‘Mineral Synergy’
During the 1980’s scientists discovered what is now known as the law of mineral interdependency, meaning that all minerals are totally dependent on one another to work effectively, to give you an example –
If you supplement with calcium, the absorption and metabolism of phosphorus, iron, zinc, magnesium and manganese will be affected, as they all work in synergy. These minerals can then affect all the other minerals and trace elements that they individually work with – like a chain reaction, one mineral offsets the benefits of another (read, they don’t work in isolation).
Let’s take three popular independent mineral supplements:
Magnesium takes part in over 300 enzymatic reactions. It is essential for nerve and muscle function.
The absorption and metabolism of magnesium requires cadmium, lead, sodium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, potassium and manganese in the correct balance, and these minerals in turn need more minerals to work.
Therefore, magnesium won’t work to its full effect without at least 20 other minerals.
Calcium is needed for healthy teeth and bones however without strontium, zinc, magnesium, manganese and iron, the absorption and metabolism of calcium is effected, and these minerals in turn need more minerals to work.
Therefore, calcium won’t work to its full effect without at least 20 other minerals.
Iron is needed to transport oxygen in the blood and is required as a cofactor for many enzymes. The absorption and metabolism of iron requires copper, manganese, cadmium, zinc, lead, calcium and chromium in the correct balance, and these minerals in turn need more minerals to work.
Therefore, iron won’t work to its full effect without at least 20 other minerals.
