Description
Like vitamins, minerals are essential nutrients only obtained from our diet. They play a variety of roles including structural (such as calcium in bones), enzyme reactions (magnesium plays a role in over 300 enzymatic reactions) and synthesis (such as iron’s role in red blood cell production). Although they are essential to health, recent studies conclude that most people fail to meet the recommended requirement for minerals. Therefore, supplementing with all essential minerals in one complete formula ensures adequate daily intake. Ultra Minerals utilizes chelated minerals, which have greater absorption and bioavailability than non-chelated minerals. To facilitate absorption, utilization and retention of calcium and phosphorus, vitamin D is added to Ultra Minerals. Betaine chloride provides an environment for enhanced absorption of minerals.

Adults take 4 tablets daily with meals or as directed by a healthcare professional.
