Why Trace Minerals Are Important For Your Body

By Neil Butterfield

Trace minerals are essential to our health and are found in the body in trace amounts just like the name indicates. These minerals are essential for your overall health and are required in minute quantities each day. And even though you need so little they do so much. In fact, you couldnt live a healthy life without these trace minerals.

If you're taking a compound or chelated (pill form) trace mineral supplement you may be getting less than 20% of what it says on the bottle. That's because your body is unable to process pills any more than that. However, liquid trace mineral supplements are water-soluble which means you will get almost 100% of what it says on the bottle. That's because water-soluble supplements are so easily absorbed.
