Essential cofactor of :
Oxygen transport Respiration Amino acid Lipid Alcohol Vitamin A Sulfite metabolism Various other redox reaction
A metallic, divalent transition element Essential for the activation of numerous genes Vegetarian, pregnant or breastfeeding women need slightly more The Macho Mineral the largest quantities of zink in the male human body in the testes ~ testosterone to produce plentiful healthy, viable sperm
FUNCTION: Protect nerve and brain tissue Bolsters the immune system Essential for healthy growth Part of enzymes and hormones (such as insulin) SOURCES: Oysters, other shellfish, eggs and meat
Function
Essential for energy metabolism (cellular
respiration) Brain function (neurotransmitter regulation) Soft tissue and bone (collagen synthesis) Nutrient metabolism (especially iron) For antioxidant defense against free radicals
In addition, copper :
promotes the growth of strong bones promotes the health of nerve tissues prevents your hair from turning gray prematurely
Deficiency
A lack of iodine cause :
Spontaneous abortion and birth defects Impairs irreversibly brain and physical development in the fetus and young children Mild to severe mental retardation Hearing loss Paralysis leg
Older children and adult excessive growth of the thyroid gland (goiter), slows metabolic rate, mental and cardiac function and induces a feeling of fatigue and cold intolerance
A transition metal Essential for several enzyme to metabolize fat A necessary partner for Glucose Tolerance Factor (a group of
chemical that enables insulin to regulate of glucose utilization)
Cr alone binds to nuclear DNA and increases the number of initiation sites for RNA synthesis Sources : nut, whole grains, yeast and cheese
A transition metal with potential valences +2, +3 and +7 In glands (pituitary, mammary, pancreas), organs (liver, kidneys, intestines); and bones
Sources :
Whole grains, sweet potatoes, cereal products, fruit and vegetables(spinach), tea
FUNCTION
An essential constituent of the enzymes that
metabolize carbohydrates, protein digestion and metabolism, synthesize fats (cholesterol), biotin function, cartilage regeneration and free radical defense Important for a healthy reproductive system During pregnancy, manganese speeds the proper growth of fetal tissue, particularly bones and cartilage
A transition element with valences 2,3,4,5 or 6 Humans need amount of Mo for metabolism protein, sulfite, nucleic acids, aldehydes and taurine Have a role in function of glucocorticoid hormones and immune defense Sources : beans, grains, leavy vegetables, milk and cheese
FUNCTION :
A cofactor for enzymes and proteins with
vital importance in :
Antioxidant defense Thyroid hormones and insulin function Regulation of cell growth Maintenance of fertility
