- Calcium - Promotes healthy bone growth and overall health.
- Magnesium - Helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function and plays an important role in metabolism and protein synthesis, increasing energy levels. Maintains normal heart rhythms and converts blood sugar to energy. Magnesium is needed to utilize carbohydrates properly, to make our protein from amino acids, to maintain muscle tissue and balanced hormone levels.
- Iron - Boosts hemoglobin in the blood, which carries oxygen through your body, and increases resistance to stress and disease as well as preventing fatigue. Without iron, the blood could not deliver oxygen throughout the body. Builds up the quality of blood and increases resistance to stress and disease. Iron prevents fatigue and promotes good skin tone.
