Ingredients explained
Zinc (as Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate)
Zinc serves as a cofactor for many enzymes and supports cellular signaling and antioxidant defenses through roles in protein synthesis and immune cell function.
Caution: High zinc intake can interfere with copper balance; avoid taking with large doses of iron or calcium at the same time as they may compete for absorption.
Selenium (as L-Selenomethionine)
Selenium is incorporated into selenoproteins that help regulate antioxidant activity and thyroid hormone metabolism.
Caution: Do not exceed suggested use because excessive selenium intake may cause unwanted effects such as gastrointestinal upset.
Chromium (as Chromium Nicotinate Glycinate Chelate)
Chromium is studied for its role in enhancing the action of insulin at the cellular level, supporting normal carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
Caution: Take with food if sensitive, and avoid combining with high-dose biotin at the same time as it may affect certain lab readings.
Manganese (as Manganese Citrate)
Manganese acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in energy metabolism and antioxidant enzyme function such as manganese superoxide dismutase.
Caution: Excessive manganese from multiple sources may be undesirable; use as directed, especially if exposed to manganese at work.
Boron (as Boron Glycinate Complex)
Boron may influence mineral and hormone metabolism, helping the body handle calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D.
Caution: Keep to suggested amounts because very high intakes of boron may cause digestive discomfort.
How they work together
Zinc, selenium, manganese, and boron provide complementary enzyme cofactor and mineral metabolism roles, supporting antioxidant systems and mineral utilization. Chromium focuses on carbohydrate handling, while the other minerals back cellular processes and oxidative balance for broad foundational coverage.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before use.
Who should be cautious: People with diabetes or on blood-sugar-lowering medications may want to monitor closely due to chromium. Those with thyroid concerns should be cautious with selenium and iodine status. Individuals with kidney issues may want to limit manganese and boron. If combining with medications that may interact with chromium, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.

Overview
- Dietary Supplement
- Foundational
- Gluten Free
Research on trace minerals has conclusively demonstrated their importance to human health. Trace minerals are cofactors for most of the body's enzymatic reactions, as well as being essential for proper hormone and neurotransmitter function. Many of the trace minerals can be obtained from the diet by eating fruits and vegetables; however, mineral depletion of the soil has rendered much of today's produce deficient in these essential nutrients. A deficiency of one or more of the trace minerals can adversely impact cardiovascular health, bone health, fertility, cognitive function, and immune function. Even a mild deficiency of a trace mineral can result in less than optimal growth and development. Trace Minerals is a comprehensive trace mineral formulation of well-absorbed forms for superb absorption.
