Single mineral or multi?
A multi-mineral is the sensible default if you are not sure what you are short of. Single minerals make sense when you know - most often magnesium, or iron following a blood test. Minerals compete with each other for absorption, which is one argument for a balanced formula over stacking several singles.
Chelated, citrate or oxide?
These describe what the mineral is bound to, which affects how much elemental mineral a capsule carries and how well people tolerate it. Oxide forms are cheap and carry a high percentage by weight; chelated forms such as bisglycinate are often chosen by people who have found other forms difficult. Compare the elemental amount and the percentage NRV, not the compound weight.
A note on iron
Iron is the one mineral we would suggest not taking speculatively. Too much is harmful, and low iron is easily confirmed by your GP with a blood test. Get tested first.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
