Minerals

Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals which are required by your body in small amounts. They cannot be synthesized within your body and must come from the food and beverages that you consume.

Your stomach plays a very important role in your digestive process, particularly in protein digestion, but very few nutrients are absorbed from your stomach into your body.

Calcium is just one of many minerals which are essential to your health and is considered a major mineral as it is present in your body, and necessary for optimal health, in relatively large amounts.

Calcium is essential to health, but like many nutrients too much as well as too little can adversely affect your health.
