Minerals

Minerals are inorganic, non-living substances that are required by a living organism -- you! However, the human body has to break down these inorganic minerals to forms that are organic in order to use them to build bones, tissues, hormones and for their role in body functions. Like calcium and magnesium to regulate heart rhythm and muscle contractions. Potassium and sodium for fluid balance.   

Minerals are often underestimated nutrients. Did you know magnesium helps regulate more than 600 cellular reactions and 75% of Americans are low? Magnesium is critically important for the energy production inside each cell which keeps cells (and you) alive. Silica is helpful for healthy skin, hair and connective tissues and selenium supports immunity, too, as an antioxidant. Chromium GTF helps a healthy blood sugar response. These are just a few of the many actions minerals perform so make sure you get your daily quota in the right form, especially magnesium!  

It's important to try to get your mineral requirements from a healthy diet every day. If you choose to supplement, it is equally important to take mineral that are already in a patented organic form like Albion® and patented Opti-Zinc®. These mineral options are easier on the GI tract, too, since they are bioavailable. 

TyH uses Albion® patented chelates as they are organic to the body, thus more bioavailable for their health benefits. Products that use only Albion® minerals are awarded their Gold Medallion status which helps you choose them over inorganic forms. Albion's organic iron chelate is also non-binding and GI friendly.  

TyH's choice for zinc is patented Opti-Zinc® for optimal absorption. Zinc is often called the "immune mineral" as it supports a healthy immune and healing response.
