Trace minerals and essential nutrients may be tiny, but they are much more powerful than you think.
Here’s an example – if you have hair loss or brittle nails, you may be low in zinc.
I recommend taking a trace mineral supplement at least 4 times a week to avoid many health issues. Of course, it is always best to eat a diet rich in trace minerals and drink mineral or spring water every day, but if you want to protect your health, supplementing with the trace minerals is always a smart thing to do.
Ah, the smallest things can be the most powerful …..

Hair Mineral Testing
Don’t run out and start taking a mineral without checking to see what nutrients you may be low in. I highly recommend having a hair analysis to learn your levels of the essential elements and trace minerals. Why guess what might be too low?
Once you know what your nutrient levels are, then you can design a program for your daily lifestyle much more affectively, and you’ll save money by only purchasing the mineral supplements that you really need.
