| What is it? | |
|
One of the
MINERALS the body needs in minute quantities to produce some of the
enzymes required for efficient metabolism. Nickel interacts with more than a
dozen other minerals in the body and too little of it can stunt growth and
curtail blood formation and upset the balance of
IRON,
COPPER and
ZINC in the liver. Good sources of nickel are dried peas and beans,
whole grains, nuts and — hooray! — chocolate. As with other heavy metals,
nickel can be toxic (too much of it damages all vital organs — brain, heart,
kidneys, liver and lungs). But nickel buildup is more apt to come from
industrial fallout (chemical pollutants) than from eating. Standard Process™ Supplements Allorganic Trace Minerals B12, Catalyn, Cyrofood Tablets, Min Tran. |
