Buy Trace Elements – Zinc, Selenium, Iron & More

Trace elements are inorganic minerals that the body contains only in very small amounts – in contrast to bulk elements such as calcium or magnesium. They include, among others, zinc, selenium, iron, iodine, chromium, copper and manganese. In this category, you'll find trace element supplements from Scheunengut – with a defined content, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

Trace elements occur naturally in soils, water and foods. For food supplementation, they are mostly used as defined mineral compounds, for example as bisglycinate, citrate, gluconate or selenomethionine. These compounds determine the chemical form in which the respective element is present.

Standardisation & Format

What matters is the statement of the element content per serving in micrograms or milligrams as well as the compound used. Trace elements are available as a capsule, tablet, powder or drops – individually or as a combination. They are often brought together with other minerals or vitamins.

Transparently declared element content and compound used

Häufige Fragen zu Trace Elements

What are trace elements good for?

Trace elements are minerals that the body needs only in the smallest amounts, but which are nonetheless essential. Each performs its own tasks: zinc contributes to normal function of the immune system, iron to normal oxygen transport, selenium helps protect cells from oxidative stress, and iodine supports normal thyroid function. Together, they cover key metabolic functions.

What trace elements are there?

Trace elements include zinc, selenium, iron, iodine, chromium, copper and manganese, among others. Unlike macrominerals such as calcium or magnesium, they occur in the body only in very low concentrations. For food supplements, they are used as defined compounds, such as bisglycinate, citrate, gluconate or selenomethionine.

Supplement individually or as a complex?

Both approaches make sense: a complex covers several trace elements in one product, while individual supplements let you target a specific need. In both cases, a clear statement of the element content per serving is essential. With us, you'll find both options – lab-tested, vegan and transparently declared.

How do I recognise high-quality trace element supplements?

Look for well-available compounds, a transparent statement of the elemental content per serving and tested purity. Our trace element products are made in Germany, lab-tested and vegan, without unnecessary additives. That way, you know exactly which element is included, in what form and in what amount.
