WHAT IS A MINERAL
Strictly speaking, a mineral is an inorganic element (commonly a metal) in combination with another group of elements, or element, chemicals such as an oxide, a carbonate, a sulfate, a phosphate, etc.
However in the body, metals are not combined in this way, but for more complex or chelate mode, combined with other organic constituents, which are enzymes, hormones, proteins, and especially amino acids.
Natural foods are the main source of metals to our bodies, whether the food is of vegetable and animal origin.
In such foods, the metal is in the form of a natural organic complex and may be used by the body.
However, food is not always sufficient in quality and quantity to meet the needs of the organism in these metals, in which case we have to use mineral supplements to increase intake of metals.
Chelation is a natural process by which inorganic mineral elements are transformed into organic forms that can be absorbed well by the intestinal villi, and thus pass into the bloodstream. In this manner absorbed metals such as iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium, etc., that is attached to the amino acids from protein digestion.
Chelation could be defined as a process in which the ore is surrounded by amino acids, forming a ball with the ore in the center, thus avoiding to react with other substances.
Through experiments, it has been found that the absorption of amino acid chelates and minerals, is far superior to any other type of mineral supplements.
How many minerals are there?
ResponderEliminarMinerals in foods:
EliminarMinerals are a type of nutrient that can be found across the spectrum of our food , although dominant in the plant kingdom. Roughly optimal nutrition requires 16 mineral ores , 7 which are required on some higher amounts ( macrominerales ) and 9 in lower amounts ( microminerales
MACROMINERALS :
SODIUM, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE , CALCIUM, MAGNESIUM PHOSPHORUS , SULFUR .
MICROMINERALS :
IRON , ZINC , IODINE , SELENIUM, FLUOR , chrome , copper , molybdenum , manganese.
