Trace minerals
Trace minerals are those inorganic elements which are present at concentrations within the body of less than 50 mg/kg. Note that trace minerals are not necessarily essential for life. Essential trace minerals often produce a clinical deficiency state that is seemingly disproportionately excessive given their concentration; this is a corollary of their central role in enzyme and hormone structure.
The group includes:
- arsenic
- chromium
- cobalt
- copper
- fluorine
- iodine
- iron
- manganese
- molybdenum
- nickel
- selenium
- silicon
- tin
- vanadium
- zinc
