Ingredients explained
Zinc (as zinc bisglycinate chelate)
Zinc acts as a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes involved in antioxidant defenses, DNA synthesis, and immune cell function.
Caution: High zinc intake may reduce copper absorption; take only as directed and avoid combining with high-dose standalone zinc unless guided.
Selenium (from selenium yeast)
Selenium supports selenoproteins like glutathione peroxidases that help manage oxidative stress and thyroid hormone activation.
Caution: Excess selenium may cause unwanted effects such as brittle hair or nails; do not exceed suggested use, especially if using other selenium products.
Copper (as copper bisglycinate chelate)
Copper serves as a cofactor for enzymes involved in energy production, iron metabolism, and antioxidant activity such as superoxide dismutase.
Caution: High copper intake can be problematic for some individuals and may interact with high-dose zinc balance; use as directed.
Chromium (as chromium nicotinate glycinate chelate)
Chromium supports normal carbohydrate metabolism by helping insulin signaling pathways work efficiently.
Caution: Chromium may affect blood sugar responses; individuals monitoring blood sugar should observe how they feel when starting.
Manganese (as manganese bisglycinate chelate)
Manganese is a cofactor for enzymes involved in antioxidant defense and connective tissue formation.
Caution: Excess manganese may cause unwanted effects over time; avoid combining with other high-dose manganese supplements.
How they work together
These trace minerals cover complementary enzyme systems: zinc and copper contribute to antioxidant enzymes and cellular metabolism, selenium supports redox balance and thyroid hormone activation, while chromium focuses on carbohydrate handling and manganese supports connective tissue and antioxidant enzymes. Together they address distinct pathways involved in metabolism, antioxidant defense, and structural maintenance.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult a physician before use.
Who should be cautious: People with thyroid concerns or on thyroid medications may want to be cautious with high-dose minerals like zinc and selenium. Those with copper-sensitive conditions or on medications that may be affected by minerals should discuss with a healthcare provider before use.

Overview
- Dietary Supplement
- Providing Quality Products Since 2001
Because of today’s farming practices, food choices and personal health issues, there’s a good chance that you may be deficient in minerals or at least have sub-optimal levels – and you don’t even need to be deficient in minerals to experience the negative effects of low levels.
While you can also run low on some of the more major minerals – called macrominerals – low levels of trace minerals are very common.
To support your immune health, metabolism, thyroid health, fertility, normal detoxification processes, heart and bone health and more, Essential Mineral Complex is formulated to supply you with seven key trace minerals:
- Zinc
- Selenium
- Copper
- Manganese
- Chromium
- Molybdenum
- Boron
To help assure optimal absorption and biological activity, we provide each mineral in its chelated or advanced form.
Trace minerals play a key role in so many of your body’s functions, so why risk sub-optimal levels? Be proactive by helping to protect your health, happiness and longevity with the essential trace minerals your body depends upon, and order Essential Mineral Complex today.
