Ingredient Database

Magnesium glycinate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium chelated with glycine. It is favored for sleep support and muscle recovery due to excellent absorption and tolerability.

Magnesium citrate is a highly bioavailable, mildly osmotic form of magnesium used for general repletion, mild constipation relief, and cramp/sleep support.

Potassium citrate provides bioavailable potassium with citrate as a systemic alkaliser, useful for electrolyte repletion in athletes and as a clinically validated stone-prevention agent.

Calcium citrate is a well-absorbed calcium salt that does not require gastric acid for absorption, making it suitable for older adults, PPI users, and post-bariatric patients.

Aquamin Mg is a marine-source magnesium hydroxide derived from purified Atlantic seawater, providing magnesium alongside ~74 trace minerals.

Chromium picolinate is a bioavailable form of trivalent chromium that supports insulin action and may modestly reduce carbohydrate cravings.

L-selenomethionine is the organic, amino-acid-bound form of selenium and the main form found in foods. It is absorbed efficiently and incorporated into body proteins, providing a slow-release selenium pool.

Calcium carbonate is a common, inexpensive source of oral elemental calcium used to support bone mineralisation and to replace dietary calcium. Randomised trials in adolescents and selected clinical populations show increases in bone mineral content or density and effects on lean mass at typical supplemental doses; effects depend on baseline status, dose and population.

Calcium lactate is a calcium salt commonly used as a source of dietary calcium. Human trials in the provided abstracts used it as an oral calcium supplement and as a calcium source in beverages; an in vitro study evaluated a calcium lactate pretreatment to enhance fluoride reactivity with dental tissues.

Magnesium L‑threonate is a specialised magnesium salt developed to increase magnesium concentrations in the brain. It is marketed for cognitive support and is sold in capsule forms, sometimes combined with other nutrients such as phosphatidylserine and vitamins.

Boron is a trace element found in foods and soils that has been studied for effects on bone and joint symptoms and on menstrual pain. Human randomized trials report possible symptomatic benefits for osteoarthritis and primary dysmenorrhoea but have generally failed to confirm effects on testosterone or on acute coagulation measures.

Copper is an essential trace mineral and a cofactor for enzymes involved in redox reactions, iron metabolism and connective tissue formation. Clinical trials of oral copper supplementation in generally healthy adults have mostly failed to show clear benefits on blood lipids or LDL oxidisability at the doses studied.

Iodine is an essential trace mineral required for thyroid hormone synthesis. Oral iodine supplementation is used to prevent iodine deficiency disorders, reduce goitre prevalence and meet increased needs in pregnancy and lactation.

Ferrous bisglycinate is an iron amino‑acid chelate used orally to prevent or treat iron deficiency. Compared with standard iron salts it is reported in trials to have similar or improved effects on haemoglobin and ferritin at lower elemental iron doses and to be associated with fewer gastrointestinal adverse events in some populations.

Potassium bicarbonate is an alkaline potassium salt used to neutralise dietary acid load and as a source of potassium. In trials it has been tested orally for effects on acid-base balance, urinary nitrogen excretion and associations with blood pressure.

Oral orthosilicic acid (often stabilised with choline or vanillin) has been trialled as a dietary silicon source to support markers of bone and connective tissue health. Human trials report effects on biochemical markers of bone collagen and some measures of bone or peri‑implant tissue stability, but clinical benefits on bone mineral density are not established.

Vanadium is a transition metal sometimes provided as vanadyl sulfate in oral supplements and investigated for effects on insulin signalling. Human trials are limited and show inconsistent metabolic effects and evidence of biological accumulation.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in numerous enzymatic and structural roles. Clinical trials and meta-analyses report benefits of oral zinc for paediatric diarrhoea, acne, dysmenorrhea pain and some metabolic markers in prediabetes.
