Minerals

Minerals are very important for human body as sacharides and proteins. Organism needs for growing and development 22 kinds of minerals, which are not able to produced in the body on their own but has to be receive from food.

They are building elements for bones and teeth, control balance in the body, activity of the heart and digestive tract, and are necessary for optimal nerves and muscle activity.

According to quantity in the organism, minerals are divided on: macroelemnts – minerals, those concentration is higher than 50 mg/ kg – sodium, calcium, magnesium, sulphur, phosphor, potassium, chlorine

Na, Ca, Mg, S, P, K, Cl
- trace elements (a quantity is given in mg – iron, zinc, manganese, aluminium, lithium)
- ultra trace (a quantity is given in mg – cobalt, molybdenum, selenium, iodine, fluorine, nickel, chromium, vanadium, boron)Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Si, Li, Co, Mo, Se, I, F, Ni, Va, B

According to the function in organism, they are divided on: minerals, those are components of the physical structure – teeth, bones ( calcium, magnesium, phosphor); minerals, those are components in the water (sodium, potassium)

Minerals attend on metabolism actively, production of energy, forming body structures and are able to keep still balance of liquids in the body.

The most important minerals in sport products:

Element/formula	Optimal useful form	Interest / absence / too much	Recommended daily portion
Sodium Na⁺	Anorganic salt (NaCl)	Electrolyte, which keeps water in the extracellulary liquid. It prohibited loosing liquids, insure quick hydration – transfers liquids to the blood and keeps optimal osmotic pressure of liquids in organism. It is very important in transfer of nervous stir, the transfer materials (sacharides and proteins) and keeps muscle contraction. It makes very good combination of all of body’s functions; including heart, muscle and nerves function. A very big dosage is dangerous for the people with high blood pressure.	2500 –5000 mg
Potassium K⁺	Organic salt lactate gluconate asparate	It keeps water inside the cell, and helps to regulate blood pressure. Support muscle, nervous and heart activity. It has an important function for some of the enzymes. Keeping acidobazic balance in the body, stretching out blood vessels during exercising and taking care of supply oxygen to the brain. It has influence on the heart function, making proteins and getting energy from sugars. It is responsible for transfering stirs in muscles and nerves. In the absence it becomes to be a muscle exhausted, creation of cramps in muscles, decreasing of blood pressure, inappetence and apathy. Too much of it brings the heart arrhythmia; damages circulate system and cardiac arrest.	4000 mg
Magnesium Mg²⁺	Organic form gluconate lactate aspartate	The most important macro element. It helps to break down ATP on ADP, what is important reaction, which is not able to move without. It is a component more than 300 enzymatic reactions in organism; those wouldn’t be able to progress without magnesium. It partakes on a digestion and an absorption of nutriments, breaks down muscle glycogen into energy, oxidized fats, synthesis proteins, and synthesis ATP. It is necessary for nervous-muscle system, cardiovascular, hormonal, and helps to proceed from cramps (muscles are able to contract and relax). It helps to improve an anaerobe effect to bodybuilders, increase intensity of exercise and use glycogen reserve at all. It actives sharing to the regeneration of muscular and heart muscle. An absence make your health worst in all ways – damages of nervous system, heart sicknesses, sicknesses of circulatory system, damages in digestive tract and sicknesses made under stress (ulcer, high cholesterol). It also makes you tired, upset, shaking and stress. This balance can break combination sodium/ potassium. There is a lot of sodium in the cell, which contains a lot of water, what stops sportsmen to build them. If body does not have enough magnesium, it doesn’t also have enough calcium, what is conclusion of weak bones and damaged all skeleton.	500–850 mg
Calcium Ca²⁺	Organic form	It is an element, which is necessary when bones and teeth are growing. It has a very important function in nervous-muscular transfer and it is necessary in blood condensation. Too much calcium makes creation of stones renal, deficit magnesium and risk period syndromes. It is necessary in osteoporosis increasing stones renal, cholesterol, and like cramps prevention. Eating too much proteins and phosphor makes decreasing of calcium.	800–1200 mg
Chlorine Cl	Anorganic form	It helps with digestive tract. It has responsibility for right separating liquids inside and outside of the cell. It regulates the level of acids and the base in blood, it flows out poison elements and helps with digestive tract. Absence of it can make lossing of hair and nails damages.	2000–3000 mg
Phosphor P	Anorganic form	An absence makes English sickness. If there is enough, help for good bones growing and create in the right way. It assists on metabolism and unlock energy from sugars and starches, decreases pain in arthritis.	800–1200mg
Iodine J	Anorganic form	It is very important for function of thyroid, it regulates metabolism and energetic changes in organism. An absence gets to the swell of thyroid, what decreases an expense of energy, increases weight, and decreases activity and vitality. An absence in children’s bodies’ makes growth damages, spiritual damages and damages of sexual development. Too much of it is toxic.	80–150 mcg
Iron Fe³⁺	Organic form relation with AK	It is very important for making blood colour – haemoglobin. It is necessary when body is bleeding, has digestive problems, and anaemia. Iron is necessary for transfer of oxygen, support sport activity, support growing, increases stability against infections, removal tired exhaustion, keeps good skin. It is necessary for good metabolism of vitamins series B; it is a component of many enzymes. Too much of it is stack in organism and makes deficit of the heart and the liver. We can eliminate it by taking antioxidants – vitamins A and C, and also to much of it can make to much of radicals. It is good to take it with manganese, copper, and zinc.	10–30 mg
Manganese Mn⁺		Support growing and good condition of bones (help laying calcium and phosphor to the bones), it is a component of enzymes and insulin. It is important for making thyroid (thyroid hormone), helps create sexual hormones, and is important for run muscle reflexes. It helps with creation of cartilage and transfers the elements to sugar and fats. An absence may create a bad balance. If there is enough of it, it decreases stress, supports function of CNS and reproduction, memory is better and exhaustion is gone.	2–5 mg
Zinc Zn²⁺		One of the most important trace elements, which is constituent from around 200 enzymes, insulin, hormones, helps with metabolism of sugar, fats and proteins. It is important for renovating cells, speeding up in cut healings, positive treating on nervous system, remove body smell, hair is not loosen. Decreasing level of cholesterol in the blood, is like a prevention against the tumour, and helps to make new sperms. It helps to make testosterone in sportsmen. When you take too much proteins you should take more zinc too. An absence shows up when body has to much proteins, fats, iron. Also when you sweat too much or to do exercising. The conclusion is a decreasing level of immunity; it decreases vision, bad healing of cuts, damages on the skin, damages sexual functions, and problems with sleeping. Enough of it, helps prevent to sicknesses, better breathing and stronger immune system.	10–20 mg sportsmen 25 mg
Selenium Se		t is an antioxidant with very strong anticarciogen influence. It is a component in antioxidant enzyme (glutation peroxide), which protects cells against free radicals. Those are unhealthy for organism. Together with vitamin E have synergetic influence. Prevents against cancer, protects heart against slugs, and helps with healing of herpetic virus (absence of vitamin E and selenium brings virus named sleep virus and is showen like a thrust). It helps against an inflammation and dermatitis. It has ditoxicated influence; eliminates metals hard from the body (quicksilver and lead). It helps body to keep the important mechanism. An absence of selenium makes exhaustion of muscles weakness. Enough of selenium increases immunity of organism, support growing, fertility and getting older is slow down. It increases activity of sperms and makes hair stronger.	100–200 mcg Healing dosage: 200 mcg Prevention dosage: 600 mcg Toxic dosage: 900mcg 1 Brazil Nut = 120mcg Se
Copper Cu		It makes an absorption of iron, stimulates using AK tyrosine (pigment for hair and skin). It is very important for using vitamin C and another AK. An absence can make anaemia, defects of bones and strews. Too much of it makes sleeping problems, lossing hair, and depression.	1,5–3 mg
Silicon Si		It is a component found in bone, cartilages and in intercellular mass.	100–200 mg
Chrome Cr		Together with insulin attend metabolism of sugar, it helps with metabolism of proteins and fats, supports body growth, and prevents starting of diabetes. It increases renovate reserve of glycogen in muscles and liver. An absence of chrome is sometimes replaced by zinc. It also makes wrong using of glucose, upset moments, decreases metabolism of amino acids and increases level of cholesterol.Enough of it, stops quick decreasing glucose in the blood. It decreases a level of cholesterol and decreases heart sicknesses.	50–200 mcg
Sulphur S	Organic form	It increases quality of hair, nails and skin. It controls activity of CNS (central nervous system)	500–1000 mg
Cobalt Co		It needs to make red blood cells. It is a component in vitamin B12. An absence makes anaemia, especially people who are vegetarians.	Very little
Borium B		It helps with absorption of calcium, and keeps quality of bones in older age. It supports creation of testosterone. It is used in the cure of osteoporosis.	3 mg
Vanadium Va	Organic form	It protects to set up cholesterol in the walls of the blood vessels, works like an insulin. It is needed for growing bones and teeth, helps to transport the nutriment in the cells.	10–30 mg
