Chloride
helps balance electrolytes balances acidity and alkalinity, which helps maintain a healthy pH essential to digestion.
Potassium
regulates your heart and blood pressure helps balance electrolytes aids in transmitting nerve impulses contributes to bone health necessary for muscle contraction.
Magnesium
important to the production of DNA and RNA contributes to nerve and muscle function helps maintain heart rhythm helps regulate blood glucose levels enhances your immune system.
Calcium
