Analysis

Zinc bisglycinate, selenium glycinate, copper bisglycinate, manganese bisglycinate, and chromium nicotinate glycinate provide strong form quality. Potassium iodide and molybdenum glycinate extend coverage across thyroid-related nutrition and metabolic enzyme support.

The amounts are more targeted than those in many multivitamins, particularly 200 mcg selenium and 400 mcg chromium. Copper is included alongside zinc, which improves balance, although the formula still omits vitamins and major minerals.

The tiny ConcenTrace addition is not well characterized but does not dominate the clearly disclosed core. It is a good fit for users with a defined trace-mineral need, not a substitute for a complete multivitamin or a product to stack casually.

Who is it for
  • Adults seeking focused trace-mineral support
  • People who value chelated mineral forms
  • Users who already cover vitamins and major minerals elsewhere
Best for
  • Trace-mineral gap filling
  • Thyroid-related nutrient support
  • Metabolic cofactor coverage

Pros

  • Uses well-disclosed chelated mineral forms
  • Balances 15 mg zinc with 2 mg copper
  • Provides meaningful selenium and chromium amounts
  • Covers six targeted trace-mineral collections

Cons

  • Does not replace a complete multivitamin
  • Selenium amount may be more than some users need
  • Chromium amount is high for routine untargeted use
  • ConcenTrace addition is not fully characterized

Warnings

  • Do not casually combine the 200 mcg selenium serving with other high-selenium supplements
  • Chromium may affect glucose control, so people using insulin or glucose-lowering medication should review the 400 mcg serving with a clinician
  • The 150 mcg iodine amount may require care for people with thyroid conditions or thyroid medication

Nutrient quality

91 Highest impact

Several nutrients use well-absorbed organic or active forms. Most amounts are reasonable, though one trace mineral is substantial.

Ingredient transparency

84 Highest impact

The listed active nutrients have specific amounts. A complete inactive ingredient list is not supplied.

Customer satisfaction

71 High impact

The aggregate rating is moderate rather than leading. The modest review count limits confidence in the aggregate rating.

Value for money

93 Highest impact

The supply provides excellent value per daily serving. The nutrient forms and breadth strongly support qualitative value.

A- Goal FitA Strength of SupportB- CoverageA Formula Quality
Zinc · 15 mgSelenium · 200 mcg

Zinc bisglycinate and selenium glycinate provide two direct immune minerals in meaningful amounts. Copper and other trace minerals support balance within the broader mineral formula.

The product lacks vitamin C, vitamin D, and barrier-focused nutrients, so coverage is not complete. It is well suited to targeted mineral support when zinc and selenium are the main gaps.

Chromium, iodine, selenium, and supporting minerals cover glycemic control, thyroid nutrition, and metabolic enzyme needs. The chromium amount is strong, while iodine and selenium provide a coherent thyroid-support pair.

Well-defined chelated forms and clear amounts support confidence in the formula. The streamlined multi-mineral design offers meaningful breadth without stimulant redundancy or extensive padding.

A focused trace-mineral blend supports antioxidant enzymes, thyroid-related nutrition, and several metabolic cofactors. Its role is useful but narrower than a full multivitamin because it omits most vitamins and major minerals.

Chelated forms are named and selenium reaches a substantial amount. The tiny proprietary mineral concentrate is opaque, though it does not dominate the clearly disclosed core formula.

Iodine supports thyroid hormone production, while zinc, selenium, chromium, and other trace minerals support metabolic enzymes. The mineral forms are generally well chosen and clearly disclosed.

The formula can help energy when a relevant deficiency exists but does not provide acute alertness or direct mitochondrial fuel. The tiny proprietary trace-mineral blend adds little evaluable value.

Zinc bisglycinate, selenium glycinate, copper bisglycinate, and potassium iodide provide well-disclosed mineral support for follicles, thyroid function, and antioxidant defense. The forms are generally strong and the amounts are substantial for daily use.

The mineral-only design lacks biotin, vitamin D, amino acids, and structural proteins. Selenium at 200 mcg deserves attention when combined with other selenium sources because excessive intake can itself contribute to hair loss.

Selenium and molybdenum directly support antioxidant enzymes and sulfite metabolism. The formula provides focused cofactor support rather than broad liver or gastrointestinal coverage.

Iodine (Potassium Iodide) · 150 mcg OverallScore99
A+ Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityA+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyA+ Value

The 150 mcg iodine serving aligns with daily thyroid maintenance needs. Potassium iodide is a stable, water-soluble iodine form. The qualifying cofactor adds meaningful value beyond standalone iodine.

A- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityA+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyA+ Value

Molybdenum glycinate provides a premium, highly bioavailable chelated source. The elemental amount is well aligned with targeted metabolic support and remains comfortably safe. The low serving cost and effective amount create excellent molybdenum-specific value.
