Thorne Research Pic-Mins 90c

A unique trace mineral complex designed for superior\nabsorption*

-provides seven essential trace minerals

-Thorne's best absorbed trace mineral formula*

-cofactors for numerous biochemical enzymatic reactions*

-contains several picolinate minerals exclusive to Thorne\nResearch

In 1984, Thorne was the first dietary supplement\nmanufacturer to introduce zinc picolinate, and Thorne is still the exclusive\nmanufacturer of the trace mineral picolinates – iron, copper, selenium,\nmolybdenum, boron, and vanadium. Picolinic acid is a natural organic acid\nproduced in the body by conversion of the amino acid tryptophan. Found in high\nconcentrations in breast milk, picolinic acid helps in mineral absorption by\ninfants. Studies indicate that mineral picolinates provide superior absorption,\neven when compared to other "well-absorbed" mineral chelates.*\nPic-Mins combines the important trace minerals zinc, selenium, manganese,\nmolybdenum, boron, and vanadium, with UltraChrome, Thorne's patented and highly\nbioavailable chromium complex.*

Research on trace minerals has demonstrated their importance\nin human health. Trace minerals are cofactors for most enzymes in the body and\nare essential for proper hormone and neurotransmitter function.* Deficiencies\nof specific trace minerals can have an adverse impact on cardiovascular health,\nbone health, fertility, cognitive health, and immunity.* Even mild deficiencies\nin trace minerals can result in poor growth and development.* Many dietary\ntrace minerals are found in fruits and vegetables; however, mineral depletion\nof the soil has rendered much of the produce we buy deficient in these\nessential nutrients. Because of these circumstances, supplementation may be\nindicated.
