Minerals are inorganic elements the body cannot synthesize. They regulate hundreds of biochemical processes.

Major minerals (needed in larger amounts):

  • Calcium — bone density, muscle contraction, nerve signaling
  • Magnesium — 300+ enzymatic reactions, sleep, stress response
  • Potassium — blood pressure regulation, heart rhythm
  • Sodium — fluid balance, nerve function (overconsumption raises BP)
  • Iron — oxygen transport in red blood cells

Trace minerals (needed in tiny amounts):

  • Zinc — immune function, wound healing
  • Iodine — thyroid hormone production
  • Selenium — antioxidant, thyroid function

Common deficiencies: Iron (especially in women), magnesium, iodine, zinc.
