Some Important Points to Remember about Minerals

If you take nutritional supplements, you might be disrupting your mineral balance. But not taking supplements isn't the answer either.

You need to make sure you're getting all the minerals you need in the proper balance.

Here's why:

Too little iron can have the same effect.

Iron deficiency can cause anemia.
Taking too much iron can also cause a certain type of anemia.

Calcium supplements can help prevent osteoporosis.
They can also contribute to brittle bones in some people.

A vitamin C deficiency can allow copper to build up to toxic levels.
Too much copper can cause an iron, selenium or potassium deficiency.
Too much vitamin C can cause a copper deficiency, and excess iron.

The key is balance. You need to get all the nutrients you need in the proper balance.
