Boron enhances the body’s ability to absorb calcium and magnesium. It may also promote beneficial levels of estrogen and testosterone in healthy post-menopausal women and help convert vitamin D to its active form, supporting the absorption of calcium.*

+ CALCIUM
Calcium performs numerous vital functions in the body. It combines with phosphorus to strengthen bones and is crucial for nerve conduction, muscle contraction and heartbeat. Calcium also helps prevent cramps brought on by exercise by avoiding lactic acid buildup.*

+ CHROMIUM
Chromium is essential to the metabolism of lipids, glucose and insulin. It promotes healthy glucose tolerance and helps regulate sugar levels in the body. Chromium also aids in the breakdown and distribution of proteins and carbohydrates.*

+ COPPER
Copper is heavily involved in the production of hemoglobin. It is also involved in the production of colagen, the protein responsible for the integrity of bone, cartilege, skin and tendon, and elastin, a major component of large blood vessels.*

+ GOLD
Gold is thought to have a chelation effect on free radicals.*

+ IODINE
Iodine is crucial for the health of the thyroid gland and is essential for the production of two key hormones that help regulate a host of body processes including resting metabolic rate, heart rate, heat production and energy levels.*

+ LITHIUM

+ MAGNESIUM
Magnesium is essential for every major biological process. It is necessary for 300+ enzymatic reactions and is vital for calcium metabolism. Magnesium is not a trace mineral, but a major entity in our bodies.*

+ MANGANESE
Manganese is involved in protein, fat and energy metabolism. It's primary function, though, is as an antioxidant. Manganese is an essential part of biochemical reactions that affect bone, cartilage and brain function.*

Selenium is an essential trace mineral required by the body in small quantities. It is also a potent antioxidant. Selenium is necessary for proper calcium and vitamin C metabolism, helps convert blood sugar into energy, decreases platelet aggregation and helps promote cardiovascular health.*
