Minerals



Calcium

Function

The Ca2+ ion acts as an electrolyte and is vital to the health of the muscular, circulatory, and digestive systems; is indispensable to the building of bone; and supports synthesis and function of blood cells.

Benefit

- Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth
- Reduces the risk of osteoporosis working with Vitamin D3 and regular exercise

Found In

Calcium is usually found in milk, cheese, yogurt, and beans.

Synergy with Other Actives

Vitamin D increases calcium absorption. Potassium enhances calcium reabsorption.

Iron

Function

Iron is a mineral that our body needs for growth and development. We use iron to make hemoglobin and myoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to all over the body and myoglobin carries oxygen specifically to muscles.

Benefit

- Restores low iron levels
- Helps alleviate symptoms of iron deficiency (tiredness and fatigue) and iron deficiency anemia

Found In

Iron is naturally abundant in red meat, pork, poultry, seafood and beans.

Synergy with Other Actives

Iron is needed to convert beta carotene into retinol. Vitamin C increases absorption of iron from plant-based foods.

Potential Inhibitors

Calcium can inhibit iron absorption. Zinc and iron interact competitively in the intestinal absorption.

Magnesium

Function

Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body.

Benefit

- Maintains the energy production, oxidative phosphorylation, and glycolysis
- Supports DNA and RNA synthesis
- Contributes to the structural development of bone
- Supports the process of nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction, and normal heart rhythm

Found In

Magnesium can be found in green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

Synergy with Other Actives

Magnesium works with Vitamin B6 to increase absorption of both nutrients. Magnesium is a cofactor for the biosynthesis, transport, and activation of Vitamin D. Magnesium is required to convert thiamin to its biologically active form.

Selenium

Function

Selenium is an essential component of several enzymes and proteins that help synthesize DNA and protect against cell damage and infections.

Benefit

- Supports healthy reproduction function
- Maintains thyroid gland function
- Supports DNA synthesis

Found In

Selenium is usually found in seafood, meat, and bread.

Synergy with Other Actives

Adequate levels of both iodine and selenium are necessary for the metabolism of thyroid hormones.

Featured Products

Zinc

Function

Zinc is involved in many aspects of cellular metabolism. For example, zinc is required for the catalytic activity of hundreds of enzymes, and it plays a role in enhancing immune function, protein and DNA synthesis, wound healing, and cell signaling and division.

Benefit

- Supports healthy growth and development during pregnancy, infancy, childhood, and adolescence
- Maintains immune function

Found In

Zinc usually exists in meat, fish, and seafood.

Synergy with Other Actives

Zinc is involved with Vitamin A transport in the body.

Potential Inhibitors

Zinc and iron interact competitively in the intestinal absorption.
