A trace mineral present in soil and taken up by plants, found in foods such as fruits, nuts, leafy vegetables, and legumes.

Why it’s used

Taken to support bone and joint health, and sometimes marketed for hormone balance.

What the evidence says

Human evidence is limited. Small trials have looked at effects on bone turnover markers and inflammation, but results are inconsistent and there is no major regulatory fact sheet establishing a settled effect at supplement doses.
