Ingredient Spotlight: Trace Minerals

This week, let’s take a deep dive into trace minerals and how they impact your overall health. As always, we’ll also tell you which Kyäni favourite delivers these important nutrients and why it matters.

What Are Trace Minerals?

Trace minerals are compounds that the body only needs in small amounts but are essential to proper development and function. A lack of these important minerals can lead to a variety of concerns, as can an overabundance of them.

Essential Trace Minerals

There are nine primary trace minerals that are deemed essential for overall health, each with its own benefits:

• Iron – Used by the body to make hemoglobin and myoglobin to carry oxygen throughout the body and to the muscles, respectively.
• Manganese ­– Supports bone and tissue health and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
• Molybdenum – Helps the body break down amino acids and toxins.
• Copper ­– Enables the body to form red blood cells, and supports nerve, heart, and immune health.
• Iodine – Promotes healthy thyroid and brain function.
• Zinc – Supports a healthy inflammatory response and immune health.
• Cobalt – Enables the body to make red blood cells.
• Fluoride – Promotes dental health.
• Selenium – Antioxidant-rich support for heart, cell, cognitive, and immune health.

Where to Get Trace Minerals

Trace minerals are found in many foods, including whole grains, many fruits, and vegetables, nuts, dairy products, as well as meat and seafood. They can also be incorporated into your diet using supplements. As with all nutrients, it’s important to ensure the supplement not only has the right types of ingredients, but also the right amount.
