Popping a vitamin pill or chugging back a green juice have become the go-to way to fill nutritional gaps. However, for those in the know, getting a good balance of minerals is a non-negotiable. This often-overlooked group of micronutrients are often described as the ‘spark plugs’ of the body, due to their indispensable role in jumpstarting multiple metabolic processes.
Micronutrient minerals fall under two different categories. Macro-minerals, which tend to be required by the body in larger amounts, and micro-minerals (also known as trace minerals) which are needed in tiny amounts. Though their significance is not to be underestimated. Low levels can result in a major health decline, and they are considered crucial for energy, mental focus, a healthy metabolism, hormonal balance and more.
