What are minerals?
Minerals are components of the human body and nutrients
which regulate several physiological functions. They only
account for 3.5 to 4% of our body composition but have a
tremendous influence on a wide range of biological phenomena.
Oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen, which are contained
in the human body and food, are called the four major elements,
and all elements other than these four are called minerals.
In the amount of minerals a human body needs a day, 90% of
minerals are the major minerals that we need more than 100mg
of a day, and sodium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, potassium,
phosphorus, and sulfur are those seven major minerals.
The remaining 10%, which need less than 100mg a day, are
trace minerals, and they are iron, copper, zinc, manganese,
germanium, iodine, silicon, selenium, cobalt, chromium, fluoride,
and molybdenum, vanadium, boron, platinum, etc. Though these
trace minerals are needed in a small amount, they are essential
nutrients for vitalizing enzymes and biological activities.
When salt is crystallized, it is gathered with a push bar.
