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.

Fatty acids, like those found in fish oils support the body's maintenance of blood lipids, support the formation of healthy cell membranes, the maintenance of healthy muscles, the maintenance of healthy joints and the promotion of normal circulatory health and therefore are very important for body health.

Vitamins form another major group of essential nutrients necessary for good health. They have a wide range of action and help support the health of each organ of the body as well as proper body functions. Some vitamins also act as powerful antioxidants neutralizing free radicals and protecting cells from the free radicals damage.

Although nutritionists agree food is the best source of nutrients, trying to meet your daily needs through diet alone can often be difficult. Most commercially grown plants don't have lots of minerals and vitamins anymore because many soils have been depleted of minerals and many vitamins are lost during transportation and storage. Heavy use of chemicals makes it even worse. This can result in gap between the vitamins and minerals your body needs to maintain good health and what it is getting. Without proper nutrition the body weakens and cannot resist illness and disease effectively. Therefore, supplementing the diet with vitamins and minerals is of prime importance.
