FAQs
What are trace minerals and why do we need them?
Trace minerals are minerals required by the body in small but essential amounts. They act as cofactors for hundreds of enzymes and are involved in processes including thyroid hormone production (iodine), antioxidant defence (selenium, zinc), blood sugar regulation (chromium), and bone health (manganese, boron). Modern diets often fall short of optimal trace mineral intake due to soil depletion and food processing.
Why take this separately from a multivitamin?
Many general multivitamins include inadequate amounts of trace minerals, or use poorly absorbed forms. This formula focuses specifically on trace minerals in evidence-backed, bioavailable forms.
Is this suitable for vegans?
Yes — all ingredients are vegetarian and vegan-friendly. The capsule is plant-derived cellulose.
Is iodine safe for everyone?
While iodine is essential for thyroid function, those with thyroid conditions (particularly Hashimoto's or hyperthyroidism) should consult a healthcare professional before supplementing with iodine.
Can I take this alongside other supplements?
Yes, but be mindful of total mineral intake across all your supplements to avoid exceeding recommended daily amounts for any individual mineral. Consult a healthcare professional if in doubt.
