MINERAL NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
The body needs many minerals;
these are called essential minerals. Essential minerals are sometimes divided up into major
minerals (macrominerals) and trace minerals (microminerals). These two groups of minerals are
equally important, but trace minerals are needed in smaller amounts than major minerals. The
amounts needed in the body are not an indication of their importance.
A balanced diet usually
provides all of the essential minerals. The two tables below list minerals, what they do in the
body (their functions), and their sources in food.
Macrominerals :
- Sodium
- Chloride
- Potassium
- Calcium
- Phosphorus
- Magnesium
- Sulfur
The body needs trace minerals
(microminerals) in very small amounts. Note that iron is considered to be a trace mineral,
although the amount needed is somewhat more than for other microminerals.
Microminerals :
- Iron
- Zinc
- Iodine
- Selenium
- Copper
- Manganese
- Fluoride
- Chromium
- Molybdenum
