Without this you become chronically dehydrated, energy and immunity plummets, causing illness and aging (source).

Minerals promote immunity & suppress infection

Minerals are mostly antimicrobial to pathogens.

In their absence, the body cannot defend itself from microbial invasion (source).

Liver Detoxification

Both Phase I & II of liver dotoxification require adequate minerals.

HEALTHY bones

Calcium must be balanced with other minerals for optimal strength.

Energy metabolism

Proper metabolism requires proper mineral intake.

Hormone production

Hormones are the powerhouse of our biology. Minerals make them go.
