Ocean Minerals
Crystal Star Ocean Minerals is a supplement designed to provide various trace minerals. Each 2-capsule serving includes 0.12mg of Iodine, 40mg of Chloride, and 50mg of Potassium, along with a 1.2g proprietary herbal blend. Research suggests that the dosages for Iodine, Chloride, and Potassium in this product may be underdosed compared to clinically studied amounts for certain benefits. The product has 4 total ingredients with 100% label transparency for the individual minerals, but the herbal blend dosage is undisclosed. It received an N+ Score of 31, earning an 'F' grade, indicating a poor overall quality assessment by Nutrienting.com. This product may appeal to those seeking a broad spectrum of minerals, but the underdosed key ingredients and low N+ Score are significant factors to consider.
