Our Mineral Balance

THE MINERALS

MAGNESIUM
• Required for the active transport of potassium and calcium across cell membranes.
• Affects the conduction of nerve impulses, muscle contraction, and normal rhythm of the heart.
• Involved in more than 300 essential metabolic reactions

CALCIUM
• Levels in the blood and fluid surrounding the cells must be maintained within a very narrow concentration range for normal physiological functioning.
• The functions of calcium are so vital that the body will demineralize bone to maintain normal blood calcium levels when calcium intake is inadequate.

POTASSIUM
• Essential dietary mineral functioning as an electrolyte, a substance that dissociates into ions in solution making it capable of conducting electricity.
• Potassium is the principal positively charged ion (cation) inside of cells.

SODIUM
• Principal cation in extracellular fluid.
• Concentration differences between potassium and sodium across cell membranes create an electrochemical gradient known as the Membrane Potential.
• Control of cell membrane potential is critical for nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and cardiac function.
