************************************************************************
In human beings, like any other contiguous living system, there are four main necessary elements to support live;, which are: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen - presented in common organic molecules. In addition and not less essential, living systems requires dietary minerals and elements - also known as mineral nutrients – which are the chemicals required by living organisms, other than the main four elements.
Dietary minerals are required to support human biochemical processes by serving structural and functional roles as well as electrolytes: Most of the known and suggested dietary elements are of relatively low atomic weight, and are reasonably common on land, or at least, common in the ocean.
They play an important and a vital role in the well being of the human body. Not less if not more important than vitamins. Excessive dosage may cause serious illness as their deficiency can cause threat to life, brain, and metabolism.
Some major minerals are calcium, selenium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc, and iodine. Most minerals that enter into the dietary physiology of organisms consist of simple chemical elements. Larger aggregates of minerals need to be broken down for absorption. Bacteria play an essential role in the weathering of primary minerals that results in the release of nutrients for their own nutrition and for the nutrition of others in the ecological food chain.
