Comprehensive Mineral Formula For Overall Health*

Our Price: $12.10Add to Cart
SKU: DL7999-60X

Mega-Min, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a comprehensive mineral formula that contains well tolerated and highly absorbable chelated and complexed minerals, such as calcium, iodine, magnesium, copper, zinc, chromium, manganese, potassium, and selenium.

FUNCTIONS
• Calcium is the principal mineral constituent of bone and is thus essential for healthy bone structure and function. Calcium also participates fundamentally in blood clotting, nerve conduction, and muscle contraction.

• Iodine is necessary for the synthesis of the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine.* These thyroid hormones regulate the body’s metabolic rate.

• Magnesium is involved in energy metabolism, and is notably important in the heart, skeletal muscles, and nervous system.

• Copper regulates iron metabolism and activates superoxide dismutase, a powerful endogenous antioxidant.

• Zinc is important for growth, immune system function, protein synthesis, antioxidant mechanisms, and wound healing.

• Chromium is required for normal blood sugar and lipid metabolism; it is an integral component of glucose tolerance factor (GTF).*

•  Manganese is essential for antioxidant systems in the body, bone growth, fat metabolism, and protein, nucleic acid, and cartilage synthesis.

• Potassium is involved in normal muscle tone, nerve function, and many enzymes.

• Selenium is an essential cofactor of glutathione peroxidase, a potent antioxidant.*
