Trace elements

Trace elements are essential minerals that, together with vitamins and other minerals, play an important role in our metabolism. Although they are required in small amounts (daily requirement below 100 mg), they are indispensable and must be ingested regularly through food. Trace elements supplement and support vitamins and minerals in the build-up, conversion and breakdown control functions of our metabolism.

Trace elements include iron, zinc, manganese, copper, chromium, molybdenum, iodine, fluorine, selenium and cobalt. Each trace element fulfills specific tasks in the body. Iron, for example, is important for the transport of oxygen in the blood, while zinc plays an important role in the immune system and the metabolism of proteins. Manganese supports bone formation and copper is involved in the formation of connective tissue and iron utilization.

The complementary function of trace elements to vitamins and minerals is crucial as they control and regulate various metabolic processes. They help to keep the body healthy and vital. The balanced intake of trace elements is therefore essential for optimal health.
