Minerals are inorganic substances that are also necessary for the proper functioning of the body and for the formation of bones , teeth , blood cells , enzymes , hormones , the nervous system , and the immune system . At Nutraday, you will find minerals in different forms and dosages to suit your needs.
Minerals are divided into two types: macrominerals and trace elements . Macrominerals are minerals that the body needs in amounts greater than 100 mg per day , such as calcium , magnesium , phosphorus , sodium , potassium , chlorine , and sulfur .
Trace elements are minerals that the body needs in amounts less than 100 mg per day, such as iron , zinc , copper , manganese , chromium , selenium , iodine , fluorine , cobalt , molybdenum , and others.
Minerals must be obtained from food or dietary supplements , as the body cannot produce them on its own. Lack of minerals can cause various health problems , such as disorders of bones , teeth , blood pressure , heart rhythm , convulsions , anemia , immunity , metabolism , growth , development , fertility or psyche .
Excess minerals can also be harmful , especially trace elements that can accumulate in the body and cause toxicity . Therefore, it is important to follow the recommended daily doses of minerals and not to abuse dietary supplements.
