Minerals play an important role in the human body as framework substances (bones etc), for regulatory functions, nerve activity and osmotic and/or electrolytic equilibrium. Minerals can be divided into primary elements and trace elements.

Primary element :

Calcium - works with phosphorus to form strong bone and teeth, etc.
Magnesium - strengthening the immune system, enzyme, muscular activity, etc. Phosphorus - cell metabolism, bones, teeth, etc.
Potassium - intake and output of fluids, cell metabolism, enzymes, growth etc.
Sodium - intake and output of fluids, acid-base equilibrium, muscular activity, nerve impulses and more.

Trace element :

Iron - production of hemoglobin, transport of oxygen, ventricular breathing
Iodine - thyroid gland, cell energy, vitality
Zinc - enzymes, connective tissue, carbohydrate metabolism, strengthening of the immune system.
Chromium - blood sugar level, carbohydrate metabolism
Fluorine - bones, teeth, growth
Copper - Iron utilization, enzyme, nerve cells, bone structure
Manganese - Enzyme, vitamin utilization, fat utilization, bone, nerve
Selenium - immune system, growth, oxygen supply etc
