Category portfolio
Mineral ingredients are bought on declared elemental content, chemical form and regulatory status — not on a botanical story. Source selenium, magnesium, zinc, copper, vanadium and molybdenum grades with the specification, impurity and destination-market review handled up front.
PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW
Every grade below is available in the chemical form and mineral concentration indicated. Elemental content is the commercial anchor — confirm assay basis, carrier and particle size on the selected lot before quotation.

| Vanadium Trace mineral |
Vanadium Citrate | 16% Vanadium | Citrate-bound vanadium for trace-fortification concepts |
| Bis-glycinato oxo vanadium BGOV |
20% Vanadium | Oxovanadium bis-glycinate chelate with higher declared vanadium loading | |
| Molybdenum Trace mineral |
Molybdenum Methionine | 35% Molybdenum | Methionine-bound molybdenum for high-concentration trace dosing |
Specifications shown are the standard routes carried in this portfolio. Other assay levels, dilutions and custom carriers can be reviewed against your brief. All grades are subject to lot-specific COA confirmation and destination-market regulatory review before claim use.
WHY THE FORM MATTERS
Copper at 3% in a lysine chelate and copper at 20% in an inorganic salt are different products with different stability, taste and dose-per-serve economics. Chemical form drives all three.
ORGANIC VS INORGANIC
Selenomethionine and methylselenocysteine are retained through the body’s selenium pool, while inorganic selenite is excreted faster. Route choice changes both the claim position and the required label statement.
CHELATION
Zinc monomethionine, copper lysinate and molybdenum methionine declare both metal and ligand content. Confirm the chelate ratio rather than the total assay — a 20% zinc grade can be bound or simply mixed with methionine.
DILUTED GRADES
Diluted carrier grades at 5000 mcg/g exist so trace minerals can be dosed accurately in bulk premixes and beverage systems. Specify the carrier and the mixing tolerance before the blend is locked.
REVIEW POINTS
Assay basis and method, elemental impurity profile (ICP), residual solvents where applicable, particle size, bulk density, water activity and stability data for the intended format.
MULTI-MINERAL SYSTEMS
Most mineral products ship as part of a wider system — a daily multi, a women’s or men’s matrix, an electrolyte blend, or a single-mineral premix for a gummy or stick pack. We can build these around your format and market.
