evidence for multi-mineral blend

Our honest take

A multi-mineral capsule using chelated (amino acid-bound) forms, which are well absorbed and gentle on the stomach. A mineral blend can help if your diet is restricted, but most people who eat varied food do not need one. We could not verify the amounts per capsule, so check the label against the NRVs and make sure you are not doubling up with a multivitamin.

You eat a restricted diet and want several minerals in one capsule
You prefer chelated mineral forms
You already take a multivitamin and mineral
You take thyroxine, some antibiotics or bisphosphonates without checking timing with your pharmacist
You are pregnant or have a medical condition, without speaking to your GP

The science

Multi-mineral blend· evidence: Limited

Multi-mineral and trace-mineral products combine several minerals such as zinc, copper, selenium, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, iodine, magnesium and calcium in one capsule. Each mineral has its own role, and the authorised claims depend on how much of each is in a daily dose.

People with a restricted diet, such as some vegans or people eating very little, may fall short of one or two minerals. For most people who eat a varied diet, a blanket mineral supplement adds little, and doubling up with a multivitamin can push some minerals above safe levels.

Checking the amount of each mineral against the NRV is more useful than the number of minerals on the label.

Authorised health claim
Claims depend on each mineral in the product and apply only where a daily dose gives at least 15% of that mineral's NRV. See the individual mineral profiles (for example zinc, selenium, magnesium) for the exact authorised wording.

Typical dose: Varies by product. Good blends give roughly 50 to 100% of the NRV for trace minerals rather than mega-doses.

Safety: Add up minerals from all your supplements: the NHS advises no more than 25 mg zinc, 1 mg copper, 350 micrograms selenium, 4 mg manganese and 400 mg magnesium a day from supplements. Keep away from children. Minerals can reduce absorption of some antibiotics and thyroid medicines.
