Explore mineral and trace-element supplements including magnesium, zinc, calcium, iron, potassium, selenium, chromium, copper and silicon. The range includes single-mineral capsules and tablets, multi-mineral formulas, sprays, liquids and electrolyte powders. Compare the exact mineral, its form and amount in the recommended daily serving, additional nutrients and dietary suitability before choosing.
Start with the mineral you want to compare
Minerals are not one interchangeable product group. A magnesium formula, an iron product and an electrolyte powder have different compositions and label information. Use the ingredient-specific collections when you already know what you are looking for:
- potassium supplements
- calcium supplements
- chromium supplements
- copper supplements
- iron supplements
- selenium supplements
- silicon supplements
Magnesium and zinc are prominent within the wider collection, with products that use one or several mineral forms and may include vitamins, amino acids or botanical ingredients.
Compare mineral forms and amounts per serving
A mineral name on the front of the pack does not describe the complete formula. The ingredient list may identify forms such as citrate, bisglycinate, malate, gluconate or other compounds. Products can combine several forms in one serving. The label should also state the amount of elemental mineral supplied by the recommended daily serving where applicable.
Do not compare products by capsule weight or scoop size alone. A larger tablet or powder serving can include carrier ingredients, flavourings or several minerals. Compare the declared mineral amount, full daily serving and package yield. Claims about absorption or tolerance should be assessed product by product rather than assumed from a category name.
Single-mineral products and combination formulas
A single-mineral supplement makes the main daily amount easy to identify. Combination products may include several minerals, vitamins or other active ingredients in one formula. Examples in the current range include calcium with vitamins D and K, selenium with zinc and vitamins, magnesium with vitamin B compounds, and specialist zinc or iron combinations.
Combination formulas can be convenient, but they also increase the chance of overlap with multivitamins, electrolyte powders and fortified foods. Check every active ingredient and compare the complete routine before adding another mineral product.
Electrolyte powders are mineral formulas too
Electrolyte products can contain sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, calcium or other minerals in different proportions. Some are flavoured and sweetened, while others are unflavoured or sugar-free. Compare the mineral amounts in the full prepared serving, water volume, sachet or scoop instructions and any added vitamins or specialist ingredients.
For a more focused comparison of electrolyte and mixed formulas, browse additional supplements. Products positioned for training and active use can also be found in sports nutrition.
Choose a format that can be used accurately
Capsules and tablets provide fixed amounts. Powders and liquids require measuring, while oral sprays use a stated number of sprays per serving. The practical choice depends on serving accuracy, flavour, storage, portability and whether the product is comfortable to use consistently.
Check vegan or vegetarian suitability, allergens, capsule material, sweeteners and other added ingredients on the individual page and pack. A mineral itself may be compatible with a vegan diet while the finished capsule or supporting ingredients are not.
Review the total intake and product warnings
Minerals can appear in several products at the same time, including multivitamins, sports drinks and fortified foods. Review the total daily amounts before combining formulas and follow the stated serving. More is not automatically better.
Individual suitability can depend on medicines, pregnancy or breastfeeding, age and existing health conditions. Iron, potassium and highly concentrated mineral formulas in particular should not be selected solely from a general category description. Ask a healthcare professional or pharmacist when the appropriate product or intake is uncertain.
Frequently asked questions about mineral supplements
What should I compare in a mineral supplement?
Check the exact mineral, chemical form, amount in the full daily serving, additional active ingredients, format, dietary suitability and warnings.
Is a multi-mineral better than a single mineral?
Neither is universally better. A single mineral is easier to assess, while a multi-mineral combines several ingredients. The relevant choice depends on the labelled composition and individual circumstances.
Are electrolyte powders mineral supplements?
They are formulas containing one or more minerals described as electrolytes. Amounts and proportions vary, so compare the complete prepared serving.
Can minerals be taken with a multivitamin?
Check for repeated ingredients first. A multivitamin may already contain several minerals. Follow labelled servings and seek professional advice when needed.
