.
