Because your body requires nearly two thirds of all the elements currently know to man in order to maintain health, keeping these minerals in balance is a complex yet incredibly vital task. The events of everyday demand a continual ingestion of minerals. Perhaps that living is why an estimated 90% of Americans suffer a mineral deficiency or imbalance.

Unfortunately in today's world, naturally occurring, nutrient-rich foods are becoming a thing of the past. Eons of vegetation growth and aggressive modern farming techniques have brought many of the earth's minerals to the surface where they have been washed away to the oceans.

Nutritional elements serve a variety of metabolic functions. As structural components, they are part of the skeletal system, vitamin B12, hemoglobin, and thyroid hormone. As cellular regulators, they are involved in nerve transmission, maintenance of cell membrane permeability, and regulation of osmotic pressure, water balance, and acid-base equilibrium.
