Roll Call

Nickel

Mineral

Hasn’t appeared in a scanned product yet.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.

A trace metallic element, naturally present in soil, water, and many foods, occasionally included in supplement formulations in trace amounts.

Why it’s used

Not commonly taken deliberately for a specific effect; its presence on a label usually reflects trace mineral content rather than an intended active ingredient.

What the evidence says

Nickel's biological role in humans, if any, is not well established, and it is not classified as an essential nutrient with a defined dietary requirement. Available research is limited and does not support a specific supplement-use claim.
