The Critical Role of Minerals in Human Physiology

Minerals are essential components in the functioning of approximately 30 trillion cells in the human body, as they are integral to the formation of enzymes. Enzymes facilitate chemical reactions with significantly less energy, playing a vital role in sustaining life. Without sufficient minerals, enzyme production is compromised, leading to inefficiencies in biological processes. This highlights the necessity for individuals, especially those interested in biohacking, to pay increased attention to mineral intake for optimal health.
