A comprehensive multi-mineral formula without copper and iron. <br><br> Who should be taking multiple minerals? <br><br> Individuals at high risk for mineral deficiencies include the elderly due to deteriorating digestion, children and teenagers because of poor diet, individuals with eating disorders, and anyone suffering from a chronic disease. Taking certain prescription medications can also result in a mineral deficiency. Because the mineral content in fruits and vegetables depends on the soil the crop is grown in, even a healthy individual who maintains a good diet can be at risk for a mineral deficiency because of mineral-depleted soil. <br><br> Since 1984, Thorne has set the standard for the exceptional formulation and quality manufacturing of nutritional supplements.
