I enjoy talking to farmers because they know that trace minerals are critical animal health and profitability. What is concerning is that except for iron, there is little medical attention given to trace elements. Unfortunately, this means that our bodies are highly vulnerable to chronic disease caused or worsened by sub-optimum trace elements.
Trace minerals, though required by our bodies in small amounts, play a crucial role in supporting energy levels and maintaining overall vitality. These include iron, zinc, selenium, copper, molybdenum, boron, manganese, chromium and vanadium which are involved in a wide variety of processes that help us convert food into usable energy.
Zinc and selenium support the function of enzymes that are involved in energy metabolism, ensuring that carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are properly broken down and utilised by the body. Copper aids in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary molecule that carries energy within our cells. Manganese also contributes to the metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates, further supporting energy production.
When trace mineral levels are inadequate, this can result in sluggishness, mental fog, and a general lack of motivation. By maintaining a balanced diet rich in trace minerals plus a good trace mineral supplement can help our bodies sustain optimal energy levels, improve focus, and stay active throughout the day.
I recommend that everyone takes a high quality multi-mineral supplement. My preference is to add the maximum amounts permissible as this will help maintain energy and general health.
