MINERALS

MINERALS : SOLGAR DESK REFERENCE
Minerals
M I N E R A L S A R E essential factors in human nutrition; they are constituents of the
bones, teeth, soft tissue, muscles, blood, and nerve cells. They act as catalysts for
many biological reactions within the body, and are important in the production
of hormones.
Calcium is the body’s most abundant mineral. Its primary function is to help build
and maintain bones and teeth, which it does in co-operation with Phosphorus. In
addition, Calcium aids in the process of blood clotting and in the control of the
passage of fluids through the cells. It is also related to the proper functioning of
the heart and neuromuscular system. Vitamins D and K, as well as magnesium,
are important factors in Calcium absorption.
Copper is found in all the tissues of the body. It assists in the formation of
haemoglobin and red blood cells by aiding Iron absorption, and assists in the
conversion of an amino acid to a dark pigment which colours the hair and skin.
A large amount of Molybdenum, Zinc or Sulphur in the diet is antagonistic to
Copper, having an adverse effect on its absorption.
Iodine is an essential component of the thyroid hormone, thyroxine, which is
the master regulator of metabolic reactions involved in oxidation.
The major function of Iron is to act with protein and Copper in making
haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying pigment found in red blood cells. Vitamin
C enhances the absorption of Iron by changing it to a form that is more readily
usable by the body.
Magnesium is a cofactor for more than 300 enzyme processes within the human
body. At least half of the body’s Magnesium is in the bones with the remainder in
the red blood cells, muscles and other soft tissue. Magnesium is involved in many
functions including muscle contraction and nerve function in which it works in
tandem with Calcium. It is also very important in relation to heart health, energy
production and the functioning of the digestive system.
MINERALS
Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body, and is found in
every living cell. It is involved in the proper functioning of both muscles and
nerves, and often works along with Calcium. The healthy body maintains a
specific Calcium-Phosphorus balance in the bones of 2:1.
Chromium, serves to potentiate the effectiveness of insulin, the hormone
responsible for blood sugar metabolism.
Molybdenum is a trace element that serves as a co-factor in many enzyme
systems. The physiological roles of the Sulphur-bearing Amino Acids involve
Molybdenum.
Boron is a trace element that influences the metabolism of nutrients involved
in the maintenance of strong bones and may play a role in hormone regulation.
Selenium is an essential trace mineral that works synergistically with Vitamin
E. As a constituent of Glutathione peroxidase, an antioxidant enzyme, Selenium
neutralises free radicals before they can damage body tissues.
Many of Solgar’s minerals are provided in an Albion amino acid chelate form.
This process delivers amino acid chelated minerals which have the highest
absorption and utilisation rates because the chelate takes the minerals directly
into the cells.
Category Highlights
SOLGAR OFFERS:
• A wide selection of single Minerals and combination formulas
• Ultimate Bone Support – A combination of nutrients that work synergistically
to transport calcium into the bones. Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese and
Copper are in the highly bioavailable bisglycinate form, bioactive vitamin K2
supports the heart and vascular system and vitamin D3 aids Calcium uptake
from the intestines
• Gentle Iron™ – Numerous trials have shown that this Ferrochel™ ferrous
bisglycinate form of iron significantly increases intestinal absorption of iron
in comparison to inorganic iron salts. There is also a greatly reduced risk of
gastrointestinal effects, such as constipation and nausea, as well
• Flavo-Zinc Lozenges – Available in highly absorbable forms for maximum
effectiveness
MINERALS
Manganese is an important activator for, and is part of, many enzyme systems.
It plays a part in protein synthesis and fatty acid metabolism, and is necessary
for normal skeletal development and pituitary gland activity.
Zinc is an essential trace mineral, important to the immune system, and is a
component of many enzyme systems. It is also a constituent of insulin and male
reproductive fluid. Should there be a high intake of Calcium, or of phytic acid,
found in certain grains, there is a need for a greater intake of Zinc.
• Both yeast and yeast-free forms of Selenium
All weight’s shown for Solgar’s Minerals are the ‘elemental’ weight, unless otherwise stated.
Sodium and Potassium are involved in the balance of fluid within the body,
Potassium being found mainly within the cells, and Sodium being found
predominately in the fluids outside the cells. Along with Calcium and
Magnesium, the balance of these electrolytes plays a vital role in cardiovascular
health.
