To maintain optimum health, our bodies need 46 essential types of nutrients on a daily basis. Also known as 'metabolic nutrients', the 46 essential nutrients consist of :

8 types of essential amino acids
8 types of vitamins and
20 types of minerals

As their functions are closely inter-linked, it is vital for one to ensure a balanced intake of all 46 essential nutrients on a daily basis. On the other hand, long-term inadequate intake has been linked to metabolic disturbances at cellular level and a higher chance of developing chronic diseases.

Reportedly, about one third of cancer deaths in the U.S. could have been prevented with proper nutrition. This fact is further complicated by the prevalence of chemically-enhanced food and binge-eating habits in the modern living.

The ELKEN MRT Step 1 thus aims to correct and prevent this nutrition imbalance by the means of nutrition supplement where it is necessary.
