What is Bioveas Multi-Mineral?

Bioveas Multi-Mineral is a comprehensive, high potency formula that provides essential minerals needed for optimal health. Multi-Mineral is formulated with carefully selected minerals to maximise its benefits. It combines an array of nutrients for a complete mineral supplement.

Minerals are very important for the body to gain and maintain good health. Our Multi-Mineral provides the dietary ingredients necessary to support a healthy body.

What minerals are in Bioveas Multi-Mineral and what do they do?

Calcium: is the most abundant mineral in the body. It is an essential mineral with a wide range of biological functions. Calcium absorption declines with age. If the body does not get enough calcium, it will rob it from the bones, causing them to become porous and fragile. It cannot be over-stressed that calcium supplementation is of major importance for maintaining strong, healthy bones and slowing bone loss.

Chromium Picolinate: is thought to be the best source of chromium. Chromium is a trace mineral that is essential to the body. It enhances insulin's effect in the body, improving the uptake of glucose, thereby causing better blood circulation and maintenance of blood sugar level. Gaining energy, burning fat, and building muscle with greater ease are attributed to chromium, to name a few. It assists the body in losing weight by helping it to build muscle to replace fat. Lowering body fat and increasing lean body mass are just a few of the positive properties that chromium picolinate exhibits on the body.

Copper: Although the supplement copper is just a trace mineral and only required in very small amounts by the body, it is involved in the healthy and proper functioning of a number of very important processes. If you take a supplement containing copper, you just may find that your bones, immune function and even skin and hair will benefit.

Iodine: is a mineral needed to make thyroid hormones, which are necessary for maintaining normal metabolism in all cells of the body. People who avoid dairy, seafood, processed food, and iodised salt can become deficient. Iodine deficiency can cause low thyroid function, goiter, and cretinism.

Iron: is necessary for the transport of oxygen through the body via red blood cells. It is also involved in the conversion of blood sugar to energy. It provides a crucial building block for the production of enzymes that are involved with making new cells, amino acids, hormones and neurotransmitters. Other important activities requiring iron include liver detoxification, the metabolism of fatty acids, and the synthesis of carnitine and the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine. Iron is essential for the production of collagen and elastin, which provide structural integrity and elasticity for organs and tissues.

Manganese: is a trace mineral, and as such, it is present in very small amounts in the body. About *0 milligrams of manganese is found mostly in bones and metabolically active organs like the liver, kidneys and pancreas. The primary role of manganese is as a coenzyme in a variety of metabolic processes. It helps the body produce energy from foods, and it is also involved in thyroid function and bone formation. Manganese is involved in immune system function, and it can help to heal muscular strains and sprains. Manganese also supports mineral transport and absorption, which keeps skin, bones and cartilage healthy. Manganese is a popular supplement among athletes who eat high protein diets.

Magnesium: is essential for hundreds of chemical reactions in the body. It functions as a coenzyme for proper function of nerves and muscles, formation of bones and energy metabolism. Recent studies suggest that is of particular importance for proper heart function. Magnesium supplementation is necessary for many people. Some of the reasons for deficiency include: diet high in processed foods, high calcium intake, stress, intense physical activity, alcoholism, and the use of certain medications.

Molybdenum: is a component of several important interactions that lead to detoxification of the liver. Molybdenum is concentrated primarily in the liver, kidney, bone, and skin. Molybdenum absorption occurs readily in gastrointestinal tract, and excretion occurs primarily via the urine. Beans, beef liver, cereal grains, dark green leafy vegetables, legumes, and peas are all good sources of molybdenum.

Potassium: is a mineral that helps the kidneys function normally. It also plays a key role in cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle contraction, making it an important nutrient for normal heart, digestive, and muscular function. A diet high in potassium from fruits, vegetables, and legumes is generally recommended for optimum heart health.

Selenium: is recognised as an important element of nutrition. Selenium is an important part of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase. It helps protect cells against the effects of free radicals that are produced during normal oxygen metabolism.

Vitamin D: is a fat-soluble vitamin. It is known as the sunshine vitamin because it is formed in the body by the action of the suns ultraviolet rays on the skin. Vitamin D is converted in the kidneys to the hormone calcitrol, which is actually the most active form of vitamin D. The effects of this hormone are targeted at the intestines and bones. The major biologic function of vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, thereby helping to form and maintain strong bones. It promotes bone mineralisation in concert with a number of other vitamins, minerals, and hormones. Without vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, soft, or misshapen. Vitamin D prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, which are skeletal diseases that result in defects that weaken bones.

Zinc: is an essential trace mineral. Every cell in the body needs this nutrient and hundreds of body processes rely on it, from the immune system and the enzymes that produce DNA to the senses of taste and smell. Although the body does not produce zinc on its own, this mineral is readily available in drinking water and certain foods. Even so, a surprising number of adults fail to get enough of this mineral through their diet. Zinc is believed to promote a strong immune system by, among other things, revitalising the thymus gland and its production of white blood cells. In addition, autoimmune diseases (chronic ailments linked to the improper functioning of the immune system, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or fibromyalgia) may also benefit from zinc supplementation. Interestingly, the presence of too little zinc has been linked to a decreased immune response in older people. Evidence shows that zinc is also useful in fighting cold and flu symptoms.
