The Encyclopedia of Vitamins and Minerals: They're Needed, and Where to Get Them from, Naturally (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798263880279)

Human life is sustained by countless biochemical processes that occur every second within our bodies. At the core of these processes are vitamins and minerals-the essential "micronutrients" that, although required in small amounts, make the difference between vitality and illness. They act as catalysts, enabling enzymes and hormones to function; they build and strengthen bones, blood, and tissue; they regulate energy metabolism; and they support the brain and immune system. Without them, the human body cannot grow, repair itself, or thrive.
Vitamins such as A, C, D, E, and K, along with the B-complex family, are essential for maintaining vision, immunity, blood formation, nervous system health, and energy production. Minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron serve as essential structural and regulatory elements of life, from maintaining bone density and muscle contractions to facilitating oxygen transport and cellular communication. They are the silent guardians of human health, too often taken for granted until their absence becomes apparent.
