Minerals
Minerals play a vital part in the proper functioning of the body. Minerals such as Calcium provide rigidity and strength to the skeletal system. Minerals also play major roles in enzyme systems, fluid balance and act with hormones, vitamins and other metabolic regulators.
While we have access to a full range of minerals (Calcium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium, Sodium and Zinc), only Calcium, Potassium and Sodium salts are available in these pack sizes.
