Collection: Minerals

Minerals are specific kinds of nutrients that your body needs in order to function properly. Mineral deficiencies occur when your body doesn’t obtain or absorb the required amount of a mineral.

Our bodies require different amounts of each mineral each day to stay healthy.

Minerals can be obtained from food, mineral supplements, and food products that have been fortified with extra minerals.A deficiency can often happen slowly over time and can be caused by a number of reasons; an increased need for the mineral, lack of the mineral in the diet, or difficulty absorbing the mineral from food are some of the more common reasons.

Mineral deficiencies can lead to a variety of health problems. The ideal way to determine if you have a specific deficiency is by being tested by your Dr. or a certified Nutritionist.
