Description
DESCRIPTION
RxLink Essential Minerals is a high potency mineral complex
providing a comprehensive blend of both macrominerals
and trace minerals to help meet the body’s daily nutritional
requirement of these nutrients.
FUNCTIONS
Like vitamins, minerals are essential nutrients only obtained
from our diet. They play a variety of roles including structural
(such as calcium in bones), enzyme reactions (magnesium
plays a role in over 300 enzymatic reactions) and synthesis
(such as iron’s role in red blood cell production). Although
they are essential to health, recent studies conclude that
most people fail to meet the recommended requirement
for minerals. Therefore, supplementing with all essential
minerals in one complete formula ensures adequate daily
intake. Essential Minerals utilizes chelated minerals, which
have greater absorption and bioavailability than non-chelated
minerals. To facilitate absorption, utilization and retention
of calcium and phosphorus, vitamin D is added to Essential
Minerals. Betaine chloride provides an environment for
enhanced absorption of minerals.
INDICATIONS
RxLink Essential Minerals may be a useful dietary supplement for
those who wish to fortify their diet with both macrominerals
and trace minerals and ensure optimal levels of these nutrients.
SUGGESTED USE
Adults take 4 tablets daily with meals or as directed by a
healthcare professional.
