Sold as “Essential Trace Minerals by Metabolic Research Center, Maintain Healthy Mineral Balance, Supports Metabolism & Weight Loss, 60 Vegetarian Capsules”

Essential Trace Minerals was designed to help maintain a healthy mineral balance while supporting metabolism & weight loss. Trace minerals are inorganic nutrients that are essential to basic biological processes of the body. The body requires nearly 2/3 of all the elements currently known in order to maintain health, keeping these minerals in balance is a complex incredibly vital task. This formula was specifically designed to help maintain a healthy mineral balance while supporting metabolism & weight loss, protecting the body from the effects of aging, boosting immunity, supporting the growth of new skin and promoting optimal health. The body relies on a concept called synergy, which means “the interaction of elements that, when combined, produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements.” It’s not just calcium you need for your bones. You need the addition of magnesium, manganese, boron, silica, zinc, strontium, vitamin D & even a host of other nutrients to really get the job done. Every system in the body is designed that way, as is every task in it. High-dose vitamin C is required for the formation of collagen, the #1 repair protein in the body. But evens vitamin C works far better when mixed with a group of bioflavonoids. With minerals the situation is even worse- the soils in which our fruits & vegetables are grown have been depleted over the years of their rich supply of all those many minerals we really need for a healthy, properly functioning body. Some of these minerals are only needed in doses of a few micrograms. You miss out on those few micrograms with just a few of the micro-minerals & the whole system suffers -no synergy. Knowing just which micro-mineral may be the problem in any one person’s system is tough, so MRC supplies as many as it can put together & lets the body figure it out- kind of a rich smorgasbord of nutrients, so the body can pick and choose as it pleases.
