Information:
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 related to proper
functioning of the heart and neuromuscular system.
Chromium, when complexed as the
Glucose Tolerance Factor, plays a role in the effectiveness of
insulin, the hormone responsible for blood sugar metabolism.
Copper aids iron absorption,
helping to form haemoglobin of red blood cells.
Copper also helps convert amino acids
into pigment, thereby adding colour to hair and skin.
Iodine is an essential
component of the thyroid hormone, thyroxine, which is the master
regulator of metabolism.
Iron acts with protein and
copper to make haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of red
blood cells.
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.
Manganese is an important activator of enzyme systems. It is
involved in protein synthesis and fatty acid metabolism. Manganese
is also necessary for normal skeletal development and pituitary
gland activity.
Selenium is an essential trace
mineral that works synergistically with vitamin E. As a constituent
of glutathione peroxidase, an antioxidant enzyme, selenium helps
neutralize the effects of free radicals within body tissue.
Zinc is an essential trace
mineral, important to help support the immune system. It is also a
component of insulin, body fluids, and many enzyme systems.

Important Notice Regarding
Supplementation
For many people, nutritional
supplementation can be an important and useful adjunct to a healthy
diet. However, by no means should supplementation be a substitute
for food and it should also be recognised that certain nutrients
should be used within the recommended guidelines so as to reduce the
possibility of toxicity or side effects.
This list is only offered as a general
guide and is not to be viewed as a definitive statement on the
subject of drug-nutrient interactions or toxicity.
Caution should always be used with
individuals who are taking any form of drug therapy.
Ongoing research will no doubt turn up
additional information on the relationship between optimum nutrient
intake and overdose. If in doubt consult either an authoritative
text such as Martindale, Merck Index or the Royal Pharmaceutical
Society.
The following may serve as a useful
guide to some of the more common contra-indications.
Calcium
Chromium
Iron
-
Iron
can accumulate in the system and long-term use should be
monitored.

motions.
Magnesium
-
Contra-indicated in kidney disease.
-

cause diarrhoea, nausea and sometimes headaches when taken in
large doses.
