Minerals are the inorganic elements which comprise part of the body. They contribute from 60 to 80 of all the inorganic material in the human body. The trace elements make up the remainder. Minerals and trace elements serve as vital catalysts for the biological reactions that take place within the body. They are found, for example, in bones, teeth, and soft tissues. They are needed for the production of blood, hormones, and enzymes, thus serving a life-sustaining function. The absorption of minerals and trace elements is generally less efficient than that of other nutrients. The term bioavailability refers to the degree to which a particular nutrient is available for use in the body. There are many factors which influence bioavailability, including the compound form of the mineral or trace element.
