This foundational analysis examines how variations in your genetic code influence the absorption, distribution, and excretion of essential metals and minerals.
Mineral nutrients are inorganic elements essential for human health, distinct from organic vitamins. They originate from rocks, soil, or water and are crucial for bone and teeth structure, fluid balance, nerve signalling, muscle contraction, and hormone and enzyme functions.
While essential minerals are needed in appropriate amounts, excessive intake can be harmful, and heavy metals from the environment pose serious health risks.
Metals and minerals interact with each other and impact vitamin metabolism. Factors like genetics, nutrition, age, gender, and lifestyle affect how these elements are absorbed and utilised in the body.
The Metals and Minerals Report highlights elements of your DNA profile that influence your needs and metabolism of key minerals and heavy metals.
