In traces
The term trace element dates from the time when chemists could only detect these substances in tissue but could not measure them. They were present only in traces. Accordingly, the body needs only micrograms to a few milligrams of them per day.
Made in the United States
Seeking Health has Trace Minerals Complex made in the United States according to GMP. Zinc, selenium, copper, manganese, chromium and molybdenum are Albion® chelates, and iodine is included as potassium iodide. The capsule is plant-based and the product is vegan.
Facts about this product
One capsule a day with a meal. At 30 mg, the zinc content is high, above the 25 mg that the EFSA uses as its upper limit. For that reason, do not combine with other supplements containing zinc. If you do not want extra copper, choose Complex II.
