Abstract:
The study of the minerals produced by the human body and their healthy effects is very fascinating in the field of biomineralization. In this review, we introduce firstly the basic concepts and processes related to biomineral and biomineralization, and then give a short summary about the characteristics and species of biominerals and their position in the mineral classification. Furthermore, we focus on the species and the position of biominerals occurred inside the human body, and give a detailed description of the minerals produced by the human body in which the pathological or physiological signals may or may not be embedded.
