Minerals

Minerals are the essential inorganic elements your body can’t create … they must be brought in through the foods you eat and the water you drink. Often overlooked, these small but mighty nutrients can make a surprisingly big difference in how you feel.

Minerals come from the environment rather than living tissue (found in rocks, soil, water), are absorbed by plants, and then make their way into the food chain. They contribute to everything - minerals help build strong bones, support nerve signals, balance hydration, and convert food into energy.

Because we lose minerals daily through sweat and urine, and burn through them faster during stress, breastfeeding, broken sleep or busy seasons … regular replenishment is essential.

Signs you may need more:
~ Afternoon crashes
~ Salt cravings
~ Restless legs or muscle tension
~ Feeling anxious or “wired but tired”
~ Headaches
~ Low stress tolerance

Simple ways to replenish:
~ A pinch of sea salt in your water
~ Drinking mineral-rich herbal teas like nettle leaf and oatstraw
~ Potassium-rich foods (banana, coconut water, leafy greens)
~ Magnesium supplementation
~ Using trace-mineral drops daily i.e BioTrace
~ Consuming a balanced diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables + whole foods
