The human body requires minerals for normal functioning. Everything in the body depends on them, including healthy nerve function, blood and bone health, muscle tone and body fluids. Minerals help the body to produce energy, heal and grow. A proper balance of minerals is very important. The levels of many minerals are affected when one mineral gets out of balance. This could lead to illness. Vitabase Ultra Minerals is a balanced formula designed to deliver the body’s necessary minerals. This formula includes both macrominerals and trace minerals. The macrominerals include potassium, magnesium and calcium. Trace minerals supplied in this formula include boron, vanadium, molybdenum, chromium, manganese, copper, selenium, zinc, iodine and iron. Many of these are chelated. This helps to transport them into the bloodstream.
