Whereas vitamins catalyze chemical processes without becoming part of the reaction's byproducts, some minerals become part of the body's structures and existing chemicals.
Minerals serve 3 broad roles in the body:
1). Minerals provide structure in forming bones and teeth.
2).Function - maintain heart rhythm/muscle contractility/acid-base balance.
3).Minerals regulate cellular metabolism by becoming consituents of enzymes and hormones that modulate cellular activity.
