Energy catalysts: They can be compared with spark plugs that ignite gasoline. Your food has to be oxidized (burned) to release cellular energy. Every cell in the body/brain (particularly brain) requires all the vitamins (vital to life) and minerals.Without any of them we become sick and eventually die.
