The micro-minerals your protocol depends on — and why they matter more than you think.

When most people think of supplements, they picture flashy adaptogens, fat burners, or gut pills. But some of the most powerful changes in your energy, stress resilience, and performance come from simple minerals — often the ones we overlook.

At Peptara, we build peptide plans that actually work. And that means making sure your foundation includes the essential minerals your cells depend on to recover, regulate, and rebuild.

Magnesium: The All-Purpose Chill Pill

More than half of adults are deficient — and even a mild shortage can wreck your sleep, mood, and energy.

Why it’s essential:

  • Supports nervous system regulation (less anxiety, better focus)
  • Aids in muscle recovery and blood sugar stability
  • Crucial for hormone and thyroid function

💡 Forms matter:

  • Glycinate = best for sleep and relaxation
  • Malate = supports energy and metabolic function
  • Threonate = crosses blood-brain barrier for brain support

Zinc: The Repair + Immunity Workhorse

Zinc is critical for immune defense, skin health, hormone production, and wound healing — yet it’s often depleted by stress, poor diet, or overtraining.

When to consider it:

  • Low immunity or frequent illness
  • Poor skin repair, hair thinning, or slow recovery
  • Testosterone or thyroid imbalances

Tip: Take zinc with food and pair with copper (2:1 zinc:copper ratio) to avoid depleting key cofactors.

Electrolytes: More Than Just Hydration

Sodium, potassium, and magnesium aren’t just for athletes — they’re foundational for adrenal balance, hydration, and nervous system health.

Signs you might need more:

  • Fatigue or brain fog in the afternoon
  • Dizziness or low blood pressure
  • Muscle cramps or poor workout recovery

Pro tip: If you fast, follow a keto or low-carb diet, or sweat heavily — electrolytes are a must.

Why We Prioritize These at Peptara

Peptides can’t do their job if your body is missing key building blocks. Magnesium helps you relax. Zinc supports repair. Electrolytes keep the engine running. Without these, protocols feel slow or incomplete.

When reviewing your labs, we often recommend baseline support in these areas — especially if symptoms suggest stress load, burnout, or slow recovery.

Wellness isn’t just about what you add — it’s about filling what’s missing.
 Peptara helps you do both, intelligently.
