Microelements
Required in smaller quantities and are calculated in milligram (thousandth of a gram), this category includes iron, fluorine, iodine, manganese, cobalt, copper and zinc.

Trace elements
Assessed in micrograms (millionths of a gram), including silicon, nickel, chromium, lithium, molybdenum and selenium.

The following describes the characteristics of each mineral:

* Sulfur. It is part of the structure of skin, nails, hair and cartilage, is responsible for neutralizing toxins and helps the liver in bile secretion.
* Calcium. It is an essential component of bones and teeth, 99% are found in them, and the remaining 1% is stored in the muscles, so it is vital for development and good health of these structures. It participates in blood clotting and nerve impulse transmission.
* Chloride. Promotes fluid balance in the body, helps the liver detoxify and is vital to the formation of acids in the stomach
* Cobalt. Involved in the production of red blood cells.
* Copper. Hemoglobin becomes stored iron in the body and can take advantage of that is contained in food.
* Chromium. Collaborates in the normal assimilation of sugar for the insulin-a hormone produced by the pancreas to work properly, while regulating cholesterol levels and is involved in protein transport.
* Phosphorus. Is an element that is involved with calcium in building bones and teeth also essential to transform food into energy consumed.
* Fluorine. Prevents tooth decay and strengthens bones.
* Iron. Necessary for the production of hemoglobin (substance inside red blood cells and carries oxygen to the blood) and myoglobin (oxygenated muscles). It is essential for the proper use of B vitamins
* Lithium. It is essential for nervous system regulation.
* Magnesium. Allows for proper absorption of calcium and vitamin C, the smooth functioning of the nervous system and increases the secretion of bile (thus favoring the digestion of fat and toxic waste disposal) also helps reduce heart problems and is involved in the process muscle contraction and relaxation.
* Manganese. It is responsible for activating the enzymes involved in formation of fats and helps in the utilization of vitamins C, B1, and B8.
* Mo. Helps prevent anemia and dental caries.
* Nickel. It allows the proper functioning of the pancreas.
* Potassium. Responsibility for enhancing the activity of the kidneys to stimulate the elimination of toxins through the urine, and storage of carbohydrates and their subsequent transformation into energy. It also helps maintain proper heart rate and blood pressure at normal levels and is essential for the transmission of all nerve impulses.
* Selenium. It has antioxidant properties, which gives him the ability to prevent premature aging and cancer. It is helpful in treating dandruff and kept in good repair the liver, heart and reproductive organs.
* Silicon. It helps absorb calcium, build new cells and nourish tissues.
* Sodium. Is responsible for regulating the distribution of water in the body, is involved in transmitting nerve impulses to muscles and participates in the digestion process.
* Iodine. It is essential for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland, helps growth, improves mental alertness, burn excess fat and allows the development of nails, hair, skin and teeth.
* Zinc. It is vital for growth, regulates sexual development, epidermal and hair, and is required for the production of insulin (a hormone that is responsible for maintaining blood sugar levels within normal ranges).
