Metals and Minerals Report
Mineral nutrients are chemical elements essential for human life. Distinct from vitamins, which are organic compounds made by plants and animals, minerals are inorganic and originate from rocks, soil or water. They are vital for providing structural support to bones and teeth, maintaining pH and fluid balance, enabling nerve conduction and muscle contraction, and supporting the function of hormones and enzymes, as well as the immune system.
Whilst essential minerals are necessary in adequate amounts for health, excessive intake and accumulation can be detrimental. Additionally, environmental heavy metals are toxic to humans and pose serious health risks.
Metals and minerals have complex interactions with one another as well as with vitamin metabolism. Genetic variants – as well as nutrition, age, gender and lifestyle habits – can affect the absorption, distribution and excretion of metals and minerals, impacting their balance and status in the body.
The Metals and Minerals Report presents elements of your DNA profile that have been shown to influence your need, status and metabolism of major and trace minerals, and heavy metals.
