The 90 Essential Nutrients, Explained
90 Essential Nutrients.
One Simple Daily Routine.
Your body relies on 90 nutrients it cannot make on its own — every single day. Explore all four families below, then find the pak that delivers every one of them.
Take the Free 3-Minute Assessment Shop the 90 For Life Paks"Essential" has a precise meaning in nutrition: a nutrient your body requires for normal structure and function but cannot produce itself. It must come from your food — or, when modern diets and depleted farm soils fall short, from supplementation.
Minerals: the foundation
The largest family by far — the major minerals your body uses in bulk plus dozens of trace and rare-earth elements. Modern farm soils are often depleted of trace minerals, which is why 90 For Life supplements all 60 rather than a select few, with plant-derived colloidal minerals as a highly absorbable source.
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Selenium
- Chromium
- Iodine
- Copper
- Manganese
- Boron
- + 51 more
Vitamins: daily cellular support
The fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) plus vitamin C and the complete B-complex family. Each supports normal cellular structure and function — from energy metabolism to antioxidant activity. Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0 delivers this family alongside the minerals in one serving.
- A
- D
- E
- K
- C
- B1–B12
- Biotin
- Folate
- Choline
- Inositol
Amino acids: the building blocks
Amino acids are what your body builds protein from — muscle, connective tissue, enzymes, and neurotransmitters all depend on them. The essential twelve must arrive through diet, and they support the body's normal daily maintenance and repair processes.
- Lysine
- Leucine
- Isoleucine
- Valine
- Methionine
- Phenylalanine
- Threonine
- Tryptophan
- Histidine
- Arginine
Fatty acids: every cell membrane
Omega-3 and omega-6. Your body builds them into every cell membrane, and they support normal cardiovascular, brain, and skin function. Balance matters — most modern diets are already heavy in omega-6, so quality supplementation emphasizes omega-3, as in Ultimate EFA Plus.
- Omega-3
- Omega-6

Common questions
What are the 90 essential nutrients?
They are 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, and 2 essential fatty acids — the nutrients the human body requires for normal structure and function but cannot manufacture on its own. They must come from food or supplementation.
How do I get all 90 in one daily routine?
Youngevity's foundational packs — like the Healthy Body Start Pak 2.0, built around Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0, Beyond Osteo-Fx, and Ultimate EFA Plus — were formulated to deliver all 90 essential nutrients together in one simple daily routine.
Is Healing With Minerals an authorized Youngevity retailer?
Yes. Healing With Minerals is operated by an authorized Youngevity distributor based in Chula Vista, California, and sells genuine Youngevity products sourced directly from Youngevity.
Why supplement instead of relying on food alone?
Decades of intensive farming have left many soils depleted of trace minerals, so even a careful diet can fall short of all 60 essential minerals. Supplementation is a practical way to cover the full spectrum consistently.
