Complete Guide to Essential Minerals for Optimal Wellness
Discover Vykee's premium mineral supplements, meticulously formulated to address common deficiencies and support your body's critical functions. Our comprehensive collection features both major minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium) and trace minerals (zinc, selenium, iron) in highly bioavailable forms that maximize absorption and effectiveness.
Essential Minerals in Our Collection:
Magnesium (200-500mg): Available in glycinate, citrate, and malate forms for enhanced absorption. Supports muscle function, sleep quality, energy production, and nervous system health. Critical for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body.
Calcium (500-1200mg): Featuring calcium citrate and hydroxyapatite forms for superior bioavailability. Essential for bone density, muscle contractions, nerve signaling, and cardiovascular function. Our formulations include cofactors like vitamin D3 and K2 for optimal utilization.
Zinc (15-50mg): Offered as zinc picolinate, gluconate, and immune-supporting zinc lozenges. Vital for immune function, tissue repair, hormone production, and protein synthesis. Particularly important during seasonal challenges.
Iron (15-45mg): Available in gentle, non-constipating forms like iron bisglycinate. Crucial for oxygen transport, energy production, and cognitive function. Essential for menstruating women, athletes, and plant-based eaters.
Selenium (100-200mcg): A powerful antioxidant mineral supporting thyroid function, reproductive health, and cellular protection. Our selenium is sourced from high-quality selenomethionine.
Multi-mineral Complexes: Balanced formulations containing optimal ratios of essential minerals with synergistic cofactors for maximum benefit and utilization.
Understanding Mineral Balance and Interactions
Minerals work in concert within the body, making proper balance crucial:
- Calcium and Magnesium: Ideally maintained at a 2:1 or 1:1 ratio for proper nerve and muscle function
- Zinc and Copper: Require balanced supplementation as they compete for absorption
- Sodium and Potassium: Essential electrolytes that regulate fluid balance and heart function
- Iron and Vitamin C: Combined for enhanced iron absorption and utilization
Who Benefits Most from Mineral Supplementation?
- Athletes experiencing electrolyte depletion and increased mineral demands
- Individuals with digestive conditions affecting nutrient absorption
- Those following restricted diets, including plant-based and keto
- People with specific health concerns affecting mineral status
- Adults over 50 experiencing natural changes in absorption efficiency
- Anyone experiencing symptoms of common mineral deficiencies
Optimizing Your Mineral Supplementation
For maximum effectiveness, follow these evidence-based guidelines:
- Take calcium and magnesium supplements at different times from iron for optimal absorption
- Consider mineral glycinates or chelated forms for sensitive digestive systems
- Start with lower doses and gradually increase to minimize digestive adjustment
- Pair minerals with their cofactors (vitamin D with calcium, vitamin C with iron)
- Stay properly hydrated to support mineral transport and utilization
