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.
