Multi Mins is a multi-mineral combination that helps support bone and red blood cell formation. As bones constantly undergo remodelling, adequate intake of minerals is necessary to promote the bone forming stage of remodelling.¹ Calcium and phosphorus are primarily involved in bone mineralization.¹ Approximately 99% of calcium is found in the skeleton, where it supports bone formation and decreases bone loss to help reduce the incidence of fractures.¹ Nearly 60% of magnesium is found in bone, where it mediates bone forming osteoblast activity and calcium metabolism.¹ The rigid bone matrix contains polysaccharides produced from manganese and collagen, the connective tissue synthesized and strengthened by zinc and copper.¹ Individuals with osteoporosis may have lower levels of serum calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, zinc, chromium, iron and selenium.² Research demonstrates that combined supplementation with calcium, zinc, manganese, and copper significantly improves bone gain in post-menopausal women, a life-stage group at risk for developing osteoporosis.¹ Copper also interacts with iron to help form red blood cells.³ Copper is a cofactor for ceruloplasmin, which oxidizes iron to Fe³⁺, allowing iron to bind its transport protein transferrin.³ Iron can then be delivered to the bone marrow for the formation of red blood cells, which transport oxygen through the body.^3,4
