and it is the most common vitamin deficiency. Its primary function is to
work with other substances to metabolize carbohydrates, proteins, and fats
for energy. It has a profound effect on thyroid hormone production, helps in
the production of immune cells to fight infection, and aids in transporting
oxygen to cells in the body.

Витамин C
A potent antioxidant that may prevent premature death from heart disease and cancer. A vital
protector of cells. Plays a primary role in collagen formation, which is essential for the growth
and reparation of tissue cells, gums, blood vessels, teeth, and bones. Due to its mild antihistamine
effects, Vitamin C also strengthens immunity and helps to minimize and/or prevent colds.

Calcium
Calcium is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth and in the human body. It plays important roles
in signaling biochemical processes in cells, controlling muscle contractions, and building bones.
Our skeletal system stores 99% of the body's Calcium while the remaining 1% floats in the blood stream.
Calcium is integral in maintaining skeletal strength and providing structure to bones and teeth. It also
plays a crucial role in the transmission of nerve impulses, muscle fiber contractions, and coagulation of blood.
It is also essential to help heal wounds and maintain healthy cell membranes.

Copper
Copper is the third most abundant trace mineral in the body. Copper serves an important role as a cofactor
for enzymes involved in hemoglobin and collagen formation and is involved in incorporating iron into the
structure of hemoglobin. Copper works in partnership with iron to make red blood cells and is the major component
of the outer coating of nerve fibers and collagen.

Magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral that is abundantly found in nature. The human body contains about 1 ounce of magnesium
comprised mostly in the bones. It is one of the most important anti-aging minerals and aids in the absorption of
Calcium and Vitamin C in the body. It helps convert blood sugar into energy and helps to regulate nerve and muscle functions.

Potassium
Potassium is the third most abundant mineral in the body and is located inside muscle cells. Potassium is
considered an electrolyte . It assists in muscle contractions and helps maintain the appropriate levels of
fluid along with the proper electrolyte balance in cells. It is very important in maintaining a
normal heartbeat and heart rhythm.

,
Phosphorus
The second most abundant mineral in the body. Approximately 85% of all phosphorus is found in the bones.
The remaining 15% is found in the blood and fluid in and around cells. The main use for phosphorous in the
body is to aid in the strengthening of bones and teeth. However, phosphorus is used by almost every cell in
the body. It is involved in almost all physiological chemical reactions in the body.

Selenium
Selenium is a mineral and important nutrient that helps to fight diseases like heart disease and cancer. Selenium
works best when paired with Vitamin E. Selenium is an antioxidant that helps slow down aging by oxidation. Approximately
half of the body's selenium in males is found in the testes and the ducts surrounding the prostate gland.
Selenium helps detoxify toxic metals in the body such as mercury and arsenic.

Zinc
Zinc is probably the most versatile mineral in the body. It helps maintain a strong immune system to fight colds and
flu, helps to heal wounds, fuels DNA production, and helps create the proper function of the male reproduction system.

Iron
Iron is one of the most essential minerals needed. It is present in every cell in the human body and is needed for
the production of hemoglobin. Deficiencies in iron are common in women. Iron is very important to many immune system functions.
