Almost all modern people know how important vitamins are. However, few people know that vitamins cannot function without minerals and without them the body cannot absorb and use vitamins. The human body can produce some of the vitamins, but it cannot synthesize minerals, so they must be obtained from food or nutritional supplements. Our food does not contain enough minerals, which is why serious deviations from its normal state can develop. In these cases (as well as during prolonged and heavy physical exertion, intensive training in competitive sports), minerals must be added through nutritional supplements. Our body needs higher concentrations of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and chlorides. The rest (called trace elements) are needed in quantities no greater than one thousandth or millionth of a gram. Minerals and trace elements participate together, i.e. they act synergistically in many complex biochemical reactions and enhance each other's effects. If only one is missing, the others cannot successfully fulfill their task. Several decades ago, the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) set the recommended daily allowances for 6 minerals – calcium, iodine, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and 12 other elements – called active elements – chlorine, chromium, cobalt, copper, fluorine, manganese, molybdenum, potassium, selenium, sodium, sulfur and vanadium. Since 1989, selenium has been considered an essential element in the USA. It also has a specific recommended daily intake. There are many publications on the positive effects of introducing various minerals and trace elements into the body. Their more important positive effects are: Calcium and phosphorus together are responsible for healthy bones and teeth. Calcium and magnesium together play an important role in the normal function of the heart muscle and blood circulation. Calcium is involved in the absorption of iron and supports the functioning of the nervous system and especially the transmission of nerve impulses. Magnesium is essential for the effective functioning of muscles and nerves and plays an important role in the transformation of blood sugar into energy. Without chromium, adequate carbohydrate metabolism is impossible. Like iron, cobalt is very important for the formation of red blood cells. Iron cannot be incorporated into hemoglobin without the presence of copper. Iodine is important for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland. Manganese is important for the normal functioning of certain digestive enzymes and plays an important role in synthesizing thyroid hormones. Potassium and sodium regulate the balance of salts and water in the body. They normalize the heart rhythm and help eliminate unnecessary waste products from the body that accompany metabolism. Selenium is an important antioxidant and, together with vitamin E, slows down the aging of tissues and prevents the development of tumors. Zinc controls and manages metabolic processes and the work of enzyme systems. It maintains cellular composition and is essential for protein synthesis. It slows down the processes of prostate hypertrophy. All of these elements are included in Power Mins, thus offering a complex product of natural origin that contains an optimal ratio of trace elements and minerals, in chelated form for ideal absorption by the body.
