"Minerals" or "Dietary Minerals" are chemical elements that the human body and other living organisms require to live. Minerals, like Vitamins, are very essential to build and repair body tissues and are very vital to all physical and mental processes. They are as important as our need for oxygen to sustain life.
Some examples of minerals are calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, sodium and iodine.
Minerals are best supplied to our body by ingesting specific foods rich with mineral/s of interest. However, due to rampant use of fertilizers, pesticides, food additives and preservatives our foods now are deficient in minerals.
Daily insufficient intake of minerals, leads to declination of general health condition and development of chronic diseases such as Anemia (lack of iron), Rickets (lack of calcium), Goiter (lack of iodine), Diabetes (lack of vanadium and chromium), Heart disease (lack of magnesium and calcium), arthritis (lack of sulfur, calcium and boron), Stroke (lack of copper) and even the most dreaded disease Cancer.
To address the need for sufficient minerals intake, Food or Nutritional Supplements were introduced. Food or nutritional supplement is a preparation intended to supplement the diet and provide nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acid, or amino acids, that may be missing or may not be consumed in sufficient quantities in a person's diet.
