    GlossaryMineral Supplements (Dietary Minerals)

    products providing essential minerals not sufficiently obtained from diet

    Mineral supplements are products designed to provide essential minerals that the body needs to function properly but may not get enough of through diet alone. These minerals, such as iron, calcium, and magnesium, play crucial roles in various bodily functions, including bone health, oxygen transport, and enzyme activity. For individuals with specific deficiencies or increased needs, such as those with certain medical conditions or dietary restrictions, mineral supplements can help maintain optimal health.
