Copper plays a role in a wide range of physiological processes, such as iron
utilization of enhancing the hrmoglobin. Iron is an integral component of
hemoglobin in transporting oxygen from the lungs to all body cells, thus
increasing the energy use for daily
activities.

3. Potassium
Potassium besides is important in enhancing the brain cells in transmitting
information to the cells in the body and regulating the internal fluid within
the cells, it also prevents muscle constriction, thus reducing the risk of
menstrual cramps and pain.

4. Glucose and Fructose

Glucose and Fructose are simple sugar (monosaccharide) played an
important role to enhance energy production in carbohydrate metabolism for
brain cells need, through a chain chemical action of insulin produced by
pancreas and potassium.

4. Manganese
Beside it is important in forming connective tissues and building of essential
enzymes for building healthy bones, manganese also helps in regulating the
normal function of of thyroid growth hormones and blood sugar level.
