Minerals in Chewing gum
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.
Fluandide (5 µg), Potassium (2 mg) and Sodium (1 mg) are some of the minerals present in Chewing gum.

Selenium is one of many important dietary minerals, and we require a small amount of selenium in our daily diet. Selenium is incorporated in a small cluster of important proteins (called “selenoproteins”), each of which plays a critical role in our health.
