Notwithstanding their minute size and amount in the body, vitamins are absolutely necessary for growth, vitality and healthy ageing. Even small deficiencies can effect the whole body. Unfortunately, it takes weeks or months for signs of some deficiencies to appear, because the cells usually continue to function less and less efficiently until they receive proper nourishment. They are the bonding agents between us and our food, which allow the body to absorb nutrients. Minerals are needed by everyone for good health and an active life.
Minerals keep the body pH balanced - alkaline instead of acid.
They are essential to bone formation and they transport oxygen through the system. Minerals cannot be synthesised by the body, with those coming from plant and herb sources being of a higher quality and more absorbable than any other source. Protein is absolutely necessary for life and growth. Amino Acids also constitute an important part of body fluids and anti-bodies. They are responsible for the growth and maintenance of our bodies throughout our lives and the central nervous system cannot function without Amino Acids, which act as neurotransmitters throughout the body.
