Mineral Health

Minerals play a role in almost every metabolic process in your body, regulating crucial metabolic processes from energy production to acid-base balance. SierraSil® Joint Formula 14 naturally contains both macro and trace minerals required by the body to ensure the optimal function of all physiological systems

Minerals play an essential role in thousands of critical biological functions including cell formation, energy production, nerve transmission, pH regulation, acid-base balance and enzyme production. Minerals are also crucial in maintaining proper structural and functional components of the body, such as healthy joints, bones, cartilage, muscles, connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments, and skin. The body requires a wide spectrum of minerals in order to satisfy its daily requirements, which includes both macro minerals and trace minerals.

Trace minerals are required in very small quantities in the diet, but this shouldn’t suggest they are any less important than well-known macro minerals such as calcium and magnesium. In fact, of the 14 minerals identified as being essential for optimal health, 6 of these—chromium, copper, iodine, manganese, molybdenum, and selenium—are trace minerals. Each mineral in SierraSil® has a unique role in health maintenance on its own, and also acts in concert with the other essential minerals in SierraSil® to promote optimal health.
