Trace Minerals

Trace Minerals is an American mineral specialist that has been harvesting minerals from Utah's Great Salt Lake for more than 50 years. That lake is an inland sea with no outlet, so minerals washed off the land have collected there over thousands of years. The brand concentrates the lake water in its own solar evaporation ponds, a process it calls ConcenFlo, and removes about 99% of the sodium. What is left is ConcenTrace: a liquid complex of over 70 naturally occurring ionic minerals. Ionic simply means the minerals are already dissolved in their charged form, so nothing needs to be broken down first.

What the range covers

Almost every product here is built on the same ConcenTrace base, in different concentrations, which is why the range looks smaller than it is. If you mainly train and sweat, start with the electrolyte formulas.

• ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops: the full-spectrum original, unflavoured and undiluted.
• 40,000 Volts: a salty concentrate with magnesium, chloride, potassium, sodium and boron, made for training days.
• Mega-Mag: liquid magnesium chloride, for people who want magnesium as the main mineral rather than a blend.
• Single ionic minerals: boron, zinc and D3 with K2 drops, for one specific gap.

Magnesium is the mineral present in the largest amount in these liquids. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Potassium contributes to normal muscle function, and chloride contributes to normal digestion by helping the stomach produce acid. Those approved claims apply to the individual minerals, not to the blend as a whole. If you shop by nutrient instead of by brand, our mineral supplements by nutrient show every option we carry.

Why we carry Trace Minerals at BONO

We stock this brand for one main reason: the form. Liquid ionic minerals can be dosed drop by drop, so you can build up slowly, and they suit anyone who dislikes swallowing capsules. The minerals come from a single source, which keeps the composition predictable from batch to batch, and the brand issues a certificate of analysis per batch. That matters, because naturally sourced sea minerals also carry naturally occurring trace elements. Every product still passes our compliance team, and we test ourselves while independent labs spot-check batches. See how we select brands.

Who it suits

These liquids fit people who drink reverse osmosis or distilled water, which contains almost no minerals, and people who lose a lot through sweat. That includes sauna users and anyone in supplements for endurance sport, where fluid and mineral losses add up over hours.

Two honest points. The taste is genuinely strong and salty, so most people mix the drops into juice or a smoothie rather than plain water. And magnesium in higher amounts can loosen the stools, which is why the label advises splitting the daily serving across meals and lowering it if needed. Give a daily routine two to three weeks before you judge it, and keep it alongside a varied diet rather than instead of one. If you prefer tablets or capsules, another name in our brand overview will suit you better.
