Trace Mineral Blend Facts
Trace Minerals are also considered microminerals. They originate in the earth and are introduced into the body through our intake of food and water. Trace minerals are found in small amounts in the human body and are believed to play a role in overall health and bodily processes. They may play a significant role in fighting degenerative disease.

How Trace Minerals Work
Most people don't have a deficiency in trace minerals, but the aging process may contribute to a lack of optimal absorption, utilization, or retention of trace minerals. The quality of our foods, in relation to agricultural and environmental factors, may contribute to poor intake of these nutrients. Many other factors influence the balance of trace minerals in the body, including a person's diet, ability to absorb these nutrients, and drug interactions.
