What is Trace Minerals and who is it for?
This is a targeted trace mineral formula for people who need additional trace elements without adding more calcium, magnesium, or other macrominerals to their regimen. Pure Encapsulations uses chelated forms—minerals bound to amino acids—which are more readily absorbed than standard mineral salts. The small capsule size makes daily use straightforward.
You might consider this if you’re already supplementing macrominerals separately and want to address trace element needs specifically, or if you’re working with a practitioner on a protocol where adding macrominerals would create imbalance. It’s also relevant if you have dietary patterns that might create gaps in trace mineral intake—strict elimination diets, limited food variety, or periods where soil mineral depletion affects food nutrient density.
Fairfield Nutrition Thoughts
Trace minerals often get overlooked in supplement protocols because people focus on the big players—magnesium, calcium, zinc. But these smaller minerals serve as enzyme cofactors throughout the body, and deficiencies can create bottlenecks in everything from energy metabolism to neurotransmitter synthesis. What makes this formula useful is that it provides trace elements without macrominerals, so you’re not inadvertently creating imbalances if you’re already supplementing those separately.
The chelated forms matter here. Chelation, binding minerals to amino acids, generally enhances absorption compared to standard mineral salts. Pure Encapsulations has a solid track record with mineral formulations, and the small capsule format addresses a common complaint with mineral supplements. This sits well as foundational support, particularly for people on restricted diets or in life stages where nutrient density becomes more critical.
Why This Formulation / How It Works
Most comprehensive mineral formulas include macrominerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium) alongside trace elements. That works well for general supplementation, but creates problems if you’re already supplementing those individually or if your practitioner wants precise control over mineral ratios. This formula isolates trace minerals, allowing targeted supplementation without disrupting existing protocols. The chelated forms use amino acid carriers, which your intestinal cells recognize and transport more efficiently than inorganic mineral salts.
Pure Encapsulations manufactures without unnecessary additives—no magnesium stearate, coatings, or common allergens. The small capsule size reflects concentrated chelated minerals rather than bulky mineral salts. For people managing multiple supplements daily, this practical consideration matters.
Role as Enzyme Cofactors
Trace minerals function as cofactors for numerous enzyme systems throughout the body. These enzymes catalyze reactions in cellular energy pathways, antioxidant defense systems, and biosynthetic processes. Without adequate trace mineral availability, enzyme function becomes rate-limited—the enzyme is present but cannot perform its catalytic role efficiently.
Involvement in Cellular Metabolism
Specific trace minerals participate in the synthesis of hormones, neurotransmitters, and DNA. They’re incorporated into enzyme active sites where they facilitate electron transfer, stabilize molecular structures, or participate directly in chemical reactions. These processes occur continuously in all cells, creating ongoing demand for trace mineral availability.
When to Consider This
This trace mineral formula makes sense if you’re:
- Already supplementing macrominerals separately and want to address trace element needs without creating imbalances
- Following restricted dietary patterns (elimination diets, vegan/vegetarian approaches) where trace mineral intake might be limited
- Working with a practitioner on protocols requiring precise mineral ratios
⚠️ Not suitable for: Children under 18 years
How to Use
Take 1 capsule, 1-2 times daily with meals. Starting with once daily allows you to assess how your body responds before increasing to twice daily if needed. Taking with meals supports absorption of the chelated minerals.
Each bottle contains 60 capsules, providing 30-60 days of supplementation depending on your dosage.

Common Questions
How is this different from a standard multivitamin-mineral?
This contains only trace minerals, not macrominerals like calcium and magnesium, and no vitamins. That targeted approach prevents interference with existing supplement protocols and allows precise mineral balancing.
What does “chelated” mean and why does it matter?
Chelation binds minerals to amino acids, creating a form your intestinal cells recognize and transport more efficiently than standard mineral salts. This generally translates to better absorption.
Can I take this with my other supplements?
Yes, that’s actually the point of this formula—it’s designed to complement existing supplementation without adding macrominerals that might create imbalances. Taking with meals supports absorption.

Brand
Pure Encapsulations
Pure Encapsulations Supplements Australia
Pure Encapsulations is a US-based supplement manufacturer with a long track record of use in clinical and integrative medicine practice. Their range spans single nutrients, omega-3s, trace minerals, and combination formulas - broad enough to cover most common supplementation needs from a single brand.
What distinguishes them is their hypoallergenic formulation standard: every product is made without artificial colours, coatings, sweeteners, or unnecessary fillers, using the minimum excipients required for stability. This approach suits people with food sensitivities, those following elimination protocols, or anyone who wants to be confident that a supplement response - or the absence of one - is attributable to the active ingredient rather than something incidental in the capsule.
The range at Fairfield divides into foundational daily-use products and more targeted formulas designed for specific needs.
The Pure Encapsulations range at Fairfield Nutrition
[product_icons icon="Foundational"]
These are daily-use products covering core nutritional needs - suitable as a nutritional base for most adults or as part of a broader supplement protocol.
| Product | Best For | Key Ingredient(s) |
|---|---|---|
| O.N.E. Multivitamin | Comprehensive daily nutritional cover in a single capsule | Vitamins A, B-complex (including activated B vitamins in forms the body can use directly), C, D3, E; chelated minerals |
| O.N.E. Omega | High-strength daily omega-3 in a single softgel | 1,000 mg EPA/DHA per softgel from molecularly distilled fish oil |
| Vitamin D3 1000 IU | Everyday vitamin D maintenance; also available as a vegan liquid for those avoiding animal-derived capsules | Cholecalciferol 1,000 IU |
| UltraZin Zinc 30 mg | Immune function, skin health, and periods of increased zinc demand | Ionised zinc complex, 30 mg elemental zinc per capsule |
| Trace Minerals | Filling trace mineral gaps without adding macrominerals already covered elsewhere in a protocol | Chelated trace mineral blend including iodine, selenium, chromium, and molybdenum |
[product_icons icon="Targeted"]
Targeted formulas address more specific needs and are typically used alongside a foundational base or as a focused addition when a particular issue is being addressed.
| Product | Best For | Key Ingredient(s) |
|---|---|---|
| DAO Enzyme for Histamine | Supporting histamine breakdown from food - taken just before high-histamine meals | Diamine oxidase (DAO) - the enzyme that clears histamine in the gut before absorption - standardised to 26,000 HDU per serving |
| Hist Reset | Broader histamine support throughout the day - complements DAO enzyme use | Quercetin, vitamin C, stinging nettle extract, bromelain |
| GI Integrity | Supporting the gut lining when intestinal integrity is a concern | L-glutamine, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, gamma oryzanol, aloe vera extract |
| Pure Sleep | Sleep onset and quality support using adaptogenic and calming botanicals | KSM-66 ashwagandha root extract, affron saffron extract, L-theanine |
| NAC 600 mg | Antioxidant and respiratory support; a direct building block for glutathione, the body's main internal antioxidant | N-acetylcysteine 600 mg |
For most people, the O.N.E. Multivitamin and O.N.E. Omega together form a practical daily base before adding anything targeted. If zinc is already in your multivitamin, check the dose before adding UltraZin - it delivers 30 mg, which is a higher therapeutic amount rather than a general top-up. Within the histamine products, DAO Enzyme and Hist Reset are not duplicates: DAO works at the point of eating to break down histamine in food before it is absorbed, while Hist Reset supports the body's broader histamine response throughout the day - both are sometimes used together when reactivity is more persistent.
Why shop Pure Encapsulations at Fairfield Nutrition
We don't stock everything - we stock what we'd use. Pure Encapsulations products are stocked at Fairfield because their hypoallergenic formulation standard is one of the few that has been consistently relied on in clinical practice for patients who react to excipients, dyes, or common fillers present in many other supplement brands - a population that is larger than most people assume.
Their range is also broad enough that a complete supplement protocol can be built from a single brand, which reduces the cumulative excipient exposure that comes from combining products from multiple manufacturers. For people who are sensitive, or who are working through a systematic protocol to understand what is and is not helping, that consistency simplifies the process considerably.
