Vital Health's Super Mineral Supreme ingredients are:

Vitamin D
This "sunlight" vitamin is naturally produced by the body when our skin is exposed to the sun. Vitamin D plays a key role in the optimal absorption of calcium and phosphorus and strengthening the immune system. Vitamin D is also essential for building strong bones and teeth.

Calcium
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and is the building block of bones and teeth. Calcium is also required for many hormones and enzymes in the body, thus making it an overall essential nutrient. Unfortunately, most adults only get half of their daily requirement of calcium from food and would benefit from taking supplements.

Iodine
Iodine is a potent trace mineral concentrated primarily in the thyroid gland, where it helps the thyroid to function properly. It is so important that in the 1920s, it was added to table salt because iodine deficiency was widespread.

Magnesium
There are a lot of health benefits of magnesium - like calcium, it is involved in bone building. It also plays a role in blood clotting, preventing heart disease and diabetes, controlling high blood pressure, and more.

Most people do not get enough magnesium through their diet because processed foods are stripped of this mineral.

Zinc
Zinc is a trace element that is essential to every cell in our body. Literally hundreds of chemical and metabolic processes that go on every day inside our cells require zinc.

Some health benefits of zinc include boosting the immune system (it helps fight cold and flu viruses!), helping sores and wounds heal, reducing acne, nourishing hair, and improving vision.

A surprising number of adults actually do not get enough zinc through their diet - this is also caused by the large amount of processed food they eat.

Selenium
Selenium is a trace mineral that is important for the proper functions of the kidneys, liver, spleen, pancreas, and male testes. In addition to its function as an antioxidant, this trace mineral is important for the immune system's ability to fight off infections.

Copper
Copper is the third most abundant trace mineral in our body - it is an essential part of many enzymes and proteins, including those involved in forming collagen and bone density, fighting inflammation, maintaining skin and hair color.

Like many other trace minerals, most adults in the United States do not get enough copper through their diet.

Manganese
The trace mineral manganese is involved in bone metabolism, cartilage formation, and brain functions. The lack of manganese has been liked to reduced libido in both men and women.

Chromium
This popular trace mineral may help control diabetes and high blood sugar (indeed, chromium was discovered as part of a "glucose tolerance factor" molecule by scientists), promote weight loss, and help lower cholesterol level.

Molybdenum
Molybdenum is an essential cofactor for enzymes that catalyzes the breakdown of nucleotides (precursor to DNA and RNA genetic material) into antioxidants in the blood, builds proteins from amino acids, and metabolizes drugs and toxins.

Potassium
An indispensable electrolyte, potassium is important for overall health and helps maintain normal blood pressure, muscle contraction, as well as kidney, liver, and nerve functions.

Betaine
Betaine is an important nutrient for our cardiovascular health. Studies have shown that betaine can help reduce potentially toxic levels of homocysteine, which is harmful to blood vessels.

Glutamic Acid
This amino acid is used by the body to build proteins and as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.

Boron
Boron, a relative new comer to nutritional supplements, can enhance the body's utilization of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D. It also helps brain functions, as well as decreases menstrual and arthritic pain.
