Multimineral
Also known as: mineral complex
A multimineral combines several minerals, typically magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, selenium, copper, manganese, chromium and iodine. It works as a safety net for a limited diet, but quality and doses vary widely, so check the label.
What it is used for
- Filling gaps in a poor diet – moderate evidence
- Preventing deficiency on a plant-based diet – moderate evidence
- Healthy people with a varied diet – weak evidence
Forms and how they differ
complex with chelates (bisglycinates, citrates)
better absorption and tolerance
complex with oxides and carbonates
cheaper, poorer absorption
full spectrum / trace minerals
individual amounts are often low – check the label
Pairs well with
Works well with vitamin D and K2.
Do not combine / separate
Keep at least 4 hours from thyroid medicine, antibiotics and bisphosphonates. Do not stack with other supplements containing the same minerals without checking the total dose.
Watch out for
In pregnancy choose a product made for pregnancy. If you have kidney or liver disease, haemochromatosis or take medicines, consult your doctor.
Safety
Add up all sources: EFSA's upper level is 25 mg/day for zinc and 250 mg/day for supplemental magnesium. Do not exceed the label dose.
Practical tip
Look for actual amounts and % of reference intake on the label – not just a long list of minerals.
