As the most abundant mineral in your body, calcium is extremely important to the body. Calcium greatly contributes to bone health, as well as muscle function, nerve function, blood clotting, blood pressure, and hormone secretion.

Copper is necessary for biological processes, including energy production, iron metabolism, red blood cell production, neuropeptide activation, connective tissue synthesis, and neurotransmitter synthesis.

This whitepaper provides a general overview of the design and product attributes of First & Foremost, an evidence-based, nutrition supplement program that is designed to provide comprehensive nutrition and optimal bioavailability.

All of these nutrients have unique functions in the body, but with so many, it can be hard to know what we are missing in our diets. These are five nutrients that adult men need to supplement to meet their needs and maintain health and wellness.
