Without minerals nothing works in our body. Although inorganic substances are used only in small quantities, they are indispensable for important biochemical processes such as muscle and nerve stimulation, oxygen transport, control of the water balance and the formation of bones and teeth.

Vitamins are vital nutrients that need to be ingested daily to help our body function optimally. We only need small amounts of vitamins, but even a small deficiency can affect our health. Some vitamins can be stored by the body, while others are excreted when too much is consumed.
