Did you know that…?
Losing 2.5 liters of water daily also depletes our mineral stores?
Therefore, in addition to water, supplementation of minerals and electrolytes is important.
Who and when do we recommend Power Mins?
- Due to intense sweating, for athletes and people performing heavy physical work.
- For those who need to supplement at least two types of minerals.
- People who take vitamins to optimize the beneficial effects of these vitamins.
- For those who want to restore the condition of their body after illness.
Trace elements necessary for life
Trace elements (microelements) are minerals that our body needs in very small amounts, but which play an important role in maintaining health. They occur in our body in amounts ranging from several hundred milligrams to several grams. Essential (for life) are iron, zinc, copper, iodine, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, cobalt and chromium. Although their content in the body is small, their role is extensive because they influence a number of vital functions.
Emphasis on diet
We obtain trace elements mainly from food. A monotonous, unvaried diet, poor in nutrients, fast food or refined food are not a sufficient source. Another problem is “damaged” agricultural land that does not contain the necessary amount of microelements.
Therefore, we should include healthy food in our diet, preferably organic, and supplement it with essential trace elements, for example PowerMins tabletswhich contain eight of the nine essential microelements mentioned above, as well as two macroelements – minerals: calcium and magnesium.
Iron and health
Iron, together with proteins, is involved in oxygen transport, cellular metabolism, DNA synthesis, etc. The recommended daily intake of iron is 14 mg. In some cases (infections, inflammation, injuries, heavy menstrual bleeding, chronic diseases, pregnancy, veganism), a higher dose is recommended and should be discussed with your doctor.
Zinc is in all cells
Zinc is a component of many enzymes, supports wound healing, increases immunity, is important for growth, development and DNA synthesis, and has antioxidant properties. It is found in all cells. The recommended daily intake of zinc is 10 mg, the optimal dose is considered to be 10-15 mg.
Symptoms of zinc deficiency include developmental delay, loss of appetite, weakened immune system, hair loss, impaired wound healing, skin diseases, reduced sperm production, etc. Chelated zinc will be an effective help in such cases.
Selenium, an effective antioxidant
The main role of selenium in the body is antioxidant defense, it has a positive effect on immunity, supports the functions of the thyroid gland and the reproductive system. The recommended daily intake of selenium is 55 µg.
The appropriate content of selenium in the diet guarantees protection against oxidation by free radicals, and thus against neurodegenerative, cardiovascular and cancer diseases.
Chromium improves glucose absorption
Chrome affects the metabolism of sugars, proteins and fats and improves cell sensitivity by increasing the absorption of insulin and glucose.
The recommended daily dose in our country is 40 μg, the optimal dose is 50–200 μg per day.
The pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes is determined by two mechanisms: insulin resistance (insufficient ability of tissues to respond to insulin) and reduced insulin production in pancreatic beta cells. Insulin resistance may be a symptom of insufficient chromium intake.
