Mineral salts are essential for proper functioning of human cells. A deficiency or an imbalance of these vital minerals can lead to cell or even organ dysfunction leading to sub-optimal health or disease state. Mineral salts may well be present in our food, yet more often than not, they are not properly absorbed by our body.
