Minerals/Trace Elements
*
Calcium (Ca) - 0.03 g/100 g - provides structure for bones and teeth, and is essential for nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction and blood clotting.
*
Copper (Cu): 2.20 ppm - necessary for red blood cell development, bones, and nerves.
*
Iron (Fe): 81.00 ppm - essential for blood cells transporting oxygen throughout the body.
*
Manganese (Mn): 0.60 ppm - needed for development of bones and connective tissue, and for normal functioning of the nervous system.
*
Magnesium (Mg): 0.19 g/100 g - needed in metabolic reactions and storing and releasing energy in cells.
*
Phosphorus (P): 0.01 g/100 g - provides structure for bones and teeth, and is a component of nearly all metabolic reactions.
*
Potassium (K): 0.22 g/100 g - needed for nerve and muscle function.
*
Selenium (Se): 0.18ppm - a powerful antioxidant.
*
Sulfur (S): 0.11 g/100 g - is a component of various amino acids and insulin.
*
Zinc (Zn): 3.00 ppm - part of the enzymes involved in digestion and respiration, and is necessary for normal wound healing and skin health.
Proteins/Collagen/Lipid
Proteins (including all essential amino acids) are the structural materials in cells, and aid in growth and repair of tissues.
Collagen is a major structural component of bones, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
Lipids (all essential fatty acids including omega 3 and 6): build cell parts and boost energy for cellular activities.
Growth Hormones and Growth Factors
Growth Factors are essential for growth and maintenance of bones, normal protein and fat metabolism, cartilage growth and bone growth in children. They are also necessary for healthy skin
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs )
* Hyaluronic acid is the cement material of connective tissue and a component of synovial fluid that cushions the joint.
* Chondroitin Sulphate is essential for joint comfort.
* Glucosamine sulfate is an amino sugar that occurs naturally in the body. Its glue-like qualities help to hold tissues together. It is also a major component of synovial fluid, which lubricates and serves as a shock absorber for the joints.
* Erythropoetin is a hormone produced in the kidneys and released into the bloodstream to support the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.
* Prostaglandins are chemical messengers produced in all tissues, causing a broad range of positive effects on many of the body's defense systems.
* Phospholipids are effective structural materials in cell membranes. They help to facilitate the passage of fat in and out of cells and blood.
* Glycosphingolipids are involved in cell metabolism and growth.
