Minerals: the perfect supplement for balanced health
Physical activity and sweating cause us to lose mineral salts, a substance that's essential for proper bodily function. But what are mineral salts, and why are they important in sport?
What are mineral supplements?
Mineral salts are naturally occurring non-organic substances with a defined and predictable chemical composition and physical properties.
Minerals are as important for health as vitamins. They account for up to 5% of body weight and are classified into macrominerals and trace elements.
A healthy balanced diet usually provides all the essential minerals you need. However, in many cases the body needs dietary supplements or food supplements that are rich in minerals to help meet its needs.
When doing so, it’s important that you always follow the advice of specialists.
What are they for?
Minerals are involved in most of the body's biochemical processes, and their main function is purely regulatory. They play a crucial role in the metabolism of proteins and fats, as well as in the growth and absorption of vitamins and other nutrients. If there's a lack of one or more minerals, a deficiency occurs. They usually develop slowly, with symptoms that, in their early stages, may be so mild as to go undetected, but they can increase in severity if not addressed.
What are the best mineral supplements?
When purchasing products, it's important to know which forms of minerals are of the highest quality. This way, you'll ensure their absorption is maximised and that they provide a good elemental amount of the mineral.
The first thing to know is that minerals are marketed in the form of salts (mineral salts). This form improves their solubility, absorption, distribution, utilisation and retention in the body, as the bioavailability of elemental electrolytes is very low.
The best mineral salts for athletes are:
Buy minerals online at HSN
- At HSN we maintain transparent practices so that you know at all times what minerals you are using and in what quantity.
- The daily dose of our magnesium bisglycinate, for example, indicates the elemental magnesium content (350mg), as does the content of each vegetable capsule (175mg).
- Companies that list 350mg of magnesium bisglycinate are actually selling little more than 70mg of elemental magnesium, because they reflect on their products the amounts used of the whole mineral salt, not the elemental mineral.
- Don't be fooled! Trust companies like HSN, with certified quality and good manufacturing and marketing practices.

Mineral types
For the body to function properly, it needs minerals, in particular the so-called essential minerals, which are divided into two groups:
- Macro or major minerals.
- Trace elements or microminerals.
Both are equally important, although trace elements are needed in small amounts, and macrominerals in large amounts.
These are some of the functions of the body in which different types of minerals are involved:
Macrominerals
- Magnesium: contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, protein synthesis in the body. Aids in electrolyte balance and energy metabolism, neurotransmission and muscle contraction. Contribution to normal psychological functions, maintenance of bones, teeth and cell division.
- Calcium: contributes to the body's functions such as blood clotting, energy metabolism, muscle function and neurotransmission. Digestive enzyme function, normal maintenance of bones and teeth, regulation of cell division and differentiation.
- Phosphorus: contributes to proper energy metabolism, cell membrane function and proper maintenance of bones and teeth.
- Potassium: helps with muscle and neurological function, as well as with the maintenance of blood pressure.
- Chloride: contributes to normal digestion through the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
- Sulphur.
- Sodium.
Trace elements
- Zinc: contributes to DNA synthesis and cell division. Acid-base metabolism and the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, macronutrients, vitamin A and protein synthesis. Cognitive function, fertility and reproduction, maintenance of bones, hair, nails and skin. In addition to the maintenance of vision and immune system function.
- Iron: contributes to cognitive function, normal energy metabolism, formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin. Oxygen transport, immune system function, reduction of fatigue and tiredness and cell division.
- Iodine: contribution to normal cognitive and neurological function, normal energy metabolism, skin maintenance. Normal thyroid function and production of thyroid hormones.
- Selenium: contributes to normal spermatogenesis, normal maintenance of hair and nails. Normal immune system function and normal thyroid function. As well as protection of cells against oxidative stress.
- Copper: contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues, normal energy metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous and immune systems. Contributes to normal pigmentation of hair and skin, normal iron transport and protection of cells against oxidative stress.
- Manganese: contributes to normal energy metabolism and normal connective tissue formation. Normal bone maintenance and protection of cells against oxidative stress.
- Fluorine: helps to maintain the mineralisation of teeth.
- Chrome: contributions to normal macronutrient metabolism and to maintaining normal blood glucose levels.
- Molybdenum: contributes to the normal metabolism of sulphur-containing amino acids.

Frequently asked questions about mineral supplements for athletes
Amongst the foods containing sodium (per 100g), table salt (38758mg) stands out; sunflower seeds are rich in potassium (645mg); sesame seeds are rich in calcium (975mg); chia seeds are a good source of phosphorus (948mg); and pumpkin seeds are a good source of magnesium (535mg).
Other foods containing vitamins and minerals include nuts, seafood, fruits, leafy vegetables, pulses and whole grains.
Mineral salts are lost during sport, through physical exercise and when sweating, but can also be lost through alcohol consumption, excessive food consumption, some diseases and drugs, as well as other external factors.
Athletes eliminate sodium (413mg), potassium (121mg), calcium (13mg), magnesium (4mg) and chloride (533mg) with every litre of sweat.
These are drinks that provide a mixture of minerals, together with other nutrients and substances, such as sodium, potassium and magnesium. These minerals play an important role for sportspeople and high-performance athletes.
Athletes lose water and mineral salts due to various factors, such as sweating with increased body temperature. These minerals include sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and magnesium, as well as other substances, which are lost in smaller proportions.
Deficiencies in minerals such as sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium can also cause muscle cramps, amongst other issues.
