Miracle of Micro Mineral in Livestock

Dr Kedar karki

OVERVIEW
As important as vitamins are, they can do nothing for you without minerals. Vitamins
cannot be assimilated without the aid of minerals. And though the body can manufacture
a few vitamins, it cannot manufacture a single mineral. All tissues and internal fluids of
our body contain varying quantities of minerals. Minerals are constituents of the bones,
teeth, soft tissue, muscle, blood, and nerve cells. They an vital to overall mental and
physical will- being.
Minerals act as catalysts for many biological reactions within the body, including muscles
through the nervous system, the production of hormones, digestion, and the utilization of
nutrients in foods.

CALCIUM IMPORTANCE:
Builds and maintains bones and teeth; regulates heart rhythm; eases insomnia; helps
regulate the passage of nutrients in & out the cill walls; assists it normal blood clotting;
helps maintain proper nerve and muscle research reduces the incidence of colon cancer,
and reduces blood cholesterol levels.

DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS:
May result in arm and leg muscles spasms, softening of bones, back and leg cramps,
brittle bones, rickets, poor growth, osteoporosis (a deterioration of the bones), tooth
decay, depression.

MAGNESIUM IMPORTANCE:
Plays an important role in regulating the neuromuscular activity of the heart; maintains
normal heart rhythm; necessary for proper calcium & Vitamin C metabolism; converts
blood sugar into energy.
DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS:
May result in calcium depletion, heart spasms, nervousness, muscular excitability,
confusion, and kidney stones.

IRON IMPORTANCE:
Its major function is to combine with protein and copper in making hemoglobin.
Hemoglobin transports oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the tissue, which needs
oxygen to maintain basic life functions. Iron builds up the quality of the blood and
increase resistance to stress and disease. It is also necessary for the formation of
myoglobin, which is found only in muscle tissue. Myoglobin supplies oxygen to muscle
cells for use in the chemical reaction that results in muscle contraction. Iron also prevent
fatigue and promotes good skin tone.
DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS:
May result in weakness, paleness of skin, constipation, al anemia.

IODINE IMPORTANCE:
Aids in the development and functioning of the thyroid gland; regulates the body's
production of energy; helps burn excess fat by stimulating the rate of metabolism;
mentality, speech, the condition of the hair, skin, & teeth are dependent upon a well-
functioning thyroid gland.

DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS:
May result in an enlarged thyroid gland, slow mental reaction, dry skin and hair, weight
hair loss of physical and mental vigor.

COPPER IMPORTANCE:
Necessary for the absorption and utilization of Iron; helps oxidize Vitamin C and works
with Vitamin C to form Elastin, a chief component of the Elastir muscle fibers throughout
the body; aids in the formation of red blood cells; helps proper bone formation and
maintenance.
DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS: May result in general weakness, impaired respiration,
skin sores.

ZINC IMPORTANCE:
Is an antioxidant nutrient; necessary for protein synthesis; wound healing; vital for the
development of the reproductive organs, prostate functions and male hormone activity; it
governs the contractility of muscles; important for blood stability; maintains the body's
alkaline balance; helps in normal tissue function; aids in the digestion and metabolism of
phosphorus.
DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS: May result in delayed sexual maturity, prolonged healing
wounds, white spots on finger nails, retarded growth, stretch marks, fatigue, decteased
alertness, susceptibility to infections.

MANGANESE IMPORTANCE:
An antioxidant nutrient; important in the blood breakdown of amino acids and the
production of energy; necessary for the metabolism of Vitamin B-1 and Vitamin E;
Activates various enzymes which are important for proper digestion and utilization of
foods; is a catalyst in the breakdown of fats and cholesterol; helps nourish the nerves and
brain. Necessary for normal skeletal development; maintains sex hormone production.
DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS:
May result in paralysis, convulsions, dizziness, ataxia, loss of hearing, digestive
problems, blindness and deafness in infants.

CHROMIUM IMPORTANCE:
Works with insulin in the metabolism of sugar and stabilizes blood sugar levels; cleans
the arteries by reducing Cholesterol and Triglyceride levels. Also helps control the
appetite medical research has shown that persons with low levels of Chromium in their
bodies are more susceptible to having cancer and heart problems and becoming diabetic.
DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS: May result in glucose intolerance in diabetics;
arterioscleroses, heart disease, depressed growth, obesity, tiredness.

POTASSIUM IMPORTANCE:
Work with sodium to regulate the body's waste balance and normal heart rhythms; aids in
clear thinking by sending oxygen to the brain; preserves proper alkalinity of body fluids;
stimulates the kidneys to eliminate poisonous body wastes assists in reducing high blood
pressure; promotes healthy skin.
DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS:
May result in poor reflexes, nervous disorders, respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, and
muscle damage.

SELENIUM IMPORTANCE:

2
A major antioxidant nutrient protects cell membranes and prevents free radical generation
thereby decreasing the risk of cancer and disease of the heart and blood vessels. Medical
surveys show that increased selenium intake decreases the risk of breast, colon, lung and
prostate cancer. Selenium also preserves tissue elasticity; slows down the aging and
hardening of tissue through oxidation; helps the treatment and prevention of dandruff.

DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS:
May result in premature aging, heart disease, dandruff, and loose skin.

TRACE MINERALS
Minerals that occur in tiny amounts or traces. They play a major role in health, since even
minute portions of them can powerfully affect health. They are essential in the
assimilation and utilization of vitamins and other nutrients. They aid in digestion and
provide the catalyst of many hormones, enzymes and essential body functions and
reactions. They also aid in replacing electrolytes lost through heavy perspiration or
extended diarrhea and protects against toxic reaction and heavy metal poisoning.
