Chelated Multi Mineral, Albion TRAACS, 240 Caps

It is a must that we keep up on our minerals. I am a regular user of Healthy Origins minerals. I like that it does not contain iron! As a firm believer in using quality supplements as part of my longevity strategy, I cannot emphasize the role of minerals in the body enough. These are a good value. The pills are a little large, but I don't complain because I appreciate the benefits.

This is a unique product. At the time I purchased this, I found no other mineral only supplement with quality ingredients on Amazon. This Healthy Origins supplement contains all TRAACS chelated minerals. In terms of bioavaiability and absorption, mineral supplements that are chelated with glycinate are typically superior to any other form. The most reliable source is the TRAACS Albion process of manufacturing glycinate chelates. Minerals (or vitamins) that aren't absorbed are a waste of money at best - at worst they result in intestinal distress and multiple trips to the bathroom. Poor-quality mineral chelations include aspartate, pidolate, and oxide. Zinc oxide is the worst! I tried to find and use a multi mineral+vitamin supplement with quality ingredients across the board. I landed on Thorne Research - Basic Nutrients III (there are several other brands with similar quality ingredients). The problem was that it contains exorbitant amounts of the B-vitamins. (7500% RDA of B12 and 2667% of Thiamin etc). For Thorne (and other similar multis), a serving size is 6 capsules. I never took more than 3 and I experienced, headaches, kidney pain and eye twitching - even with taking only 1 capsule. Other reports indicate that excess of some B-vitamins can cause neuropathy and can promote diabetes if used long term. Even if 1 capsule would've been tolerable, the mineral amounts (zinc, magnesium etc) would've been negligible. I came to the conclusion that all multi vitamin+mineral supplements had either poor quality ingredients or force you to ingest a truck load of b-vitamins. I found no exceptions to this on Amazon. So I decided to purchase separate multivitamin and multi-mineral supplements. There are very few in each of those categories and even fewer that contain quality ingredients. That is how I landed on Healthy Orgins multi-mineral supplement. Good quality ingredients and no added crap. - Deduct a half star for getting Iodine from Kelp. Kelp is a dubious source since it could contain contaminants. - Deduct a half star for the servings size. One capsule generally gives you 25% of most ingredients. Two capsules generally give you 50% of most ingredients. I think it should give you 50% and 100% respectively. - Bump it up one star since this product currently fills a unique niche on Amazon. There are very few multi mineral only supplements available and this is the only one with quality (TRAACS) ingredients. I take this multi-mineral in tandem with this multivitamin: Multi-Vitamin Complex 60 vcaps · Enhanced Absorption & Bioavailability · by Adaptogen Research Pharmaceutical Grade Supplements

Bought because I don't eat well occasionally. After a month plus of taking this Healthy Origins Chelated Minerals, my digestive system is working in a way it hasn't in years. More energy as well. Very happy with the purchase.

This is a great company and a great formulation-- top drawer and in the correct amounts for most people. Unfortunately for me, this product now causes nighttime leg/ foot cramps. (I've gone on and off of the supplement 8 times, and each time the cramps stop when I stop taking it, and start when I start taking it again). This is likely not the fault of the supplement and rather something to do with my own chemistry, but since I did see one other review that mentioned getting leg cramps so I thought I would post my experience. I eat a very high-quality, organic, balanced diet, and am super healthy otherwise, so it's possible that I already have sufficient mineral levels in my body and taking this just overflows the proverbial bucket. In any case, the manufacturer is very good and the quality is excellent, so if you DO need mineral supplementation this is the product I would use.

Great value

I love this Multi Mineral. Feels good while taking it.

Works Great

Best ratios/contents of the various minerals, without a lot of calcium/magnesium (which usually dampen the other minerals). Costs more than most others, but definitely worth the price.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good

This is the only brand that does not offer mega dosage which is good for me.

Very good suplment

Good for health
