All living systems require an optimal balance of essential minerals like Ca, Fe, Zn, Mg, P, K, Na, Mn, Cu, Mo, etc., to maintain their vital processes in good condition. These essential minerals play a crucial role in regulating and maintaining normal blood pressure, electrolyte balance, bone health, development of new cells, oxygen delivery to cells, natural muscle, and nerve functioning.  Chronic deficiencies of one or more of these minerals may lead to adverse health conditions.

Although various nutrient supplements are available in the market choosing the right product in the right sector is the major critical task. Presently, mineral salts of ‘Lacto-Gluconates’ are gaining importance due to being readily soluble and absolutely (100%) bio-available in nature.

These mineral salts of ‘Lacto-Gluconates’ are major targets of pharmaceutical, food, feed, beverages, and nutraceutical industries with high profit as well as functional applications.
