What is the difference between macro minerals and micro minerals?
Macro minerals are minerals that are required by the body in larger amounts, typically in doses greater than 100 milligrams per day, such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Micro minerals, on the other hand, are needed in smaller amounts, typically in doses less than 100 milligrams per day, such as iron, zinc, and selenium. Both types of minerals are essential for various physiological functions in the body.

What are micronutrients?
