When it comes to minerals role to the metabolism: ✔ They play a key role in the constitution of bones and teeth. ✔  T hey contribute in the maintenance of cardiac rhythm, muscular contraction, the neural conductivity and acid base balance. ✔  Regulate metabolism, facilitate energy release. ✔  Controls the water balance (osmotic pressure). ✔  Supply of oxygen in the body cells. ✔   Catalyze many metabolic reactions.
