THORNE RESEARCH - Trace Minerals - 90ct [Health and Beauty]

Research on trace minerals has demonstrated their importance in human health. Trace minerals are cofactors for most enzymes in the body and are essential for proper hormone and neurotransmitter function. Deficiencies of specific trace minerals can have an adverse impact on cardiovascular health, bone health, fertility, cognitive health, and immunity. Even mild deficiencies in trace minerals can result in poor growth and development. Many dietary trace minerals are found in fruits and vegetables; however, mineral depletion of the soil has rendered much of the produce we buy deficient in these essential nutrients. Because of these circumstances, supplementation may be indicated.Trace Minerals combines citrate-bound minerals in a well-balanced trace mineral formula. As an important intermediate in the body's production of energy, citrate is essential for metabolism in all living organisms. Citrate-bound trace minerals are well absorbed and utilized by the body. Citrate can inhibit the precipitation of calcium oxalate and phosphate in the urine.
