To maintain full physiological functionality, the human organism requires not only fundamental nutritional components such as amino acids, lipids, polysaccharides, or vitamin compounds, but also a range of supplementary chemical substances. These essential constituents enter our system through consumed liquids—primarily drinking water—as well as food products, and may occur in either organic or inorganic compound forms, fulfilling pivotal roles in metabolic processes.

What are microelements?

Mineral components are essential for the proper course of metabolic processes. They have a variety of functions, both regulatory and building. It is worth mentioning that the human body consists of more than 50 elements, which make up more than 4% of the body's weight. In nutrition, such elements are classified into two main categories: macroelements, microelements and ultrafine elements (cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium), the role of which is not fully understood.
