Chemistry trumps everything.
This is my own limited example about what happened with my individual experience, so you be the final judge as you read this. Adding Trace Mineral Complex II to my supplement routine has steadily brought me out of an 8 year bout with a Major Depression, one which was almost fatal. Contrary to prevailing belief, research has taught me that true clinical Depression, like nearly all of "behavioral" health, is more consistently linked to the brain's chemistry than to any feature of one's character, attitude, spirituality, or mental fortitude. When it comes to neurochemical (aka: mental or "behavioral") health, chemistry trumps everything. A deficiency of certain trace minerals can be a huge contributor to neurochemical disorders, just like they can for many other physical ailments. Treating real, severe, clinical depression can be complicated and should be done in partnership with healthcare professionals. But while I firmly believe in taking medication as prescribed to keep a stable neurochemical foundation, it has been just a tired, gray, joyless existence, at best. Something was noticeably lacking. My remarkable, recent, rapid improvement has been too precisely correlated in time with the addition of Trace Mineral Complex II to be attributable to anything else. I've only been using Trace Mineral Complex II for two months, but my healthcare providers and everyone close to me have noted a marked change for the better in these most recent few weeks. I'm no longer dead dog tired all the time. I can think faster and more clearly. I can do much more creative problem-solving. I can better keep up with my job. I don't always feel defeated. I've quit desperately craving certain foods. I've been able to adjust my perspective on a number of issues that previously seemed untenable and impossible to change. I don't want to die. Little things like that. I know part of it is having a consistent source of selenium, a trace mineral which is known to help with depression, in addition to chelated zinc, which keeps me healthy in the germ-ridden world of healthcare. It's less expensive than buying selenium and chelated zinc separately. In addition, I have a steady source of other trace minerals, any deficiency of which is known to seriously affect human physiology, all the way from neurochemistry to overall metabolism; and it's all in one reasonably-sized capsule (instead of several). If you already have to take a lot of pills, or if you need a multi-supplement that is more cost-effective than buying all the ingredients separately, I highly recommend this Trace Mineral Complex II. Your body deserves it, including your brain.<br /><br />2017 Update -- Once more, I'm here to order, and I thought I'd add this update. I'm still enjoying life so much more than before this life-altering discovery. Having added methylfolate and methylcobalamin (see discussion in comments), I'm in such a better space than possibly ever before; crucially, the improvement all started right here with Seeking Health Trace Minerals Complex II. I scrupulously and conscientiously do not allow my supply of this absolutely foundational supplement to run low. Thanks again, Seeking Health!
