Fun Facts

1. Just like vitamins, minerals help your body grow and stay healthy. The body uses minerals to perform many different functions, for example for building strong bones, or transmitting nerve impulses. Some minerals are even used to make hormones or maintain a normal heartbeat.
2. Vegetables, especially green leafy varieties, are generally our richest sources of potassium. But this mineral can also be found in varying amounts in almost all foods. 28 milligrams of potassium can be found on every 100 grams of Margarine-like spread, SMART BALANCE Regular Buttery Spread with flax oil, the 1% of the total daily recommended potassium intake.
3. Phosphorus is the second most abundant inorganic element in the human body and is a port of many important compounds, including ribonucleic acid (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and sugar phosphates. Phosphate helps to protect blood systemic acid-base balance, and acts as a transport mechanism for energy.
4. Sodium is needed for muscle contractions, nerve transmissions, maintaining pH balance and hydration. Sodium also regulates the fluid outside of the cells and is needed to pump fluid into the cells as potassium carries by-products out. 100 grams of Margarine-like spread, SMART BALANCE Regular Buttery Spread with flax oil contains 646 milligrams of sodium, that’s the 43% of the daily recommended value for an adult.
