It s elemental, everybody needs minerals. Minerals support the immune and reproductive systems, produce hormones and enzymes and provide valuable energy. In fact, the proper balance of minerals is crucial to overall good health. The importance of minerals in our diets is often overlooked. Minerals are necessary for 95 percent of our body's daily functions.
Minerals are life sustaining.
The body can function, however poorly, without vitamins, but without minerals the body will die. Our bodies naturally produce vitamins from their inherent mineral supply, so when minerals are also depleted, our bodies suffer. Overworked soils that have been used to grow thousands of crops of fruits and vegetables are depleted. The animals we eat can no longer get adequate nutrition from crops that are grown on mineral deficient soils. Have you ever watched a horse or a cow stretch its neck over barbed wire to get the grass on the other side of the fence.
