In order to feel healthy, fit and productive, it is essential to have an adequate supply of vitamins and minerals. Both act as igniters in your metabolism. While vitamins come from living nature, i.e. from certain plants and animals, minerals are "dead" or non-organic substances. They are absorbed by plants from the soil and water. Animals in turn absorb these vital substances through their food.

Minerals support your organism in two ways: You need them as building blocks for teeth, bones and connective tissue. They also perform important tasks in the body, especially in many metabolic processes. What many people don't know: Vitamins only fulfill their function in your body in conjunction with minerals and trace elements. Without minerals, the intake of vitamins is meaningless for your body. A balanced diet usually provides you with all the vitamins and minerals you need. However, you can still be undersupplied. This particularly affects people who do a lot of sport, are older, consume a lot of alcohol and/or nicotine or are under a lot of stress.

Nobilin Mineral Plus ^® provides you with a combination of selected minerals and trace elements and also gives you the recommended daily dose of vitamin D3. Good to know : Minerals are divided into macro- and trace elements. If the concentration in the human organism is over 50 milligrams per kilogram of body weight, then they are referred to as macro-elements. Minerals with a lower concentration are considered trace elements.

Minerals (also known colloquially as "minerals" or "minerals") are among the so-called " inorganic substances ". They are essential for life and must be supplied through the diet. Minerals such as calcium or magnesium and the trace elements required in much lower concentrations (for example copper, zinc or iron) are essential components of many hormones and enzymes and are needed in combination with vitamins for a healthy metabolism. In addition, minerals serve as building blocks of our bones and teeth and connective tissue.

Minerals and trace elements can therefore rightly be described as the "salts of life" and "building blocks of the body". Without them, neither the interaction of our muscles and nerves nor blood formation or growth would work. Essential minerals are calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride and phosphorus. The essential trace elements include iodine, selenium, iron, chromium, copper, zinc, manganese and molybdenum. Diet plays a key role in ensuring an adequate supply of these essential vital substances. In some regions, deficiency symptoms are particularly common, especially with regard to iodine and selenium, due to typical diets.

Calcium and vitamin D : Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones. Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus and to normal calcium levels in the blood.

Magnesium : Magnesium contributes to normal energy metabolism, normal muscle function and the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Sodium: Sodium plays a central role in the generation and transmission of excitations in nerve cells and muscle fibers.

Potassium: Potassium contributes to normal muscle function and ensures the transmission of nerve signals to the muscles. The acid-base balance in the human organism also depends on potassium.

Chloride: Chlorides regulate the flow of fluid between cells and are important for acid-base balance, the transmission of nerve impulses, tissue and muscles. Chloride also supports the formation of stomach acid and contributes to normal digestion.

Phosphorus: Phosphorus contributes to normal bone formation. Phosphorus compounds are also found in all other body cells and are components of cell walls and genetic material.

Iodine and selenium : Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and, together with selenium, to normal thyroid function.

Copper : Copper contributes to normal iron transport in the body. Copper also contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissue, normal pigmentation of skin and hair and the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Iron : Contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin and to the normal transport of oxygen in the body.

Manganese : Manganese contributes to normal energy metabolism, the maintenance of normal bones and normal connective tissue formation. In addition, manganese helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

Fluoride : Contributes to the maintenance of tooth mineralization.

Chromium : Contributes to the maintenance of normal blood sugar levels.

Molybdenum: Molybdenum contributes to the breakdown of sulfur-containing amino acids and uric acid. It also plays an important role in energy production.

Zinc : Contributes to the protection of cell components against oxidative stress and to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails.
