I would like to try a trace mineral supplement to see if it will help my hair loss and just general "blah" feeling.
I have had my thyroid checked a ton, and it is always normal, and yes, they have run *all* the tests.

I am leaning towards Young Living's Mineral Essence just because it is ionic minerals, and I heard ionic minerals are better assimilated, but I can't remember where I heard that, so I don't know if that is really the case or if that is just marketing.
Do any of you have one that you recommend? YL's is about 22 dollars for three weeks worth, so I'd love to go cheaper if possible.

Trace Minerals (brand) has one that is around $16 for a month's supply, and it has D3, which I need, too, but all the reviews are really talking about the vitD, not so much the minerals part.

I don't really know which minerals I really need, but I just assume get them all.

Do any of you take a trace mineral supplement? I don't eat enough salt to just use Redmond Salt or something. Do you find it helpful and did you notice a difference in your health? Which ones do you like, or which have you taken that did nothing for you?
