MINERALS
Minerals are
inorganic substances that cannot be synthesised by our bodies, making
the body reliant upon the dietary intake. Minerals actively
participate in regulating a wide range of physiological functions,
including transporting oxygen to cells and in the general upkeep of
the central nervous system. Minerals are also required for growth,
maintenance, repair and the health of bones and tissues.
The
nutritional value of minerals is every bit as important to us as
vitamins yet today’s highly processed foods coupled with the
depletion of mineral levels in the soil arising from intensive
farming practices can lead to shortfalls of these elements in our
daily diet. It’s becoming increasingly evident from UK dietary
surveys that a worryingly large proportion of adults and children are
failing to achieve the recommended daily targets for a range of
minerals and trace elements.
Essential
Vitamins UK offers a wide selection of single minerals and
combination formulas. We use fine grade mineral compounds to increase
solubility and always quote the actual elemental weight of the
mineral present as opposed to the weight of the compound.
