Elements And Compound

Phosphorus: The main function of phosphorus is in the formation of bones and teeth. It plays an important role in the utilization of carbohydrates and fats in the body, in the synthesis of protein for growth, as well as the maintenance and repair of cells and tissues. It is also essential for the production of ATP, a molecule the body uses to store energy.
Magnesium: Magnesium serves severalimportant functions in the body: Muscle contraction and relaxation, functioning of certain enzymes in the body, production and transportation of energy and protein production.
Calcium: The body stores more than 99% of the calcium in the bones and teeth to help them be strong and durable. The rest is found throughout the body in blood, muscle and the fluid between cells. The body needs calcium tohelp muscles and blood vessels to contract and expand, to secrete hormones and enzymes, and sending messages through the nervous system.
Sodium: Helps in the function of nerves and muscles. It also helps maintain the right balance of fluids in the body.
Chlorine: Its main function is to maintain the balance of electrolytes. Regulation of fluids between cells or cell layers.
Potassium: Maintenanceof acid-base and fluid, nerve transmission. Potassium is essential for the proper functioning of the heart, kidneys, muscles, nerves and digestive system. It is required for muscle formation and normal body growth.
Sulfur: Its main function is detoxification or elimination of toxins. Sulfur binds to neutralize these so they can be removed.
Nitrogen: structural part of proteins and nucleic acids.It is in the air in large quantities (78% by volume) but this way is only accessible to a very restricted set of life forms, such as cyanobacteria.
Oxygen: Needed in humans to transform fats, carbohydrates and proteins in our diet into heat energy and life. In addition, one of the functions of oxygen is increased oxygenation of the lungs, which helps to eliminate toxins from the system. Themore oxygen we have in our system, we produce more energy. Plays an important role in many processes. One thing: the human body can only support 4 minutes without oxygen.
Carbon: is the base of carbohydrates, proteins and fats (so called organic chemistry), is from the carbon that constitute each of these molecules, for example, a common carbohydrate is C6H12O6.

Effects of the elements in theHuman body
• Calcium (Ca)
Structure of bone and teeth.
• Phosphorous (Ph)
Structure of bone and teeth. Required for ATP
• Magnesium (Mg)
Important in bone structure. Deficiency results in titan (muscle spasms) and can lead to a calcium deficiency.
• Sodium (Na)
Major electrolyte of blood and extracellular fluid. Required for maintenance of pH and osmotic balance.
• Potassium (K)
Majorelectrolyte of blood and intracellular fluid. Requiredformaintenance of pH and osmótica balance.
• Chlorine (Cl)
Major electrolyte of blood and extracellular and intracellular fluid. Requiredformaintenance of pH and osmotic balance.
• Sulfur (S)
Element of the essential amino acids methionine and cysteine. Contained in the vitamins thiamin and biotin. As part of glutathione it is required fordetoxification. Poor growth due to reduced protein synthesis and lower glutathione levels potentially increasing oxidative or xenobiotic damage are consequences of low sulfur and methionine and/or cysteine intake
• Iron (Fe)
Contained in hemoglobin and myoglobin which are required for oxygen transport in the body
• Copper (Cu)
Contained in enzymes of the ferroxidase (ceruloplasmin?) systemwhich regulates iron transport and facilitates release from storage
• Manganese (Mn)
Major component of the mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme manganese superoxide dismutase.
• odine (I)
Required for production of thyroxine which plays an important role in metabolic rate
• Zinc (Zn)
Important for reproductive function due to its use in FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (leutinizing...
