Iron Balance (am)

Calcium and Phosphorous Balance (pm)

Toxic metals Mercury, Arsenic , Lead , etc
Molybdenum and Manganese aid iron metabolim and lowers Copper and magnesium

Balance of Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium and  Calcium

 Calcium lowers manganese

Calcium antagonist with Lead
Iron is lowered by Calcium and magnesium

Magnesium lowers sodium , potassium and manganese

Potassium lowers calcium and magnesium and synergistic with sodium

Phosphorus synergestic with calcium and antagonist with Manganese

Boron and Vitamin D aids in calcium and magnesium metabolism

 Sulphur and copper lowers Selenium and zinc Selenium antagonistic with Mercury and arsenic

Calcium and Molybdenum and Silica

Calcium and Silica lowers Aluminum and Lead

 Mercury lowers Silica
Copper, manganese and iron are synergistic

Zinc is lowered by Copper, calcium and Iron

 Zinc has relationship with Aldosterone, cortisol, testosterone and progesterone Extra Copper and Manganese lowered by Zinc
Iodine

Iodine has relationship with copper, selenium and magnesium

 Lowered by mercury and cobalt

Omega 3, Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 aid in calcium and magnesium metabolism

Note: Vinegar and citrus help in the absorption of minerals in whole foods. Only 20% of iron are absorbed from plants and more than 35% are absorbed from animal based foods. Calcium and magnesium ratio is 60:40 . Nuts, beans and lentils and dark leafy greens , fish, seeds, shellfish , whole grains and mushrooms are tops in minerals
