Essential nutrients

Feeding your body properly and providing it with vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients is very important for your health and well-being.

The body needs over 70 minerals and trace minerals to carry out all necessary bodily processes. Minerals have many functions in the body: they are used to produce energy and to regulate body systems; they are ionized in the body fluids or bound in organic compounds to form molecules, such as phospholipids, hormones, enzymes and other functional proteins. Human body is approximately 18.5% carbon, a primary component of all organic molecules. Generally minerals make up about 4% of the body by weight, with calcium and phosphorus (as bone salts supporting the body framework or skeleton structure) accounting for about three-quarters of this amount. www.hapyou.webnode.c­om
