A deficiency in any of them can be just as serious as any major mineral deficiency. Nowhere is there a more powerful or effective means of obtaining them than by taking Life Plus Micro-Mins capsules.

At least 84 minerals have been isolated from human tissues and at least 60 are known to function in metabolic reactions. What is happening today, is an awakening as to the importance of minerals in total health. They are actually the foundation of our biochemical life.
