Other minerals

​

Below is a periodic table showing most elements that exists and their characteristics in the human body. Only the few listed above have a role in the human body, most are inert or highly toxic, clearly showing that with the exception of a large dozen of elements, the other five dozens have no use for us and the "minerals are good for us" is only applicable to a small fraction of them. Be aware that Any product promoting an extremely high number of 'minerals' is either deceptive or toxic.

In the following table, the colour code apply to their role in the human body:

Green is Essential. The human body cannot function properly in the absence of those elements. If it’s lacking you have a deficiency with potentially life-threatening symptoms

Lime Green is Non-Essential. These are less common alternatives to essential minerals.  If it’s lacking, there is no deficiency since it is only playing the same role than a more abundant mineral.

Yellow is Inert. These elements are called the inert gases and do not interact with anything including the human body

Light Orange is Inactive. These minerals are not known to play any essential biological role. Scientific studies show that in absence of this element, there is strictly no change in your body. Some of these minerals are used in specific medical treatments.

Red is Toxic. These minerals are harmful to the human body. Toxicity definition requires a threshold concentration before causing measurable harm. In normal conditions, daily intake of these minerals are below toxicity levels.
