Power Mins
POWER MINS HAS BECOME A POPULAR FORMULA IN THE Calivita® PRODUCT OFFERING SINCE ITS LAUNCH. No wonder, because the composition of our excellent quality product provides the IDEAL MINERAL SUPPLEMENTATION FOR DAILY.
Did you know that minerals play a significant role in the acid-base balance of the body and, if necessary, in the alkalization process?
It is common knowledge that vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, probiotics that maintain healthy intestinal flora and all other essential building blocks are necessary for the proper functioning of the body. Minerals, like vitamins, are important components of our body and, as in the case of vitamins, we should meet our needs from external sources.
With 99.5 percent calcium absorbed and stored in bones and teeth, the remaining amount will be an important component of blood plasma. It takes part in blood clotting processes and muscle contraction, not only of skeletal muscles, but also of respiratory and cardiac muscles, and is supplemented daily with 1000 mg. That is why its supplementation is so important, because our bones act as warehouses that can be “expanded” until the age of 30, and then after the condition stabilizes, they begin to atrophy. Therefore, sufficient daily calcium supplementation is important not only for the proper functioning of our metabolism, but also for the protection of our bones. Recently, its role in achieving a healthy body mass index has been studied. Some clinical studies show that calcium effectively supports weight loss diets. For many, it is a mandatory element of the first aid kit, as it may be helpful in alleviating unpleasant symptoms during the allergy season.
magnesiumlike calcium, it plays various roles in the body. It is the building block of hundreds of enzymes and participates in energy production processes as well as in protein synthesis. Additionally, it contributes to the healthy functioning of the cardiovascular system and muscles. In case of its deficiency, muscle cramps and characteristic nocturnal calf cramps may occur.
zinc is an important antioxidant element, the presence of which is necessary in the fight against free radicals. It also takes part in the functioning of the immune system by stimulating the development of immune cells.
iron is necessary for blood formation and oxygen transport. If the deficiency is chronic, red blood cells are not produced properly, the supply of oxygen to the tissues may become insufficient and classic iron deficiency anemia may develop. According to previous WHO estimates, at least 10-20% of children, elderly people and mainly women are affected worldwide.
Iodine it is probably one of the most famous minerals, because it is widely known that it plays a key role in the functioning of the thyroid gland. However, only a few people know that some parts of Europe are at least minimally iodine deficient. Therefore, proper iodine intake should be carefully monitored because thyroid function also affects the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Less known is that selenium also plays an important role in the proper production of thyroid hormones, which further supports the immune system.
Due to its role in metabolism, chrome It is a common ingredient of preparations supporting weight loss because it influences the metabolism of carbohydrates and, through them, also proteins and fats. Some studies have suggested that it may also alleviate carbohydrate cravings.
Manganese it also plays a multifaceted role in the human body, just like the above-mentioned minerals. It takes part in energy production processes, the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, maintaining healthy bone structure, and, being an effective antioxidant, it also supports cell protection.
It is known that these seemingly tiny elements are involved in many processes, which is why their daily supplementation is extremely important. Even in summer, through increased sweating, we lose significant amounts of minerals that need to be supplemented so that our body can function properly.
