About Mineral Balance
Hi, I’m Ramzi Hofayz, the person behind Mineral Balance.
I’ve always been interested in supplements. Like a lot of people, I started out taking them fairly haphazardly, assuming that one supplement was much like another and that more was probably better.
Over time I found that minerals made the biggest difference to how I felt. What nobody had warned me about was how powerful that difference could be, in both directions. The right mineral could help noticeably, but taking it in the wrong combination or balance could leave me feeling worse than before.
After a long period of trial and error, I started to see a pattern. Minerals don’t work in isolation. They have specific relationships with each other:
- Some work together, supporting each other’s absorption and function.
- Some compete, fighting for the same absorption pathways in the body.
- Some interfere, reducing how well another mineral is absorbed.
Reading online, I realised I wasn’t alone. People everywhere were describing similar experiences: unexpected symptoms, suspected deficiencies, and some real success stories once they found the right balance. That’s when I started researching these relationships properly, and Mineral Balance was born.
The site shares what I’ve learned, both from published research and from my own experience. It’s also why I’m building an interactive Mineral Wheel: a simple, visual way to see how minerals interact, so you don’t have to learn it all the hard way like I did.
A quick note on who I am, and who I’m not
I’m not a doctor, nutritionist or pharmacist. I’m someone who has spent a lot of time researching, experimenting and talking with others about minerals. I link to my sources wherever I can, and I’d always encourage you to speak to your GP or pharmacist before making changes to your supplements, especially if you have a health condition or take medication.
