Minerals are essential compounds

for a variety of cellular processes of
the body. Without minerals, your body
may not be functioning properly.
Minerals also play an important role in
the structural formation of hard tissue
and soft, work enzyme system, muscle
contraction and nerve responses as well
as in blood clotting.

In addition, minerals also act as:

Material jar body shaper, bones,
teeth (Ca, P), hair, nails, skin (S),
red blood cell (Fe).
Materials acidity regulator and the
exchange of body fluids, blood
clotting process (Ca), the
sensitivity of nerve and muscle
contraction (Ca, K, Na).
Part of an enzyme or hormone (Mg,
P, S, Y).

Minerals are divided

into two groups

MACRO MINERALS

Macrominerals are minerals that the body

needs in large enough quantities.
Macrominerals needed by the number of>
100 mg per day.
Included in the class macrominerals
include sodium, calcium, chlorine, iodine,
phosphorus, magnesium, iron, iodine and
potassium.

Sodium
Sodium is a mineral salt forming in the
body and the conduction of impulses in nerve
fibers and osmotic pressure on the cells that
maintain fluid balance of cells with fluid
around it.

Calcium
Calcium is a mineral that has a
function in the form of bones and teeth.
Additionally responsible for muscle
contraction, nerve impulses, heart
activity, and blood clots.

Chlorine
Chlor use our bodies to form HCl or
hydrochloric acid in the stomach. HCl has usability
kill germs germs in the stomach and also activates
pepsinogen
into
pepsin.

Iodine

Iodine plays an important role to help

the development of intelligence or intelligence
in children. Iodine can also petrified prevent
mumps, mumps or mumps. Iodine is used to
form a tyrosine substance that forms in the
thyroid gland.

Phosphorus
Phosphorus also serves for the
formation of bones and teeth form.

Magnesium
Magnesium supports bone structure,
the liver, keeping the body alkaline
balance. Function or usefulness of
magnesium is a substance that forms red
blood cells in the form of oxygen and
hemoglobin binding agent.

Iron
Iron is essential for the formation of hemoglobin,
the
oxygen
transport.

Iodine
Iodine serves as the regulatory use
of oxygen.

Potassium
Potassium we need as
activity of the heart muscle.

MICRO MINERALS

Microminerals are minerals that are

needed in very small amounts.
Micro minerals needed by the number of
<100 mg per day.
Included in microminerals include copper,
cobalt, manganese, zinc, sodium, and
sulfur.

Copper
Copper on the human body useful as a
shaper of hemoglobin in red blood cells.

Cobalt
Cobalt has a function to form blood
vessels as well as builders of vitamin B12
in the body.

Manganese

Manganese serves to regulate the

growth of our body and reproductive
system.

Zinc

Zink serves as custodian of several types

of enzymes, hormones and activities of our
sense of taste or tongue. It also plays a role in
protein synthesis, transport of carbon dioxide,
affect
sexual
function,
carbohydrate
metabolism, wound healing

Sodium

Sodium is useful to maintain electrolyte

balance, body fluid volume, and nerve impulses.

Sulfur

Sulfur as a substance that has a function

in the form of proteins in the body.
