Mineral Screen

Minerals are essential substances that the body needs in minute amounts on a regular basis for normal functioning. Minerals are absorbed from the diet and are used to produce enzymes and hormones, to regulate glucose as well as in the formation of blood cells, bone, teeth, muscles and connective tissue.

Minerals assist in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, promote wound healing, and are necessary for the transport of oxygen throughout the body.
