Just like vitamins, minerals (such as magnesium, selenium, iodine, copper, and even bio-active silver) play an important role in our overall health. While the NIH suggests that people look to whole foods to get the daily recommended intake, “some people who don’t get enough vitamins and minerals from food alone, or who have certain medical conditions, might benefit from taking one or more of these nutrients found in single-nutrient supplements or in multivitamins.”
How Minerals Impact Our Health
Meeting our nutritional needs through a healthy diet is ideal, but not always achievable. From busier seasons where we reach for prepared meals more often, to poor soil quality around the country, it’s common for people to have nutritional deficiencies, even when eating a balanced diet. When our mineral levels are balanced, they help with everything from supporting brain activity to regulating our cells. For example, this study explains how magnesium is the “the second most abundant intracellular cation after potassium, and is involved in over 600 enzymatic reactions including energy metabolism and protein synthesis.”

Trace Minerals sources its magnesium from Utah’s Inland Sea, a large collection of ponds surrounded by mountains. When melting snow rushes down to the rivers below, it picks up minerals that get caught in the basin and are then harvested for the brand’s popular supplements.
Sovereign Silver
Known for its line of mineral hydrosols, Sovereign Silver has options for the whole family (including your pets!). Made with colloidal silver, this brand’s supplements tap into leading research on this ingredient’s potential to help with tissue repair and wound healing.
