trace minerals

Tiny nutritional requirements

Trace minerals are elements the body needs in very small amounts for proper function—iron, zinc, copper, selenium, and others.

They're distinguished from major minerals like calcium or potassium, which the body requires in larger quantities.

The supplement provides essential trace minerals.

Also called micronutrients or trace elements.
