15mg Zinc Glycinate from Albion® 6 Essential Trace Bisglycinate Minerals, Manganese, Boron, Chromium, Selenium, Molybdenum Supplement, 90 Plant-Based Vegan Capsules

This is a superb product on every count. It took me a very long time to find a formula like the one present in this supplement, as I was needing only very specific minerals in very specific doses to complement a particular regimen I am pursuing (a thiamine therapy protocol that depends, for its effectiveness, on just the right supportive minerals). So when I happened on this product, I ordered it enthusiastically and have continued to rely on now for many months via steady re-orders. A few days ago, I penned a review for an entirely different supplement (not minerals, not by the maker of this product) that was quite scathing, because THAT product had arrived to me in a package utterly lacking in a standard safety seal, and either through my own error or a technical error at Amazon, that scathing review got posted for THIS wonderful product instead, alas. I apologize profusely for not catching the error sooner, and Iḿ hoping that by now, my deletion of the erroneously posted review of an entirely unrelated product has gone through. If you need an original and well-conceived mineral supplement, DO definitely by THIS lovely item.

I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism since 2016, and have been taking levothyroxine for it. While my numbers have partially improved, my quality of life has been nothing like it was pre-diagnosis. My hair (despite being virgin hair, never heat-treated, never chemically altered, totally babied, like I sleep on a silk pillowcase EVERY NIGHT) has been brittle, fragile, and thin around the edges. My skin is sallow and perpetually clogged, yet it’s chronically dehydrated. Getting out of bed is depressing, and I’m so tired I’ve gotten used to starting my days on a terrible note just by not being able to rest more. Might I mention I’m in my 20’s?So I’ve been researching for years about how to naturally heal my thyroid. This is one component of my thyroid-healing protocol. And I know it’s working. How? Because for the first time in years my temperature is up-consistently. This is huge. My hands have previously been referred to as “Death’s Icy Grip Coming To Collect Souls To Devour.” Now my extremities are almost always quite balanced with the rest of my body and I’m reading normal temps when I take my basal body temperature in the mornings. We’re talking 98.6. For the first time in YEARS.This has only been with the addition of this supplement. I do take others, which I’ll list for other hypo-inflicted people to research at their own discretion, but the temperature increase has only happened in the last few weeks of taking this. All I’ve needed is literally one capsule a day.I’m excited because I can anticipate healing. I’m finally being able to envision growing healthy hair back fully, experiencing smooth skin and feeling alive.For the curious, I also take one drop of Liquid Kelp (a natural and safer source of supplemented iodine), one tablet of N-Acetyl Cysteine and one of Alpha Lipoic Acid (as they are precursors to the body’s master antioxidant Glutathione, which has been shown to be present in much lower levels in those with hypothyroidism), and I use a transdermal magnesium oil several times a week. I’ve also just ordered a very well-reviewed brand’s desiccated thyroid with liver to try rotating into my supplement routine. I’m feeling pretty confident these will work synergistically to restore my body!Thanks for reading, and good health to us all!

I like how all of the minerals in here are from albion. Great dosages as well and only need to take 1 pill so no complaints from me.

It takes a few days to get this in your system. I don't have anything to base the performance of this product on other than how I feel. A few years ago I found product labeled "Drinkables" that sold trace minerals in a liquid form. Up until that time if I felt really good more that 2 days in a row it was rare. After using those trace minerals I perked up so to speak. For two years on my annual physical my hemoglobin increased over a point. After the third year it came down a point or back to where it was before I started using Drinkables. Either they changed the formula or I changed. I am hoping to get the same effect of more energy and "feeling better" from these Trace Minerals. Many of you probably garden or farm, you know full well that plants need the trace elements and micro-nutrient; cows, hog, goats, etc.. are usually supplemented with minerals. Our human diet sometimes goes lacking and we need those trace minerals and nutrients that are not found in much of our diet. I will update this review as I keep taking this supplement. This little review is my opinion only.

I like the fact that you get the Zinc (Bisgylcinate Chelate) along with manganase, boron, chromium, selenium and molybdenum in the mix. I'm no vitamin and suppliment expert but I am super dilligent in researching what will work best for me. This personally fits the bill. I've also ordered other suppliments from Smarter Vitamins and I'm very happy with their products, especially the Natural Vitamin C. Their prices are really good and there is one further thing about this company that's absolutely wonderful in this day and age. With my orders I have received a free coupon to go to their website and pick a suppliment from their list of available offerings and choose one absolutely free of charge. No shipping charges either. The free items arrive quickly too. It's a delight to find a company that values their customers and still believes in excellent customer service. I suggest checking out their website.
