Researchers also have noticed a possible correlation between the level of silver in the body and health. Colloidal silver is said to act as a catalyst, effectively disabling an enzyme necessary for bacteria, virus, and fungi metabolism. Calcium activates enzymes that are active in fat and protein digestion and in the production of energy. Calcium also plays a major role in developing strong and healthy bones. Magnesium works with enzymes to break down sugar stored in the liver to create energy.

A deficiency can result in anemia. It is important in maintaining some of the functions of the immune system. Manganese is an important part of many enzyme systems involved in protein, fat, and energy metabolism.
