Minerals are among the most important elements needed by the body. They are directly and indirectly involved in every bodily and skin process. Along with amino acids (protein), minerals are the basic building blocks of every cell in the body. RNA/DNA, the blueprints to each cell, does not function properly without certain minerals. Enzymes will not form nor function properly without the minerals they require to do so. Minerals are also required for the correct composition and ratio of body fluids, the formation of both our blood and our bones and the creation and maintenance of healthy nerve function.
