Copper
Copper aids in the absorption of iron, the formation of red blood cells, and good bone formation and maintenance.

Our products include:
Copper Gluconate
Copper sulphate

Iron
Iron has a vital function in combining with protein and copper to make haemoglobin. Iron also prevents fatigue and promotes good skin tone.

Our products include:
Ferric Ammonium Citrate
Ferrous Fumarate
Ferrous Gluconate
Ferrous Lactate
Ferrous Sulphate

Magnesium
Magnesium plays a vital role in regulating the neuromuscular activity of the heart, converts blood sugar to energy and is necessary for calcium and vitamin C metabolism.

Our products include:
Magnesium Ascorbate
Magnesium Chloride
Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium Gluconate
Magnesium Lactate
Magnesium Phosphate

Manganese
Manganese is important in the breakdown of amino acids and the production of energy. It activates various enzymes for proper digestion and utilization of foods. Manganese also helps nourish the nerves and brain and is necessary for normal skeletal development.

Our products include:
Manganese Ascorbate
Manganese Citrate
Manganese Gluconate
Manganese Lactate
Manganese Sulphate

Potassium
Potassium works with sodium to normalise heart rhythms and to regulate the body's waste balance. It also preserves proper alkalinity of body fluids and assists in reducing high blood pressure.

Our products include:
Potassium Ascorbate
Potassium Bicarbonate
Potassium Citrate
Potassium Hydroxide
Potassium Phosphate
Potassium Sulphate

Sodium
Sodium is required for nerve and muscle functioning.

Our products include:
Sodium Citrate
Sodium Chloride
Sodium Hydroxide

Zinc
Zinc is an important antioxidant nutrient. It is necessary for protein synthesis, wound healing, blood stability, normal tissue function, and aids in the digestion and metabolism of phosphorus. Zinc also governs the contractility of muscles and maintains the body's alkaline balance.

Our products include:
Zinc Oxide
Zinc Sulphate

Other Minerals include:
Ammonium Sulphate
Urea
