Purpose of this collection: to help you choose the right minerals for your needs: sports recovery, bone health, immunity, sleep, or hormonal balance.
Why Are Minerals Essential?
Essential minerals are involved in hundreds of biological functions: energy production, muscle contraction, maintenance of acid-base balance, hormonal regulation, and cellular hydration. Not synthesized by the body, they must be obtained through food or supplementation. Intense athletes have particularly increased needs due to sweat losses.
Key Minerals in This Collection
Magnesium — Stress management, cramp prevention, sleep quality, nerve transmission. More than 70% of the population has an insufficient intake. See our Magnesium collection for a more in-depth selection.
Zinc — Immunity, healing, testosterone production, skin health. High losses through perspiration in athletes. An essential supplement when combined with selenium.
Calcium — The main component of bones and teeth. Helps maintain bone density, muscle contraction, and nerve transmission. Works synergistically with vitamin D and magnesium.
ZMA (Zinc + Magnesium + Vitamin B6) — Overnight sports recovery formula: deep sleep, accelerated muscle recovery, hormonal metabolism support. Ideal during periods of intense training.
Force Addict Pro advice: calcium reduces zinc and iron absorption. Space out doses. Take ZMA 30-60 min before bedtime, on an empty stomach (2h after the last meal) for optimal absorption.

Key Takeaways
Minerals are essential micronutrients not synthesized by the body. Magnesium for stress and cramps, zinc for immunity and hormones, calcium for bones, and ZMA for overnight recovery. Choose bioavailable forms (bisglycinate, citrate) and observe interactions between minerals.
