It is important to have the correct balance of vitamins and minerals so that dietary deficiencies do not occur. Both are equally essential since every gland in the body is dependent on one or more in order to function. Vitamins and minerals work together to ensure optimum absorption of both.

Minerals cannot be synthesised by the body, therefore the correct diet or extra supplementation is vital. Minerals are vital components of enzymes and are involved in every biochemical process of the body. They are vital for the transportation of oxygen, maintaining the nervous system and for the growth and health of bones and tissue.
