Sulfur, a vital nutrient for cellular functioning, may not be at the top of your list of supplements, but it is one mineral you cannot live without. Read on to learn how you can boost your vital energy and metabolism by adding more sulfur-rich foods to your diet
Sulfur is a natural, non-metallic mineral and the 10th most abundant element in the universe. It is the third largest mineral concentration in the human body (after calcium and phosphorus) and is considered fundamentally important to human health. While there is no Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for sulfur, modern adults primarily derive their dietary sulfur requirements from the synthesis of proteins, specifically the sulfur-containing amino acids methionine, cysteine, cystine, homocysteine, homocystine and taurine.
