Ingredients explained
Zinc (as zinc bisglycinate chelate)
Zinc acts as a cofactor for numerous enzymes involved in antioxidant defences, DNA synthesis and immune cell function.
Caution: High zinc intake may interfere with copper balance; take as directed and avoid combining with high-dose single-mineral zinc from other products.
Selenium (from selenium yeast)
Selenium is incorporated into selenoproteins such as glutathione peroxidases that help manage oxidative stress and support thyroid hormone metabolism.
Caution: High intakes over time may cause unwanted effects like brittle nails; keep to the suggested use and avoid multiple selenium-containing products.
Copper (chelated)
Copper supports enzymes involved in energy production, connective tissue formation and antioxidant activity via superoxide dismutase.
Caution: Excess copper may cause stomach upset and imbalance with zinc; avoid additional high-dose copper supplements unless advised.
Chromium (as chromium nicotinate glycinate chelate)
Chromium supports insulin-receptor signalling, which may aid normal glucose handling in the body.
Caution: High doses may interact with blood sugar management; monitor how you feel and take with food if sensitive.
Molybdenum (as molybdenum glycinate chelate)
Molybdenum acts as a cofactor for enzymes that process sulphur-containing compounds and support normal detoxification pathways.
Caution: Very high intake may cause discomfort such as headache; avoid combining with other high-dose molybdenum products.
How they work together
Zinc, copper, selenium and manganese contribute to antioxidant enzyme systems that help manage oxidative stress through different enzymatic pathways. Chromium focuses on glucose handling, while molybdenum and boron support enzyme activity and mineral metabolism, rounding out trace mineral coverage.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a physician before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medicine, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People with thyroid concerns or on thyroid medication may need caution due to zinc and selenium content. Those with kidney issues should be cautious with minerals such as chromium and molybdenum. Individuals with copper-sensitive conditions or high iron stores may wish to discuss copper content with a clinician. If you have a yeast sensitivity, note that selenium yeast is included. If you are taking medications, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is broken.

Product information
- Food 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 ensure 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.
