Thorne Research’s Pic-Mins® is a supplement that delivers picolinate chelates, in addition to an exclusive chromium product called UltraChrome. This is all in a single comprehensive trace mineral product.
Some of the powerful
ingredients in these vegetarian capsules include the following:
Zinc: Zinc plays an important role in many of the body’s processes, such as cell reproduction, hormonal balance, the proper absorption of vitamins, and the synthesis of
protein. Such processes are crucial for healthy hair growth. Selenium—Selenium is another highly-beneficial ingredient included in the formula. It has the ability to increase metallothionine levels, which serves to optimize zinc
metabolism and control internal levels of heavy metals.
Manganese: Manganese is a very beneficial mineral that contributes to healthy bone structure, the metabolism of bones, and the enhancement of critical enzymes for building bones.
Manganese acts similar to a coenzyme in assisting the metabolic process. In addition to these valuable functions, manganese is also an active participant in the processes of calcium absorption, the formation of connective tissues, proper
functioning of sex hormones, supporting the thyroid gland, and regulating the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats.
Chromium: Chromium has been shown to be beneficial in balancing blood sugar levels, balancing serum HDL levels, and
reducing serum triglyceride levels in insulin insensitive individuals. Since chromium is recognized as the key nutrient in charge of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), researchers have also come to believe that it both increases the
sensitivity of insulin receptors and enhances the transport of glucose between cells. Heightening insulin sensitivity is crucial to the enhancement of fat cell metabolism, as well as for burning triglycerides as fuel.
Boron: Boron is a trace
mineral that your body needs in tiny amounts. First recognized in 1910 as an essential element in plants, it was not until 1985 that clinical research identified boron as an essential nutrient for people. The benefits of boron
include support for healthy bones and proper brain functioning.

The label on the bottle you sent me has only five minerals, but your online description lists seven, copied below. I would not have ordered Pic-Mins if properly described.

Recommended by Defeat Autism Now! doctor Jaquelyn McCandless MD
By Sallie from Midlothian, Virginia on April 9, 2011
I use this product because an esteemed Defeat Autism Now! doctor Jaquelyn McCandless MD recommended it in her book "Children with Starving Brains" on page 146 as a "comprehensive trace mineral product." The product has the minerals in it that I want but not any ingredients present in some mineral products that I want to avoid. It is also dairy-free, wheat-free and free of other allergens that those with autism-spectrum diagnoses want to avoid.
Cons:
I'm a little concerned that aspartic acid might be used as a filler in this product since it is an excitotoxin per the book "Excitotoxins" by Russel Blaylock MD
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Good trace mineral mix
By Hing from Singapore on February 9, 2011
This is a great trace mineral mix which excludes iron and calcium which my PDDNOS son reacts badly to. We've been using this for 3 years and through a chelation program with good results. His RBC tests come back with a good balance of minerals despite chelating.
