Pic-Mins 90c Thorne Research

A unique trace mineral complex designed for superiornabsorption*

-provides seven essential trace minerals

-Thorne’s best absorbed trace mineral formula*

-cofactors for numerous biochemical enzymatic reactions*

-contains several picolinate minerals exclusive to ThornenResearch

In 1984, Thorne was the first dietary supplementnmanufacturer to introduce zinc picolinate, and Thorne is still the exclusivenmanufacturer of the trace mineral picolinates – iron, copper, selenium,nmolybdenum, boron, and vanadium. Picolinic acid is a natural organic acidnproduced in the body by conversion of the amino acid tryptophan. Found in highnconcentrations in breast milk, picolinic acid helps in mineral absorption byninfants. 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 highlynbioavailable chromium complex.*

Research on trace minerals has demonstrated their importancenin human health. Trace minerals are cofactors for most enzymes in the body andnare essential for proper hormone and neurotransmitter function.* Deficienciesnof specific trace minerals can have an adverse impact on cardiovascular health,nbone health, fertility, cognitive health, and immunity.* Even mild deficienciesnin trace minerals can result in poor growth and development.* Many dietaryntrace minerals are found in fruits and vegetables; however, mineral depletionnof the soil has rendered much of the produce we buy deficient in thesenessential nutrients. Because of these circumstances, supplementation may benindicated.
