Minerals That Matter
Our purpose is simple: to help people rediscover the importance of minerals in everyday wellbeing. For more than 50 years, we’ve focused on making essential minerals more accessible, supporting individuals on their journey to feel balanced, nourished, and at their best.
What are minerals?
Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic elements found in nature. They play important roles in supporting normal bodily functions and overall wellbeing.
What are some signs you may not be getting enough minerals?
Possible indicators may include low energy, muscle tightness, changes in digestion, or dry skin and hair. These can also relate to other factors, so it’s best to seek professional advice if you’re unsure.
How are vitamins and minerals different?
Both are essential micronutrients, but they come from different sources. Vitamins are created by plants or animals (for example, oranges provide vitamin C), while minerals originate from the earth, soil, and water (such as magnesium found in seawater). Both work together to support general health.
What do minerals do in the body?
Minerals act as structural and functional contributors throughout the body. They support processes such as bone formation, nerve activity, muscle movement, and many chemical reactions needed for normal functioning.
Can trace minerals have side effects?
When taken within recommended amounts, trace minerals are typically well tolerated. However, taking too much may lead to unwanted effects, so following guidance is important.
Who may benefit from trace minerals?
Everyone needs trace minerals to support normal bodily processes. People with increased demands, such as athletes, individuals with limited dietary variety, or during certain life stages, may pay particular attention to their mineral intake. Seek professional advice if unsure about your needs.
What is the most common mineral deficiency?
Iron deficiency is commonly reported worldwide, particularly among young children and women. Because iron needs vary by individual, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional before supplementing.
When is a good time to take trace minerals?
Trace minerals can be taken at any point during the day. Having them with food may also support overall nutrient intake.
Which foods provide trace minerals?
Foods such as leafy greens, legumes, nuts, seeds, seafood, whole grains, and lean meats naturally contain trace minerals and can help contribute to a balanced intake.
